Design & Build FAQs

Common questions about landscape design and construction.

How long does the design process typically take?

Initial consultation to approved final design usually takes 2–4 weeks depending on project complexity. Simple projects move faster. We work at your pace and ensure the design is perfect before construction begins.

What does a landscape design & build project cost?

Costs vary widely based on scope — a small garden redesign runs $3,000–$8,000, while complete yard transformations with hardscaping and outdoor kitchen reach $20,000–$50,000+. We provide itemized estimates after the site analysis and design phase.

What's included in your design service?

Site analysis, conceptual renderings, detailed construction drawings, plant selections, hardscape specifications, irrigation design, lighting design if requested, and unlimited revision rounds until approved. Construction drawings are ready for your contractor or we build it ourselves.

Do I need permits for my landscape project?

It depends on the scope. Most plantings and small patios don't need permits. Retaining walls over 4 feet, structures with electrical/gas, and major grading usually require permits. We identify permit needs during design and handle all applications as part of our service.

What design styles do you specialize in?

We design across all styles — contemporary, Mediterranean, Asian-inspired, cottage gardens, and more. Our approach is to blend your personal style with the property's natural characteristics and climate requirements. Every design is custom.
