Landscape Design
Every homeowner’s outdoor space is unique. Your landscape design should be too. Turning a yard and exterior space into an extended living area occurs through both functional and artistic design.

We strive to deliver a customized transformation of your space, crafted to your specifications and budget and the tenets of landscape design.
Features of Landscape Design
Landscape design blends art and science, hardscape and softscape. The composition of an outdoor area is carefully considered from every angle, so it becomes a comfortable, beautiful composition. The most common features of landscape design include:
- Harmony: Arching trees, plants that draw butterflies, walkways edged by bursting greenery.
- Sound: A crunching pebble and paver path, a trickling water wall or waterfall.
- Color: Shrubs in different shades of green, a colorful blend of flowers.
- Texture: Smooth patio pavers, rough retaining walls, sleek water features.
- Versatility: Outdoor kitchens, fire elements, seat walls, all for relaxation or entertainment.
Well-done landscape design teems with life and beauty. Line, form, weight, scale, proportion, unity, repetition – these are all elements needed to create a balanced, pleasing outdoor area. Stepping into a carefully designed space should feel soothing and just right.
Potential Landscape Design Elements
The natural and the manmade are combined in a balanced landscape design. Strategic placement of every ingredient comes together to form an area where you want to spend time, feel content, and see Mother Nature alive and well among the features that allow you to socialize or enjoy quiet time.
The right landscape designer works with you to bring your vision for your outdoor space to life. As you go over possible features, be prepared to discuss the following:
- Landscape construction: Landscape construction is an essential element of landscape design and refers to the removal, alteration, or installation of hardscapes or softscapes into an existing space to improve functionality. This might mean flattening or raising land, improving drainage, or installing new features like a patio, fountain, fire pit, sidewalks, and plants.
- Hardscape: Hardscape materials incorporated into a landscape includes all the tough stuff – the materials that stay put once they’re installed: patio, retaining walls, fire pit or fireplace, walkways, an outdoor kitchen, grills and bars, and seat walls. The materials chosen and the colors of those materials influence the entire landscape design so both hard and soft features blend sensibly.
- Softscape: No landscape is complete without the soft touch of live plants, shrubs, trees, and flowers. These components grow and change within the landscape from season to season. Some need regular maintenance to maintain their beauty. Others are meant to grow wild and large and envelop an area with their softness. They make an outdoor space come alive.
