Our Landscape Design Process
The process of landscape design begins with an assessment of your property’s existing environment, such as the topography, soil, micro-climate, and available resources such as water and sunlight.
From there, our landscape designer will work with you to develop a plan that meets your needs and desires. We’ll also take any site-specific limitations and challenges into account. If you’d like to see specific types of plants, trees, flowers, or bushes on your property, then this is the time to raise your hand and tell us what you’re seeking. After all, you’ll be coming home to your yard each day! Our landscape design plan typically includes a detailed layout of the site, including the placement of plants and hardscape features. By the end of our design period, our customers will have a deeper understanding of what their landscape will look like and how the work will be accomplished.
Types of Landscape Design
There are many different styles of landscape design, ranging from traditional formal gardens to more naturalistic, wildflower meadows. Some designs may incorporate elements such as water features, sculptures, or outdoor structures like pergolas or gazebos.
