Fill out our contact form or call us to schedule a project consultation.
Step 2: Introduction Call
In a quick 15-minute call, we’ll get to know you, hear more about your vision, and share how we work. This is also a chance to see if we’re the right fit to design, build, and care for your outdoor space. If it feels like a match, we’ll connect you with the team members best suited to guide your project.
Step 3: Discovery Call & Design Proposal
Next, you’ll meet with one of our design experts to explore what’s possible for your outdoor space considering your goals, budget, and timeline. Then you’ll receive a detailed proposal outlining our 3-Step Design Process, projected schedule, and a design fee, typically starting at $3,200.
Step 4: Design Development
With your project officially underway, we’ll invite you to contribute inspiration on your personal online design board, helping us tune into your style and preferences. Next, we’ll visit your property to measure, photograph, and note any existing elements you’d like preserved. With these details in hand, we’ll start sketching early design concepts for your future landscape.
Step 5: Review Your Preliminary Design
Now for the exciting part—your first look at the vision we’ve created for your outdoor space. During a Zoom meeting with your designer, you’ll review the proposed layout, plant palette, and a preliminary build budget. We’ll gather your feedback and refine the details to ensure the final design aligns perfectly with your goals.

This is the moment when your design transitions from vision to reality. In a Zoom meeting, we’ll present the polished design and introduce you to the member of our construction team who will help oversee the transformation.

Throughout the process, your dedicated Project Manager will provide regular updates and be available to answer questions, ensuring you’re informed and confident as your design comes to life.
Step 8: Final Walkthrough + Maintenance Planning
Your project concludes with a personal walkthrough of your finished landscape, ensuring every element reflects your vision.
