Our landscape design service follows a clear, three-phase process that guides homeowners from concept to completion. Rather than overwhelming you with decisions upfront, this phased approach creates clarity, reduces stress, and allows your vision to evolve naturally. Each phase includes personal collaboration and one design revision, ensuring the final plan reflects your style, your needs, and how you want to enjoy your outdoor space.
This phase establishes the overall structure and flow of the outdoor space. We focus on big-picture layout and functionality before getting into detailed materials or planting decisions.
Focus areas include:
Overall site layout and circulation
Major hardscape elements such as patios, walkways, outdoor kitchens, pools, retaining walls, and garden areas
Functional zoning for use, access, and flow
Deliverables:
Scaled conceptual landscape layout (digital PDF)
Preliminary hardscape material direction
Softscape zoning (lawn vs. planting areas)
One design revision to incorporate feedback
Why this matters:
Getting the layout right upfront prevents costly changes later and gives the entire project a clear direction.
Once the structure is set, we design the living elements of the landscape and the systems that support them long term.
Focus areas include:
Complete planting plan tailored to climate, soil, sun/shade, and maintenance preferences
Efficient irrigation design including zones, drip lines, and sprinklers
Water-conscious strategies and system integration
Accent elements such as decorative rock, mulch, lighting concepts, and focal features
Deliverables:
Detailed planting schedule with quantities and placement
Irrigation layout with component specifications
Optional feature enhancement concepts
One design revision to finalize the plan
Why this matters:
This phase ensures the landscape is both beautiful and sustainable, with systems designed for long-term success
The final phase focuses on materials, textures, colors, and accessories that complete the design. By saving these decisions for last, we avoid decision fatigue and ensure everything ties together cohesively.
Focus areas include:
Hardscape surface and material selection
Outdoor living elements such as furniture, planters, fire features, shade, and water elements
Color and texture coordination across the entire landscape
Optional lighting fixture selection
Budget, durability, and maintenance review
Deliverables:
Final materials board (digital PDF)
Specifications list for all finishes and accessories
Optional upgrade recommendations
One design revision to refine selections
Why this matters:
This phase ensures the final design feels intentional, polished, and practical—without overcomplicating choices.
