Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work in occupied facilities?
Yes, we specialize in occupied renovations with dust containment and minimal disruption.
Do you offer emergency services?
Yes, we respond to emergencies affecting resident safety or facility operations.
How much do commercial landscapers charge per hour?
Landscaping costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour, depending on the type of task needed, location, project size, and complexity. For instance, urban areas have higher landscaping rates than rural or less populated ones.
What are common landscaping mistakes?
Common landscaping mistakes include poor planning (no design, impulse buys, overlooking maintenance), wrong plant choices (not suiting climate/light/mature size, using invasives), improper planting (overcrowding, wrong depth, ignoring soil prep/drainage), and bad maintenance (over/underwatering, incorrect pruning, neglecting mulch). These lead to overgrown, unhealthy, or chaotic gardens that don't meet expectations and require costly fixes.
How much does it cost to build a senior living facility?
Summary. The average cost of a seniors housing development has increased by 17.8% since 2020 to $317,400 per unit or $333 per sq. ft. The increase is largely attributable to higher labor and materials costs, as well as operating expenses and outlays for entitlements.
How do I design senior-friendly bathrooms and kitchens?
Senior-friendly bathrooms and kitchens should focus on safety and accessibility. Use non-slip flooring, walk-in showers, grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and good lighting in bathrooms. In kitchens, choose lower or adjustable countertops, pull-out cabinets, easy-grip handles, slip-resistant floors, and appliances placed at reachable heights to support safe, independent living.
What is the safest flooring for elderly bathrooms?
The safest bathroom flooring for elderly users includes non-slip vinyl, textured tiles, or rubber flooring. These options provide traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls.
