Landscape Installation
Built with intention, managed with expertise
Moving from design to construction is where landscape projects either come together or begin to unravel. Our Landscape Installation services protect the vision you’ve invested in, translating thoughtful design into an enduring landscape. With nearly two decades of construction management experience, we bring structure, clarity, and accountability whether delivering fully integrated design-build projects or supporting clients working with their preferred contractor.
You’ll benefit from clear leadership throughout construction, while builders and contractors rely on our plant expertise and field experience for complex installations. From first mobilization to final walkthrough, we focus on informed decision-making, open communication, and disciplined oversight—ensuring your landscape is beautifully designed, thoughtfully executed, and built to last.

Design-build services may include:

Landscape Project Management
Available to our Landscape Design clients working with a preferred contractor
Some clients choose to retain their own contractor while seeking professional oversight to ensure the design is implemented as intended. For these situations, we offer construction and landscape project management as a continuation of our design services.
This role is focused on preserving design integrity, supporting informed decisions in the field, and maintaining alignment between drawings, budget, and schedule as real-world conditions evolve.
Project Management support may include:
- Preconstruction services, including gathering apples-to-apples bid comparisons or validating a bid against the drawings and specifications
- Construction kick-off meetings to align all parties on scope, drawings, and sequencing
- Field-based problem solving for unforeseen conditions and constructability challenges
- Value engineering and material re-selection to manage cost and timeline, without compromising design
- Weekly site visits, progress documentation, and responsive design guidance
- Ongoing coordination between client, contractor, and consultants
The Result
Clients Experience:
- A landscape built to design intent, even when thoughtful adjustments are required in the field
- Better decisions during construction, supported by expert, real-time guidance
- Controlled budgets and schedules, with issues addressed before they escalate
- A collaborative, transparent process where expectations are clear and progress is visible
- Confidence in the finished landscape, knowing the original vision has been refined, not compromised, by the realities of construction
FAQ
Do I need a landscape designer, or can I work directly with a contractor?
Many clients come to us after realizing that working with a contractor alone can leave important decisions unresolved. A landscape designer helps clarify priorities, align the design with your budget and timeline, and ensure the finished landscape reflects your vision – not just a series of off-the-shelf installations. Starting with design often leads to smoother construction, fewer surprises, and a more beautiful end result.
How much does it cost to hire a landscape designer?
While we don’t offer one-size-fits-all pricing, our design services are best suited to clients planning thoughtful, comprehensive landscape investments rather than quick fixes or piecemeal solutions. Design-only engagements typically begin in the low thousands, while full design-build projects require a more substantial investment to support proper planning, materials, and installation.
An Exterior Consultation helps determine whether your scope and budget are well aligned before moving forward, giving you clarity around options, priorities and next steps.
How far ahead should I start the planning process?
Ideally, landscape design begins several months before construction, allowing ample time for design concept exploration, planning, permitting (when required), and coordination with architects, engineers, and builders. That said, we also work with clients on shorter timelines and can help determine what’s realistic based on your schedule.
Starting the conversation early simply provides more flexibility and clarity, making it easier to align expectations and move forward with confidence.
Can you work with my architect, builder or preferred contractor?
Yes! We regularly collaborate with architects, builders and landscape contractors. Clear documentation and communication are central to our process, helping all members of the project team work toward a shared vision with clarity.
Do you offer landscape installation, or design only?
We offer both. Many clients engage us for design only, others for project management during construction, and some for full turnkey landscape installation services. We’ll help you determine the most effective approach based on your goals, team, and level of involvement.
What if my project doesn’t fit neatly into one service?
That’s common. Not every project requires a full design or installation package. Our Custom Services are designed for nuanced situations: complex sites, phased projects or targeted expertise – while maintaining the same clarity and process-driven approach as our core services.
How do you handle budgets during the design and build process?
What happens if conditions change during construction?
Do you work on smaller projects, or only large landscapes?
Do you offer landsape design Seattle homeowners can implement in phases?
How do we get started?
The first step is a complimentary 15-minute right-fit phone call. From there, an Exterior Consultation is often the most effective way to gain clarity and determine next steps. Our goal is to make the process clear, approachable, and aligned with how you want to move forward.
