Landscape Design
A plan built around how you actually use your yard — sun, drainage, traffic flow, and how the different areas connect — before any material gets chosen.
Overview
How we approach landscape design.
Landscape design is where every project starts, whether it’s a single patio or a full yard renovation. We walk the property, talk through how you use the space now and how you want to use it, and account for the things that aren’t obvious from the street — grading, drainage paths, mature trees, and sun exposure through the seasons.
The result is a plan that ties hardscape and softscape together intentionally, rather than treating them as separate purchases. A patio, a retaining wall, and the planting bed next to it should read as one composition, not three unrelated projects finished at different times.
What's included
What matters in a landscape design project.
- A site plan grounded in how the property actually drains and gets used, not a generic template
- Hardscape and planting decisions made together instead of in isolation
- One point of reference that construction stays accountable to as the project moves forward
- Room to phase a larger vision across multiple projects without losing the plan

Why Every Outdoor Project Should Start With a Design, Not a Material Choice

Picking pavers before you've planned the space is like picking paint before you've drawn the floor plan. Here's why design comes first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a landscape design if I’m only doing one project, like a patio?
Yes — even a single feature benefits from being planned in the context of the rest of the yard, so it doesn’t conflict with drainage, existing trees, or something you might add later.
How long does the design phase take?
It depends on the scope of the property and project, and we’ll give you a specific timeline once we’ve walked the site.
Can you design around existing landscaping I want to keep?
Yes. We start from what’s already on the property, including anything you want preserved, rather than assuming a blank slate.
