Frequently asked questions

Sunshine Landscape is a full-service landscaping and hardscaping company. We handle lawn care and mowing, landscape design and installation, paver patios and walkways, retaining walls, mulch and garden beds, tree and shrub care, sod installation and lawn renovation, drainage and grading, landscape lighting, outdoor living features like fire pits, and seasonal spring and fall cleanups. In winter we also offer snow and ice removal. If your project touches the ground around your home or business, there's a good chance we can help — and if it's something we don't do, we'll tell you honestly.

Our home base is Plymouth, and we serve all of Marshall County along with nearby communities including Culver, Bremen, Nappanee, and Walkerton. If you're in the greater Plymouth and Northern Indiana area and aren't sure whether you're within our range, just give us a call at (574) 213-9003 — we're happy to let you know.

Yes — estimates are always free and there's never any pressure to commit. Every yard, project, and budget is different, so rather than quote a one-size-fits-all number, we look at your specific property and what you want to accomplish, then put together a clear, honest price. For larger projects like patios, retaining walls, or full landscape installations, we'll typically walk the site with you so the estimate reflects the real scope. You'll always know what you're paying for before any work begins.

It's simple. Call or text us at (574) 213-9003, or fill out the quick quote form on our site and tell us a bit about your project. We'll follow up to learn what you're hoping to do, schedule a time to see the property if needed, and provide a free estimate. From there, if it's a fit, we'll get you on the schedule. There's no obligation at any step.

Yes. Sunshine Landscape is fully licensed and insured. That protects both you and our crew while we work on your property, and it's part of doing business the right way. If you ever have questions about our coverage before a project, just ask — we're glad to talk it through.

We're a family-owned and operated business with more than 20 years of experience caring for outdoor spaces across Plymouth and Northern Indiana. When you hire us, you're working with Alex and his crew — the same dependable local team from start to finish, not a rotating roster of strangers. That continuity is a big part of why so many of our customers come back season after season.

We do. The majority of our work is for homeowners, but we also provide commercial grounds maintenance, mowing, seasonal color, and snow contracts for businesses and managed properties. Whether it's a backyard patio or keeping a commercial lot polished and welcoming year-round, we bring the same attention to detail to every job.

Both. Some customers want a single project — a new patio, a one-time cleanup, fresh mulch, or a single mow — and that's perfectly fine. Others prefer a regular schedule so their property always looks its best without them having to think about it. We'll set you up with whatever fits your needs, and you're never locked into more than you want.

Northern Indiana has four very real seasons, and we work with all of them. In spring we handle cleanups, bed prep, mulching, and getting your lawn ready to thrive. Through summer we keep up with mowing, trimming, and plant care. In fall we do leaf removal and full cleanups to put your landscape to bed properly. And in winter we provide snow and ice removal for driveways, sidewalks, and commercial lots so you stay safe and accessible.

We do our best to be realistic and reliable about timing. For recurring services like mowing, we keep a consistent schedule so you know roughly when to expect us. For projects, we'll give you a timeframe up front and keep you in the loop if weather or conditions shift things — which, in Indiana, sometimes happens. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, and we're closed weekends, but you're welcome to leave a message anytime and we'll get back to you.

Usually not. For most maintenance visits and many projects, you don't need to be present as long as we have access to the work area — gates unlocked and pets kept inside. For initial estimates and larger installations, it's helpful to meet so we can talk through exactly what you want, but we'll always find an approach that's convenient for you.

We aim to keep payment simple and straightforward. We'll go over payment details with you when we provide your estimate so everything is clear before work starts — no surprises. If you have a preferred way to pay, let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate it.

We're a local, family-owned crew that genuinely cares about doing right by our neighbors. With 20+ years in the area, we know what grows well in Northern Indiana's climate and soil, and we treat every property as if it were our own. Our customers consistently tell us we're efficient, clean, and fair — one even noted we helped with a few things we spotted that weren't part of the original quote. We show up when we say we will, do honest work for an honest price, and stand behind it.
