The foundation of a timeless landscape starts with a design.
We take your inspirations and ideas, then use our expertise and knowledge to create an outdoor living design experience that brings your vision to life before construction begins.
From ideas and measurements to an immersive 3D outdoor living plan.
Someone from our team of trusted, expert designers will meet at your home for a free consultation to discuss your options. They gather measurements, pictures, inspirational images, and ideas you already have.
Once you are ready to move forward with a design, you receive a design contract and payment options. Your designer starts the design as soon as both have been received. Depending on the size of the design, you typically receive your first draft within 1 to 2 weeks from signing.
What the design phase can include
- Immersive 3D design that captures the full outdoor living concept
- Virtual walk-through support so you can understand the space before you build
- Material recommendations for pavers, concrete, structures, turf, planting, and finishes
- Plant selections, construction timeline guidance, and payment planning
- Design direction that balances aesthetics with function

Not every project needs the same first step.
One of our expert designers can help evaluate whether you need a tailored plan to maximize beauty and function, a detailed and thorough estimate, or full HOA submittals.

- Helpful for planning phasing, scope, and budget
- Designed to clarify whether design, estimating, or HOA documentation comes first
Moved into an HOA community with rules and guidelines?
No problem. We can create an HOA submittal for your outdoor landscaping approval. This is especially valuable for new-construction homes and neighborhoods where landscape design packages must be approved before work begins.
HOA-ready packages can support front yard remodels, backyard transformations, plant selections, hardscape, turf, irrigation, drainage, pools, pergolas, patio covers, and full outdoor living environments.

Why create a design before construction?
A design helps you visualize the investment before construction, coordinate materials and plant selections, satisfy HOA requirements, and reduce costly changes once crews are on site.
