The Big Picture — Without the Surprises
A full landscape renovation transforms your entire yard — and your home’s curb appeal, resale value, and daily enjoyment. But it’s also a construction project. Knowing what to expect helps you plan around the disruption and feel confident every step of the way. Here's what our clients experience when we take a yard from bare or broken… to beautiful.

Before we touch a shovel, we:
Walk the entire property and assess layout
Finalize design for patios, beds, turf, drainage, and any features
Review plant list, materials, and any phased work
Set clear expectations for budget and timeline
Confirm access points and staging areas for materials and equipment
Most projects begin within 1–4 weeks of deposit, depending on season and scope.
