Details worth thinking through
Make your landscape design project your own.
Connect the outdoor rooms
Cooking, dining, lounging and play areas should feel distinct without interrupting the flow of the yard. Consider views and walking routes from the doors of your home.
Work with sun and shade
Observe which areas receive sun through the day and where shade would make the space more comfortable. Those patterns can guide seating, planting and the position of a patio cover.
Choose a landscape you can enjoy maintaining
Compare the care needs of lawn, planting and hardscape. Irrigation access, drainage and material choices all affect the upkeep of the finished space.
Before we begin
Landscape Design in Orange County: questions, answered.
How much does landscape design cost in Orange County?
It depends on the size and complexity of your yard. The good news is that when you build your landscape with us, the full cost of your design is refunded from the cost of your project, so the design essentially pays for itself. We give you a clear price up front.
What does your landscape design process look like?
It starts with a professional designer visiting your property to take measurements and talk through your ideas and needs. At a second meeting we present your yard in 3D and make most changes live. After revisions, you receive images of the design, a 2D plan, and approximate measurements. Your project manager also helps with the options, your city's codes, and the cost of each choice.
Is the design really free?
Your design has a fee, and it is fully refunded from the cost of your project when you build your landscape with us. So if you move forward with the build, the design costs you nothing.
Do you handle permits and engineering?
Yes. We take care of the permits and any engineering your project needs, and we make sure the design meets your city's codes before we build.
Do you build the landscape too, or just design it?
Both. One team designs, permits, engineers if needed, and builds your landscape. You get one point of contact from the first sketch to the finished yard.
Can I make changes to the design?
Absolutely. During the 3D presentation your designer can make most changes live, right in front of you, so you can adjust the layout, materials, and features until it feels right.
What is the difference between a landscape designer and a landscape architect?
A landscape designer focuses on the look, layout, and function of your outdoor space, which is what most home projects need. A landscape architect is licensed for large scale and structural work. Our professional designers and project manager handle both the design and the technical planning for your yard.
Do you work with HOAs?
Yes. Many Orange County neighborhoods have an HOA approval process, and we have a lot of experience with them. We help prepare and submit the plans your HOA requires and work with you to get the design approved before we build.
