Beautiful Landscape Design Is About
Attention To Detail
Landscape design is a multifaceted process. It involves careful planning, creative vision, and technical expertise. It is also critical to the success of any landscaping project. We treat every project as a custom design, tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
Beginning with a site visit, we’ll assess the topography, soil conditions, drainage, existing vegetation, sunlight exposure, and any potential constraints or opportunities. The initial design concept we present will take into account the natural environment and intended use of the space, and expand to include planting, hardscaping, grading, drainage, irrigation, and lighting.
Attention will also be given to technical issues like erosion control, wetland requirements, and accessibility, as well as architectural style, spatial organization, and desired materials.
Using Your Environment as the Inspiration
Our team will design a comprehensive plan that integrates all aspects of landscaping, from functional hardscape elements like retaining walls and walkways, to outdoor structures like patios, pergolas, and water features, balancing open space, privacy, and views to create a beautiful, well-utilized environment.
Based on your input, we’ll choose plants compatible with the site–whose growth habits, bloom times, and color palette complement the overall aesthetic. Your plan may include outdoor lighting to illuminate driveways and walkways, highlight focal points, and allow you to enjoy your space after dark. If needed, a specialist can create an efficient, zoned irrigation system to ensure the health and sustainability of your landscape.
Landscape Design Includes
Collaboration
Landscape design aims to create functional, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable outdoor environments. We work closely with you to understand how your vision and functional requirements will best complement your home, other existing outbuildings, and property boundaries. This highly collaborative process combines artistry, science, and technical expertise to create outdoor spaces in harmony with your style, practical needs, and the natural environment.
Comprehensive Site Visit
Our initial visit to your property includes a comprehensive site assessment, including views, exposure, condition, and topography, to ensure the compatibility of the design with the environment.
Detailed Plans & Drawings
Our landscape designers create detailed plans, drawings, and specifications that guide the implementation of the agreed design. These documents provide instructions for the construction team to ensure accurate execution of the design.
Garden Design & Planting Bed Layout
The best garden design and planting design both begin with an analysis of the existing vegetation, climate, soil type, and sun exposure. The final composition will consider plant size, biodiversity, texture, color, bloom time, and scent.
Hardscape Design
Hardscape design may include elements like patios, pools, pathways, walls, water features, outdoor kitchens, outbuildings, and structures like pergolas or gazebos. Materials, proportions, seamless integration with the surrounding landscape, and functional use all play a role in hardscape design.
Sustainable Irrigation Design
Thoughtful Irrigation design should emphasize sustainability. Our landscape designs incorporate technology to create an irrigation system that distributes water effectively and efficiently, ensuring the landscape’s long-term health and resilience.
