Our design-build process helps turn your outdoor ideas into a thoughtfully planned and expertly constructed landscape. By combining creative landscape design with experienced construction teams, we’re able to guide projects from the first concept through the final installation.
Once a plan is in place, our team is prepared to build or renovate landscapes of all sizes throughout the Colorado Springs area—from intimate patios to complete outdoor living environments. Below are the steps that take your ideas from concept to a finished landscape.
The initial consultation is one of the most important steps in the process. It gives us the opportunity to meet you, understand your vision, and evaluate the unique conditions of your property.
During this visit, our landscape designer will walk your site, learn about your style preferences, and discuss your goals for the space so we can begin shaping a landscape that fits both your lifestyle and your property.
After the consultation, we’ll provide a design agreement outlining the scope of the design work along with the estimated cost for design and consultation. Once the agreement is approved, our team begins developing the landscape plan for your project.
Next, our team returns to your property to complete a detailed site analysis. We evaluate factors such as grading, drainage, sun exposure, and existing site features to ensure the design works naturally with your property.
Using the information gathered during the consultation and site survey, our designer begins developing a preliminary landscape plan. This concept layout organizes outdoor spaces, circulation, and key landscape elements into a cohesive design that reflects both your vision and the opportunities presented by your site.
Once the preliminary design is complete, we’ll schedule a plan review meeting. During this session, we walk through the design together, reviewing layout ideas, materials, plant selections, and other details.
Your feedback helps us refine the design and ensure it aligns with your goals. After the review, we’ll make any necessary adjustments and prepare the finalized landscape plan.
After the design is finalized, we prepare detailed pricing for installing the landscape plan. Costs are broken down by work areas so you can clearly see how different parts of the project contribute to the overall investment.
If adjustments are needed, we can explore cost-saving alternatives, design modifications, or phased construction options to help align the project with your budget.
Once the design and pricing are approved, we’ll prepare a formal proposal for the construction phase. After the agreement is signed, your project is placed into our construction schedule and we begin preparing for installation.
This stage is where the landscape design becomes reality. Our experienced construction crews handle all aspects of the installation process, bringing the design to life with careful attention to detail.
Your project will be installed by a dedicated crew led by an experienced foreman, ensuring consistent communication throughout construction. Because our design and construction teams work closely together, we’re able to make adjustments when needed while keeping the overall vision of the project intact.
At the completion of your project, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets expectations. We’ll review the finished landscape together, explain the operation of installed features, and provide guidance on care and maintenance.
You’ll also receive helpful resources and videos to support ongoing upkeep. And if questions come up later, our team is always just a phone call away.
