    You’ll have a short conversation with your design expert to talk about your ideas, priorities, and budget. This helps us understand how you want to live outdoors and what’s most important to you.

  • On-Site Consultation

    We’ll visit your property—usually within a week—to walk the space together. During this visit, we’ll discuss how you want to use the area, materials you like, and how we can phase your project over time if needed. Before leaving, we’ll schedule your design proposal meeting.

    Your proposal includes a clear scope of work, design fees, and a preview of your vision—complete with concept sketches or photos of similar projects. Design fees typically range from 5–10% of your total budget. However, 50 to 100 percent of those fees can be credited toward your build, based on project size.

  • Design Phase

    Within a week of signing, your designer begins measurements and develops a scaled 2D or 3D plan. You’ll meet to review layouts and refine details like lighting, irrigation, plantings, and materials. After up to two revisions, you’ll receive your final design package with a fixed-price estimate and clear construction plan.

  • Build Agreement

    Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll finalize your agreement, collect your deposit, and schedule your project.

  • Construction

    Your Field Production Manager oversees every detail—coordinating materials, handling permits, and keeping you informed from start to finish. We maintain the highest standards of quality while minimizing disruption.

  • Final Walk-Through

    When the work is complete, your manager will walk the site with you to ensure everything meets expectations. You’ll see your vision fully realized and ready to enjoy.
