Why it matters
Great outdoor spaces start with a plan, not guesswork
Skipping design and jumping straight to installation is where most landscaping projects go wrong. You end up with mismatched materials, awkward layouts, and budgets that balloon mid-project. A real design phase catches all of that before it costs you anything.
Fewer surprises mid-project
Materials, layout, and budget are all locked in before installation starts, not decided on the fly.
A cohesive look, not a patchwork
Every element is planned together, so your hardscape, plantings, and lighting actually work as one design.
Built for how you'll actually use it
The plan reflects your goals first: entertaining, low maintenance, or privacy, not a one size fits all layout.
What's included
Every landscape design starts with a walkthrough of your property. We look at how you use it now, what's not working, and what you actually want it to do for you. Because the same crew that designs it also builds it, plans stay realistic instead of turning into a wish list that gets cut down once construction starts.
- Custom design plansLaid out around your property's actual layout, sun, and drainage. Not a generic template.
- Plant selection for Sonoma County's climateIncluding drought-tolerant and low-maintenance options where they make sense.
- Irrigation planningDesigned alongside the planting plan, not bolted on afterward.
- Hardscape integrationPatios, walkways, and retaining walls planned into the same design, since one crew builds all of it.
- A clear, itemized quoteBefore any work begins, so there are no surprises once the crew shows up.
Why choose us
What Sonoma County homeowners ask before hiring a landscaper
"Will the price change once work starts?"
You get a clear, itemized quote before any work begins, built from the actual design plan, not a rough estimate that grows once the crew shows up.
"Who's actually going to be in my yard?"
Licensed, insured, and 100% in-house. We don't hand your project off to subcontractors you've never met.
"Will the finished yard match what I approved?"
The same team that designs your project builds it, so nothing gets lost in translation between a designer and a separate install crew.
"How do I know you'll actually finish on time?"
15 years serving Sonoma County properties means realistic timelines set upfront, not vague promises that slip once the job is underway.
