Design Journey
Our Design Process for Your Dream Outdoor Space
A clear, collaborative journey from concept to completion for large landscape and patio projects.
Our Project Lifecycle
A detailed approach that puts you first
Inquiry & Discovery
-You send a request (form, call, or email). -We confirm basics: address, goals, budget range, timeline, and photos (if available).
On-Site Consultation
We meet at your property to walk the space, take measurements, discuss style, use-cases, drainage, access, and any constraints (utilities, slopes, HOA).
Concept & Budget
We outline solution options (layouts, materials, tiers/steps, walls, lighting) and share a rough budget range so we’re aligned before deep design.
Formal Proposal & Quote
You receive an itemized quote with scope, materials, inclusions/exclusions, and terms. If a detailed plan is needed, we provide (or coordinate) design drawings.
Design Revisions (If Needed)
- We refine layout, features, and quantities together to dial in look, function, and cost. - Final drawings/specs approved by you.
Material & Color Selections
- We guide choices for pavers, wall block, edging, rock/mulch, and accents (fire pit, lighting). - Samples/photos and supplier references provided; selections documented for the build.
Scheduling & Pre-Build Checklist
- We set a target start window and share a simple prep list (clear access, pets, parking, irrigation notes). - Deposit (per proposal) secures materials and schedule.
Build Phase
- Hardscape installation (base, compaction, pavers/walls/steps), edging, joint sand, and sealing (if specified). - Landscape finishes (beds, plants, mulch/rock), lighting, and details.
Quality Checks & Communication
- Daily progress updates; change orders discussed and approved in writing if scope shifts. - We verify grades, lines, and compaction meet highest standards.
Walkthrough & Checklist
- Final walkthrough with you to review workmanship and details. - Any touch-ups are addressed promptly.
Care Guide & Closeout
- You receive care/maintenance tips (paver settling, cleaning, plant care) and any applicable warranties. - Final invoice issued.
Follow-Up & Maintenance Options
After completion we offer seasonal maintenance options if desired (edging refresh, plant care, sealing, aeration, mulch refresh).
