What do I get at the end of a landscape design process?

We use the newest state of the art computer-aided design (CAD) software that offers creative, colourful and full-scale specifications.

These plans are very easy to read and can be used by professionals to build your garden or you can DIY. A landscape design is like a floor plan for an outdoor area. Like a floor plan, a landscape design creates a visual representation of a site using scaled dimensions.

Landscape plans include natural elements such as shrubs, trees, and grasses, as well as man-made elements including turf, and hard scaping.
