Landscape Design & Project Planning

Start with how you want to use the yard

Tell us your priorities: a patio for gathering, a clearer walkway, planting around a tree, less lawn to maintain or a complete renovation. Photos, approximate measurements and examples of materials you like are useful starting points.

Topics to discuss during planning

• Patio, path and planting-bed layout
• Rock, mulch, edging and paver choices
• Plant sizes and placement
• Existing grades, drainage and access
• Irrigation changes and phased installation
• Budget priorities and the scope to price

Clarify the design deliverables

Ask which sketches, concept renderings, measurements and revisions are included in your proposed scope. A visual concept helps explain an idea; final materials, dimensions and construction details belong in the agreed project documents. Engineering, surveys and approval documents are separate when needed.

From concept to installation

Once the scope is agreed, the estimate should identify materials, preparation, installation and any exclusions. Explore paver patios, xeriscape conversions and landscape renovation for the types of work you can include.
