step 2

On-Site
Consultation

We walk your property, review site conditions, and discuss ideas, materials, and how you plan to use the space.

Step 3

Concept Development
& Idea Planning

Your vision is shaped into a clear concept. We explore layout options, planting ideas, structures, and overall flow so the design feels intentional and cohesive.

Step 4

2D & 3D
Renderings

Our designers create detailed plans and visual renderings that show scale, movement, textures, and how the space will come together before construction begins.

step 5

Proposal

You receive a detailed proposal outlining scope, recommended materials, and timelines. If you prefer to build in stages, we offer thoughtful phasing options.

Step 6

 Construction
Execution

Once approved, our team brings your design to life with precise workmanship, careful coordination, and steady communication from start to finish.

For Maintenance or Enhancements

Not every residential project requires design work. For lawn care, seasonal cleanups, irrigation, and small enhancements, we follow a streamlined field service workflow:

  • A site walkthrough

  • A clear 24-hour estimate

  • Scheduled service and follow-up

  • Ongoing care based on your property’s needs

This keeps day-to-day services efficient while larger design-build projects follow the full six-step process above.

Built for Consistency

Commercial Design Process


Across the Seattle metropolitan area, our commercial process supports efficiency, safety, and clear communication across every property.

Step 1

Site Review & Scope Discussion

We walk the property, evaluate site conditions, and review your goals. This includes safety considerations, traffic patterns, maintenance needs, and long-term priorities. The goal is alignment before work begins.

step 2

Concept Development & Planning

For enhancements or installation projects, we develop the concepts, drawings, or recommendations needed for internal approval. For maintenance-only portfolios, this step includes routing, scheduling, and coordination planning.

Step 3

Proposal & Service Alignment

You receive a clear proposal outlining services, schedules, materials, and reporting standards. For multi-site portfolios, we align SLAs, inspection cycles, and communication protocols across every location.

step 4

Implementation & Reporting

Our crews complete each service or project with steady communication and detailed documentation. Each visit includes check-ins, photos, and service logs so you always know what’s been completed.
