Our Landscape Design Process
Designing a landscape that you can enjoy and be proud of is a complex and multi-step process. Landscape design requires a great deal of thought and care to ensure that the end result will meet your needs and preferences. A well-designed landscape not only adds beauty and value to your property but also enhances its functionality and sustainability.
Here are some factors that we need to consider when designing your landscape:
#1. Lay of the land: The topography of the land, including its slope, elevation, and drainage patterns, can have a significant impact on the design of a landscape. These factors can affect the placement of features such as patios, retaining walls, and water features.
#2. Size of the area: The size of the area that is being designed will also affect the design. We must consider the amount of available space, and how best to use that space to create a cohesive and functional design.
#3. Use of plants: Plants are an essential part of any landscape design, and the choice of plants must be carefully considered. We must consider factors such as the local climate, soil type, sun exposure, and plant growth characteristics. We must also consider your preferences and the purpose of the plants, whether they are for shade, privacy, or aesthetic appeal.
#4. Growth at maturity: When selecting plants as part of your landscape design, we must consider how they will grow and how big they will be at maturity. Your landscape 2,3, or even 5 years down the road will change as your plants grow. This is an important design detail we need to consider to ensure that the plants do not outgrow their designated spaces or become an obstacle for maintenance in the future.
#5. Hardscaping: Hardscaping, which includes features such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls, can be an integral part of your landscape design. We must consider the function and aesthetics of these features and how they will fit into the overall design.
#6. Softscaping: Softscaping is all of the softer, natural elements of your landscape. This could include lawn areas, garden beds, landscape beds, hedges, shrubs, and trees. Do you want a landscape that is low maintenance? Do you want a landscape that reduces watering requirements? Or how about natural habitat for local wildlife? These are factors we need to consider with your landscape design.
#7: Budget: We know not everyone likes to talk about their budget for their landscaping but this is critical to getting a great design. We don't want to provide you with ideas and concepts that are outside of your price range. If we know and understand your budget we can ensure the options we provide are going to stay within your range. We don't want to design a landscape that you cannot afford to build.
Step #1. Consultation: We will meet with you on your property to discuss your needs, preferences, and budget.
Step #2. Site analysis: We will conduct a thorough analysis of the site, including its topography, soil type, drainage, and sun exposure.
Step #3. Design concept: We will create a preliminary 2D or 3D design concept, including the layout of features and the selection and layout of plants.
Step #4. Design development: We will refine the design concept, taking into consideration any feedback you have. We want to make sure you're 100% happy with the design before proceeding.
Step #5. Final design: We will present you with the final design, including a detailed plant list and hardscape specifications which will include the specific types and styles of materials being used.
Step #6. Installation: Once the design has been approved by you, we will then schedule and oversee the installation of your new landscape.

I had Chris and his crew do major work to restore our garden. It had been neglected for over 10 years. They did major restoration work including installing retaining walls, bringing in river rock, planting, and installing irrigation. Everyone was super responsive and respectful. I would definitely recommend them. Great people great work with.
Chris installed new landscape edging along the front of our house and he was fast, professional, and affordable. He always does a great job on our yard and is friendly and knowledgeable.
We had Chris basically go through our entire 4+ acres of overgrown junk filled property and clean it all up. Oh man, wow! Just amazing. The big effort (and most awesome result) was an area right by the house which went from a jungle to a neat and tidy landscaped area. I wish I could post before and after pix here, it was that dramatic a change. Plus Chris is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and just a great guy. Dave Given Lolo MT
