THE BEST LANDSCAPE DESIGN ISN't JUST PRETTY - IT's Smart!

THE BENEFITS OF PROFeSSIONAL DESIGN

​Landscape design brings together plants, patios, walkways, pergolas, water features, landscape lighting, and more to create a space that is attractive, functional, and the perfect complement to your home.

Whether you're updating an existing landscape or starting fresh with a new home build, partnering with a professional designer will make a huge difference in the outcome of your project.

​While there are many benefits of a well-designed landscape, three of the biggest are:

AVOID MISTAKES THAT COST EXTRA MONEY & TIME
Starting with a professional design for your landscape saves both money and time by reducing the likelihood of DIY mistakes. (Think re-planting or hardscape/structure demolition down the road if landscape elements don't play well together.)

EXPERTS TAKE CARE OF THE DETAILS
A skilled landscape designer creates a plan that takes into consideration all factors that affect your landscape such as:

• sun/shade
• soil composition
• grading/drainage
• presence of wildlife

These details are critical for finding the right plants for the right places in your landscape and may also impact decisions on hardscape or other materials to be used. Your landscape designer can also offer guidance on obtaining a property survey and understanding HOA/ARB guidelines.

PEACE OF MIND BEFORE BREAKING GROUND
A comprehensive landscape design is your road map for a successful transformation. It ensures all elements of the design fit together seamlessly and allows you to prioritize implementation to fit your preferences and/or budget. By going through the discovery, design, and revision process with your designer, you can rest easy knowing you'll love the end results!

LOVE THE PROCESS & THE RESULTS

Our professional landscape designers collaborate with you. They work to understand your vision, thoroughly analyze your landscape to make their best recommendations, and maintain open and clear communication throughout the length of your project.

Our team will provide tools for you to discover the wants and needs you have for your landscape, budgeting for the overall project and the first phase of implementation, and discuss the following with you before beginning your design:

• Designing for function. The first step in landscape design is to determine the purpose of the space. Will it be a place for relaxation? For entertaining? For children to play? Once you know the purpose of the space, you can start to plan the layout and select the appropriate plants and hardscape elements.
  
  
• Creating a sense of place. The next step is to create a sense of place in the landscape. This can be done by selecting plants or hardscape elements that suit a preferred theme.
  
  
• Using plants to create interest. Plants are what give the landscape life. They provide color, texture, and interest. When choosing plants, it is important to consider the size, shape, and color of the plants as well as the climate and soil conditions.
  
  
• Using hardscape elements to create structure. Hardscape elements such as patios, walkways, and walls provide structure to the landscape. They can also be used to create different areas in the space.
  
  
• Using water features to create interest. Water features such as fountains, pools, and waterfalls can add interest to the landscape. They can also provide a place for relaxation and contemplation.
