Design

When creating the perfect outdoor space for your home or business, the first step is originating a workable design. This is also the most important step. This is a service that our professional landscape architects perform in-house for all of our clients. Whether you're working in phases, remodeling an existing site, or just planning for the future, a well-thought-out design - from concept to master plan - is fundamental to your project's success.

When preparing your design we always consider:

• Architectural style of home
• physical characteristics
  (level, sloped, open, wooded, etc.)
• existing natural features
• feeling or mood
• drainage
• prevailing wind
• utilities
• solar orientation
• adjacent sites (noise, views, etc.)
• existing vegetation
• budget and timing
• lifestyle
• special needs (medical conditions, pets, etc.)
• plant selection/soil evaluation
• ongoing maintenance
• fencing/security
• vehicle access/entryways
• entertaining area
• decking/hardscapes
• water feature/swimming pool/spa
• lighting
