How we bring your outdoor vision to life
Our design process
Our design process is clear and straightforward. From the first concept to the finished project, we focus on communication, careful planning, and attention to detail. This approach helps ensure every project moves smoothly from design to completion.
Initial virtual consultation
During our phone or video consultation, we’ll review your project in detail. We’ll look at your existing landscape, discuss design elements you’re interested in—such as hardscapes, outdoor fireplaces, or pools—and confirm your functional needs and budget. Photos of the area are required before the consultation so we can provide accurate guidance.
Onsite review
We’ll schedule a visit to review your property and take detailed measurements. During the walkthrough, we’ll discuss design ideas on site so you can provide feedback and make adjustments right away. This step helps ensure the final plan fits your space, meets your needs, and works with the existing landscape.
Detailed design
Using the information from the on-site review, our design team creates detailed plans that include layouts, hardscape features, planting areas, and optional elements like fireplaces or pools. For an additional cost, we can provide 3D renderings or virtual tours so you can see how the design will look before construction begins.
Proposal
After reviewing your feedback, we prepare a detailed proposal that includes the final design plan, itemized budget, and project timeline. You’ll have the chance to review the proposal, ask questions, and request any final changes before moving forward.
Pre-build
Before work begins, we obtain any required permits and coordinate with utility companies to mark underground lines. Materials are ordered, and the construction schedule is finalized for efficiency. A pre-construction meeting is held to review the plan and timeline so the project can move forward smoothly.
Build
The construction phase begins with a project kickoff to align the team and review goals. Our project manager oversees all work to ensure it meets schedule and quality standards. You’ll receive regular updates as progress continues. The phase ends with a final walkthrough to confirm that everything meets your expectations before the project is completed.
Available at extra cost
3D rendering
Our 3D rendering service lets you see your landscape, pool, or hardscape design before construction begins. For an additional cost, we create a realistic preview of your project so you can review details and make adjustments as needed.
