What This Service Entails
Design Before a Single Shovel Hits the Ground
A good landscape is decided on paper, not mid-project. We survey sun, soil, drainage, and access, then draw a layout that fits your budget and the way you live — play areas, seating, planting, and paths in the right places.
- Site analysis: sun, soil, drainage, and access
- Concept layout with zones for living, planting, and paths
- Planting plan matched to light and maintenance level
- Material palette and budget ranges for every surface
- Phasing plan so you can build in stages if needed
