Things To Consider Prior To Your Design Consultation

Start from the ground up. Decide whether you would prefer decorative stone, hardwood mulch, or colored mulch as the ground cover media.

Selecting plant material. Research plants that you would like to have incorporated into your design. The same goes for knowing which plants you find undesirable. Use the Plant Finder tool on or other brand websites for your search.

Understanding hardscapes. Familiarize yourself with hardscaping materials and styles. The Unilock® website has beautiful examples to inspire you for your own project. You can even look at finished projects in your surrounding neighborhoods to help determine your own ideas, wants and needs.

Working Together With Your Landscape Designer

Meet your designer. Schedule a brief consultation with one of our talented designers. Bring with or email photos of the property, designating the areas of interest. Or if you prefer, you can request that your designer meet you at the property.
Develop a time line. Depending on the extensiveness of the design and the timing of the season, most designs take 1- 2 weeks to complete. Keep this in mind when planning ahead for the time line of the entire project and meeting your idea deadline.

The fun part! Your finished landscape design will be emailed to you and/or printed out for you to keep. We’ve found that many of our clients love this part of the process as we are equally excited to reveal the design.

Next steps. If you are looking for a professional landscape installation company, we can recommend them to you.

Why 3D Landscape Design Trumps Traditional Drawings

Traditional drawings of landscape designs in the past typically illustrated an aerial and sometimes obscure view of the homeowner’s property with abstract forms to define plant selection. Many designers and landscapers alike discovered a disconnect between these drawings and final product when it came to the expectations of the client.

The introduction of 3D landscape design has since surpassed the quality of flat drawings by broadening the visual scope. Not only can designers showcase their work with incredible foliage and flower detail, but can create it within a setting that replicates the owner’s home and landscape to near perfect scale. The ability to do this thus helps our clients to fully visualize what is to come.

Additionally, homeowners can even review seasonal previews to illustrate bloom cycles year round and watch a video “fly through” tour of their landscape. How cool is that?!
