Property Basics

Size, type, and general description of your property

Property type

How long have you owned or lived at this property?

How would you describe the overall condition of your current landscape?

Well established — maintained, but ready for a different approach Overgrown — invasives and neglect have taken over Largely lawn — mostly turf with minimal plantings Newly cleared or disturbed — construction, renovation, or recent clearing Partially native — some native plantings already in place

Describe your property in your own words

Site Conditions

Soil, sun, water, and topography — what we need to know before we visit

Sun exposure across the project area Select all that apply — most properties have multiple conditions.

Full sun (6+ hours direct sun) Part sun / part shade (3–6 hours) Full shade (under 3 hours) Varies significantly across property

What does your soil feel like in most areas?

Sandy — drains very quickly, dry between rains (Common near coastal areas) Loamy — dark, holds moisture reasonably well (Often good garden soil) Clay-heavy — stays wet, compacts, slow to drain (Sticky when wet, hard when dry) Rocky or compacted — thin soil, difficult to dig I'm not sure — I've never paid attention to my soil

How does your property drain after heavy rain?

Drains quickly — rarely stands water Drains normally — puddles clear within a few hours Slow drainage — some areas hold water for a day or more Significant pooling — standing water persists for days, or we have a wet area that never fully dries Runoff problem — water flows across hard surfaces and leaves the property

Topography — how would you describe your property's slope?Select all that apply.

Is your property near any of the following?Select all that apply.

Existing Landscape

What's on the property now — plants, structures, and problems

What percentage of your property is currently lawn / turf?

Under 25% 25–50% 50–75% Over 75%

Do you have a septic system?

Yes — please describe location below No — municipal sewer Not sure

If yes — septic field location and any known boundaries

Wildlife & Pest Pressure

What's eating, digging, or competing on your property

How severe is deer pressure on your property?Circle or mark one: 1 = Rarely see deer · 5 = Deer eat everything

Have you used pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers in the past 3 years?

Yes — we use a lawn care service regularly Yes — we apply products ourselves occasionally No — we've avoided chemicals intentionally Not sure what previous owners or tenants used

Any specific pest or wildlife problems you want to address?

Project Goals

What you want to achieve and why you're making this change

What prompted you to reach out to Spadefoot now?

Fed up with lawn care costs and chemicals Concerned about water quality in my area Saw a neighbor's or nearby native landscape Specific problem I need help solving (erosion, flooding, invasives) New to ecological landscaping, exploring options A friend or neighbor referred me Read an article or saw Spadefoot online

Is there a specific area of the property you want to focus on first, or is this a whole-property project?

What does success look like to you in 5 years?

Aesthetic Preferences

How you want the landscape to look and feel

How would you describe your aesthetic preference?

Naturalistic and wild — I want it to look like a piece of Long Island's original landscape Structured and tidy — native plants in defined beds with clean edges Somewhere in between — intentional and cared-for but not manicured I'm not sure yet — I want your recommendation based on what works ecologically

What seasonal qualities matter most to you?Select all that apply.

Spring bloom — early color and pollinators Summer structure and interest Fall color — foliage and berries Winter structure — seed heads, bark, form Year-round screening or privacy Fragrance

Are there specific plants you love and want included?

Are there plants you strongly dislike or want avoided?

Are there any HOA restrictions, covenant requirements, or neighbor considerations we should know about?

How You Use Your Property

Lifestyle, household, and how the landscape fits into daily life

How do you primarily use your outdoor space?Select all that apply.

Do you have dogs, and if so, do they have free range of the property?

Yes — dogs have full free range Yes — dogs have a designated area or fenced run No dogs

Are there areas of the property that must remain accessible or functional at all times?

Timeline & Investment

When you want to start and what you're prepared to invest

When are you hoping to start?

As soon as possible — this growing season Next season — planning ahead Within the next year, flexible on timing No set timeline — exploring and gathering information

Are you open to phasing the project over multiple seasons?

Yes — phasing makes sense for a project this size Prefer to do it all at once Open to either option

What is your approximate investment range for this project? This helps us scope the right project size and approach. All responses are confidential.

Under $5,000 (Best for focused interventions — a rain garden, a small native bed, invasive removal in one area) $5,000 – $15,000 (Good for a meaningful landscape conversion in one zone or a living shoreline installation) $15,000 – $35,000 (Whole-yard or multi-zone conversion, including invasive management and establishment stewardship) $35,000 – $75,000 (Large residential property or full ecological restoration with multiple systems) Over $75,000 (Estate-scale or comprehensive ecological transformation including design, construction, and multi-year stewardship) Not sure yet — I need to understand scope before committing a number

Are you interested in Spadefoot's stewardship program for the first two growing seasons?Most projects benefit significantly from professional monitoring and invasive management during establishment.

Yes, definitely Maybe — want to learn more about it first I'd prefer to self-manage after installation
