Frequently asked questions

What happens during the landscape design process?

It runs in six steps: an initial consultation about your vision, lifestyle and budget; a site analysis of topography, drainage, sun exposure and soil; concept development with 3D renderings and material selections; design refinement with you; professional installation; and a final walkthrough with maintenance guidance. We guide you through each step, from concept to completion.

Will I see the design before anything is built?

Yes. We create detailed design concepts with 3D renderings, so you can see your new outdoor space before construction begins. The plans show the layout and material selections, and we work with you to refine the details until the design fits your vision and budget. Our team starts the installation once the design is right.

Can one design cover hardscape, planting, lighting and water features?

Yes. Our designs bring hardscaping, landscaping, lighting and water features together into one plan: patios, walkways, retaining and seat walls, outdoor kitchens and fire features, plant selections and garden layouts, lighting plans, and ponds, waterfalls or streams. Because our own team installs the design, the finished space looks and works as one.

We design outdoor spaces for homeowners in Pontiac, Fairbury, Forrest, Chatsworth, Chenoa, Gibson City and the surrounding Central Illinois communities, from our base in Forrest. To start a design project, call (815) 867-0751 or send your project details through the form on our contact page.
