Yes. We offer free consultations and do not require any payment to come out to your home and discuss your needs and wants.

Vine & Fig Tree Landscaping is a licensed and insured landscape design-build contracting company. This means that we design, install, and maintain small to large scale landscape plans, such as but not limited to planting, lighting, water features, stepping stones, formal and informal gardens, retreats, and various other outdoor designs. We do not offer mowing, weedeating, and lawn care services, as we generally only maintain (mulch, trim, edge, fertilize, etc) the landscape designs we install. Landscape design is a different sector of the green industry than the maintenance and lawn care side, as we are focused on site analysis, plant selection, design and installation expertise, etc.

At VFT, we offer detailed landscape maintenance services on our installed designs. We will properly trim your plants at the right time and take the stress away. However, if looking to do it yourself, there are some factors that dictate when pruning should occur, such as whether the plant blooms on old or new wood, the goal of pruning, the health of the plant, bloom time, and disease factors. Generally speaking, dormant (winter) pruning is a good idea for most species, as you can remove dead branches, thin out canopies of trees, and shape up shrubs before it is warm enough for them to have new growth. Some shrubs can be pruned almost anytime (example-boxwood); however, proper knowledge is needed. For example, pruning rhododendron, hydrangea macrophylla, or fothergilla gardenii in early spring will dramatically decrease or possibly prohibit blooming, as you will be trimming off lasts year’s growth which is the wood that gives way to bloom.

Fortunately for you, there are plenty of landscape projects that old man winter does not keep us from completing. As long as the ground isn’t frozen, we are able to plant shrubs, trees, carry out pruning work, install hardscapes, and complete lighting and water feature work. However, if you are wanting an annual/tender perennial garden, we must wait until after the threat of frost has passed to complete that portion of the work. Call now to secure your spot.

Absolutely! We deal with many clients who claim they have a “brown thumb”. Vine & Fig Tree always sets our clients up for success with proper planting practices, low maintenance plantings, and easy to care for designs. We fertilize, prune, and water when planted. Most plants we use in our designs are hardy in our area, durable, and easy to grow. Many plants we use also respond well to not so favorable conditions. Proper watering is all we ask of our clients, and we do the rest! But don’t worry, we thoroughly walk you through what is needed, and you will be surprised by the results!

We service clients within Huntington, WV, and surrounding areas (Barboursville, Milton, Culloden, Proctorville, Ona, Lavalette, Lesage, etc.) Generally, a 10-15 mile radius. We will travel farther on a case-by-case basis.
