Create a plan to screen neighboring properties, roads, or other views with thoughtfully placed trees and shrubs. We consider the height and density you want, growing conditions, and the space plants will need as they mature.

Our Design Process
1) Understand Your Goals
We discuss what you want to change, how you use your property, your preferred style, and your budget. We also consider how much ongoing maintenance you want.
2) Evaluate Your Property
We assess the existing landscape, sunlight, available space, access, and changes in elevation. These conditions help guide plant selection and the placement of outdoor features.
3) Develop the Design Direction
We work through the layout, plant choices, and material options with you, refining the approach around your priorities. We can also discuss completing the landscape in phases.
4) Plan the Next Steps
Once the design direction is agreed upon, we discuss the scope and estimate for installation. Our landscape installation services can carry the project from planning through completion.
