Connecting people to nature through thoughtful landscape design in Raleigh. Sensory-rich experiences, extending your lifestyle outdoors. Transform Your Most Important Space Targeted design solutions for specific areas of your property—from a serene entry garden to a functional backyard retreat Get Started THE FOCUSED DESIGN STUDY The Focused Design Study transforms specific areas of your property, creating dedicated spaces like patios, play areas, or gardens. This targeted approach allows you to enhance key areas without a full landscape redesign. PROCESS INITIAL CONSULTATION We begin with a site visit to get to know you and familiarize ourselves with the garden. This initial meeting and conversation forms the basis upon which the design proposals are made and is often referred to as the client brief. SITE VISIT AND MEASUREMENTS Site measurements, dimensions, and photographs provide a complete site analysis, essential for all design work. If you already have a measured site plan, that's even better! This analysis informs the creation of a base plan, the foundation for subsequent design development. CONCEPT DESIGN Based on the client brief, site analysis, and measurements, we'll develop initial garden concepts, presented through hand-drawn sketches and mood boards. These concepts, including a general layout plan and perspectives, serve as a working basis for defining the garden's layout and other key aspects. Approved concepts will then be compiled into a document to guide the final master plan development. FINAL MASTER PLAN Produced after the concept design has been agreed, these drawings develop the chosen concept layout into an overall masterplan. Material palettes, spatial arrangements and locations, as well as a planting palette with general character of the planting will be proposed. CONSTRUCTION PLANS (OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL SERVICE) Should you wish to move forward with construction, the next phase may involve developing construction plans. Depending on the complexity of the design, these plans may include measured layout plans, grading plans, and planting plans, all accompanied by detailed specifications for materials, products, and plantings, enabling accurate bidding and construction.
