Landscape Design.
Clear decisions. Ready to Install.
Landscape design with a clear plan forward.
You’re planning a major landscape investment and want to see your options clearly before anything is built.
You may be starting from scratch, or you may have talked with contractors — but key decisions around layout, structures, and materials still feel unresolved.
We help you figure things out. We start on site, walking the property with you and understanding how you want to use your space.
From there, we develop your design in 3D — testing options, putting decisions in the right order, and shaping a plan that shows how everything works together.
The result is a complete, buildable design set installers can accurately cost and build from.
What We Do
Landscape Design & Planning
Site-specific landscape design that balances layout, materials, planting, and long-term use — developed through a structured, decision-led process.
3D Visuals for Decision-Making
A working 3D model used throughout the design process to explore options and refine decisions before anything is built.
Design Guidance During Installation
Optional design support during installation to help navigate real-world conditions, tradeoffs, and key decisions as the project takes shape.

The Path from Ideas to Installation
Step 1
Define the Direction
We start with goals, priorities, site conditions, and how you want to use your space.
Step 2
Design the Plan
Your landscape is developed through space planning, 3D modeling, and clear documentation — so decisions are made in the right order.
Step 3
Prepare for Installation
With a complete design in hand, you’re ready for accurate costing, installation, and optional design support.

FAQs
Let's clear them up...
Do you install?
YesPlease.GARDEN is a landscape design-led practice, not a licensed installer.
Some clients hire us to stay involved with the project during installation; however, this is optional and decided after the design is complete.
Many clients move from design into construction with licensed local contractors we know and trust, while others build with their own installer. Our role is to create a clear, coordinated design that’s ready to be built.
Can I use my own installer?
Yes.
Many clients already have a contractor they trust. Our design documents are created so qualified installers can price and build what’s on the page — without guesswork.
If helpful, we can coordinate directly with your installer to align scope, sequencing, and intent before construction begins.
Do I need a contractor before I start?
No.
In most cases, design comes first. The goal is to answer the big questions — layout, scale, structure, and materials — before anyone is asked to price or build.
Once the design is clear, it’s much easier to identify the right contractor for the scope and move forward with confidence.
What does landscape design typically cost?
Design fees are based on the scope of work and the level of detail needed to create a build-ready plan. We outline the design range early so expectations are clear.
What happens after design?
Once the design is complete, there’s a natural fork in the road.
Some clients take the plans and move directly into construction with their installer. Others choose to keep us involved for Contractor Alignment and Installation Design Oversight during the build.
Either way, the design documents provide a clear path forward, with options for the level of support that fits your project.
What if we've already talked to contractors but something doesn't feel right?
Usually, it means the project hasn’t been fully designed yet.
Contractors can outline big moves — where a patio might go or how a kitchen could shift — but without a design, it’s hard to evaluate how everything fits together. Circulation, scale, material relationships, and adjacencies often remain unresolved.
This is often when a contractor says, “We need a designer to sort this out so we can build it.” A clear design allows everyone to see what’s being built, where it goes, and how the pieces relate.
Our role is to resolve layout and flow, define scope, and document decisions so costing and construction can move forward cleanly.
What if we don't know exactly what we want yet?
That’s normal.
Most projects begin with a few goals and a sense that the space isn’t working. The design process is how those ideas are tested and organized into a clear plan.
We focus first on layout, structure, and how the space will be used. Once those decisions are in place, material and feature choices become more straightforward.
You don’t need a fully formed vision to begin. The design process is where clarity is built.
