How Our Landscape Design Process Works


Our process begins with an initial consultation to discuss your goals, followed by a custom design, installation, and optional ongoing maintenance to keep your space thriving.

    Initial Consultation

    I will come to you and we will walk through your site together to explore its potential. We’ll discuss your needs and aspirations for the project. During the visit I will take measurements, a photographic inventory, and develop a digital layout plan. I consider site conditions such as views, soil quality, drainage, and light requirements, as well as preferences in regards to maintenance levels.

    Design

    Here is where I show you the possibilities of your space. I’ll create a finalized 3D rendering along with a detailed plant list that’s yours to keep. We’ll meet in person to go through the design together—talking through plants, placement, and next steps. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions, suggest changes, and make sure everything reflects your vision. The goal is for you to feel confident and excited about the plan before we move on to installation.

    Installation

    This is when your vision starts to come to life! We take the finalized design and thoughtfully install everything—from plants and mulch to edging and other features. We handle all the details, making sure each plant is placed correctly for optimal growth and each element is installed to last. You’ll get to see your garden take shape step by step, and we’ll make sure everything matches the plan we created together. Our goal is a smooth, stress-free installation so you can start enjoying your beautiful space right away.

    Garden Maintenance

    Now that you have a new garden, or an already established one, you may simply want to enjoy it! Some people find satisfaction in weeding, pruning, and general maintenance, but that may not be your jam. Luckily, we enjoy that type of work! Our goal is to ensure your garden thrives and becomes established by providing knowledgeable weeding, pruning, and plant management.
