Our Landscape Design-Build Process
From the first walkthrough to the final sweep of the patio, here's how we design and build your landscape.
Good landscape design starts with knowing what's underneath it.
We bring more than 20 years of landscape design experience, backed by in-depth knowledge of construction, soil quality, geology, horticulture, and environmental impact. We listen to you first, offer ideas where you want them, and share what we know when it helps.
How we design
We design where your project will be built: on your property, with you there. The goal is a landscape that feels right, fits the way you live, and holds up.
Design-Build Approach
We're a design-build company: the same team that designs your project builds it. You have one point of contact from the first conversation to the finished work, and designs that are priced and buildable from the start.
Shaped around your home
Layouts that fit the lines of your house, the way you use your outdoor space, and the budget you set.
Engineered for the site
Almost every project in the Pacific Northwest has a drainage consideration. Every design accounts for slope, soil, and where the water goes, so your landscape stays level, solid, and puddle-free through the rainy season.
Priced as it's designed
Because the team that designs your project also builds it, your design is priced from real construction costs, so you can make choices with your budget in view.

After the consultation, we take our notes, work your design ideas into our estimate, and get back to you within a few days.
- Review materials, structure types, and safety factors
- Choose between styles, like paver and stone types

Step 3: Schedule Work Start and Perform Locate
Before any digging starts, we need to have all underground utilities located. Once that's complete, we're usually clear to start work.
- Set your start date and keep you posted on the schedule
- Request utility locates so water, power, gas, and other lines are marked before we dig
- Confirm access and delivery points
- Order approved materials and verify specs
Regular updates · always reachable
Step 4: Construction & Delivery
We handle the full build using proven techniques and materials chosen for the Pacific Northwest. Because the team that designed your project is the team building it, the design carries straight through to the finished work. We're on site most days to oversee the work, we keep you updated as it progresses, and you can always reach us directly with any questions.
- Excavate, grade, and build solid bases so everything stays level and stable
- Build each feature in your design, from patios, retaining walls, and steps to water features, plantings, and woodwork
- Work through slopes, wet ground, and tight access while minimizing environmental impact
