Landscape Design Process

A collaborative design journey, from first sketch to final detail.

01. DISCOVER

Exploring Design Direction

Each project starts with a consultation where we learn about you and your project. We talk about style preferences, inspiration, budget, and how you imagine yourself using your new space. We assess the site conditions and outline next steps.

02. DESIGN

Developing the Design Concept

We explore ideas and develop conceptual drawings and renderings based on your criteria. We refine the design according to your feedback, and provide preliminary cost projections for the project. This is a collaborative process, and your input is invaluable.

03. PLAN

Preparing For Construction

In phase 3, we prepare detailed drawings for permitting and construction. We obtain building permits if needed, and we engage trusted contractors in the project, providing updated timelines and cost estimates.

04. BUILD

Crafting Your New Space

We work closely with our team of trusted contractors throughout the construction process to ensure that the finished space aligns with our design intent. We make regular site visits and provide solutions to unforseen challenges and conditions.

New Project Inquiries

Our project inquiry form is the first step in our client experience. It’s a chance to share a few details about your project so we can understand where you’re at in the process and provide helpful next steps—whether you’re simply gathering information or ready to move forward.
