Our Landscape Design Process

Site Assessment & Discovery

We'll walk your property to evaluate sun exposure, soil composition, and drainage because good design starts from the ground up.

Style Integration

Your landscape should feel like a natural extension of your home. Whether you live in a colonial, modern farmhouse, or contemporary style home, we ensure cohesion between your landscape and architecture.

Problem Solving & Wish List

Need more privacy? Tired of muddy pathways? Want better curb appeal? We’ll incorporate solutions into your design, not just aesthetics.

Design Plan Development

We provide a master plan that can be installed all at once or in phases. Whatever suits your timeline and budget.

Build With Confidence

With our licensed crew and 100% satisfaction guarantee, you’ll enjoy a stress-free installation experience backed by The Guarantee & A Half™.

Garden Enhancement Packages

Our Garden Enhancement Packages give you five impactful ways to elevate your space—no full redesign required:

A small garden fountain features water flowing over a large rock onto smooth river stones, surrounded by green plants and bordered by stone pavers. Sunlight highlights the natural textures.

Add a peaceful Water Feature

A well-maintained garden bed along a white fence with green shrubs, tall grasses, ferns, and flowering plants beside a mowed lawn and a large rock near a tree trunk.

Refresh your planting beds with mulch and seasonal color

Clusters of green chive plants grow in a garden bed, with some showing small purple flowers. Sunlight highlights the lush, spiky leaves, and the background shows a grassy lawn.
