What Happens During Exterior & Landscaping?

During an exterior and landscaping project, our team follows a structured, client-focused process to ensure clarity, quality, and lasting results. Start-to-finish, you can expect a transparent timeline, open communication, and meticulous attention to site conditions, material selection, and seasonal considerations. Here’s a concise overview of the typical stages:

Initial consultation and site assessment to capture goals, budget, drainage, soil quality, and climate relevance.
Design alignment with your vision, including material options for durability and beauty.
Permitting and coordination as needed, followed by precise construction planning.
Hardscape execution (stonework, walkways, driveways, patios) with proper drainage and level installations.
Softscape installation (plants, mulch, irrigation planning) and finishing touches (lighting, sealing, protective measures).

Design & Planning Process

1. Initial Consultation & Site Assessment

We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your goals, budget, and the unique conditions of your property. Our experts assess drainage, soil quality, existing structures, and regional climate to craft a tailored plan that maximizes curb appeal and durability. This phase results in a clear scope, timeline, and transparent pricing.
2. Design & Material Selection

Using your preferences and our design expertise, we present concept layouts and material options—stonework, pavers, concrete, gravel, plants, and finishing details. We emphasize aesthetics harmonizing with local architecture while prioritizing longevity and low maintenance for seasonal changes.
3. Construction & Hardscape Installation

This phase covers excavation, grading, drainage adjustments, and the installation of hardscapes such as walkways, driveways, patios, and retaining features. We employ precise workmanship to ensure level surfaces, proper drainage, and long-lasting performance in diverse weather.
4. Softscape & Finishing Touches

Planting trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and seasonal planters is paired with irrigation planning, lighting, and protective sealing where appropriate. The result is a cohesive outdoor environment that enhances beauty while requiring manageable maintenance.
5. Quality Assurance, Clean-Up & Handover

We conduct a final walkthrough, clean the site, and provide maintenance recommendations to ensure you enjoy the transformation for years.

Design & Planning Process

At this stage, initial ideas are developed based on the client’s needs and site conditions. Architects and engineers create rough sketches and conceptual plans to visualize the project. Feasibility studies are conducted to evaluate technical, economic, and regulatory constraints, ensuring the project is viable before moving forward.

Once the concept is approved, detailed drawings, specifications, and technical documents are prepared. This includes precise measurements, material selections, and construction methods. These detailed plans serve as a blueprint for the construction process, ensuring that all aspects are clearly defined and compliant with regulations.

The final phase involves scheduling the project timeline, preparing an accurate budget, and obtaining necessary permits from authorities. Proper planning ensures smooth coordination during construction, while permits and approvals are essential for legal compliance. This stage sets the foundation for efficient execution and helps avoid delays.
