Design
Services.
We visit your property, map every sun zone, prescribe the exact plants for each area, and deliver a full layout design — so you know precisely where every plant will live.
Plants don't fail.Wrong placement does.
Most landscaping mistakes happen before a single plant goes in the ground. The wrong plant in the wrong spot — too much sun, too much shade, wrong soil, wrong drainage — and even the most beautiful specimen will struggle.
Our design service exists to eliminate that problem entirely. We don't just sell you plants — we study your property, map your conditions, and prescribe exactly what belongs where. Then we put it all on paper so you have a real plan to work from.
Whether you already have landscaping and just want to add plants, or you're starting fresh — this process ensures every plant we recommend will thrive in its exact location.
We Come to You
It starts with a scheduled visit to your property — not a phone call, not a showroom meeting. We walk your land with you, listen to what you love and what frustrates you, and begin seeing your space the way a designer sees it.
We study your existing landscaping, your architecture, your lifestyle. This isn't a sales visit — it's a discovery session.
Reading Your Land
We map every zone of your property — where the morning sun hits, where afternoon shade falls, where drainage pools, where wind channels through. This is the science behind the beauty.
A shaded north-facing bed calls for Boxwood or Texas Privet. A sun-drenched south wall is perfect for Indian Laurel or Confetti Lantana. We don't guess — we know.
The Right Plant, The Right Place
Based on your site analysis, we prescribe the exact plants for each zone. Not just what looks good — what will thrive, perform, and look stunning for years. Every recommendation is specific to your conditions.
We'll tell you: this corner gets 4 hours of morning sun — Indian Hawthorn or Dwarf Pittosporum will be perfect here. That back wall gets full afternoon blast — Bougainvillea or Leucophyllum will love it.
Your Layout, Rendered
We create a full planting layout — a visual design document showing exactly where each plant goes, how it will grow, and how the finished landscape will look. You'll see your property transformed on paper before a single plant is moved.
This isn't a rough sketch. It's a professional design you can hold, reference, and use — whether you install it yourself or have us do it.
We Plant It Perfectly
If you choose installation, we execute the design with surgical precision — because we created it. Every plant goes exactly where the design says. No interpretation, no improvisation. Just flawless execution.
The design we created becomes the installation blueprint. Our team follows it plant by plant, bed by bed, until your landscape looks exactly like the vision we built together.
Every Zone.The Perfect Plant.
We map your property into sun zones and match each zone with plants that will genuinely thrive — not just survive. Here's how we think about it.
Deep Shade
North-facing beds, under dense canopy, shaded by structures
Partial Shade
East-facing beds, dappled light under trees, morning sun only
Partial Sun
West-facing beds, filtered afternoon light, transitional zones
Full Sun
South-facing walls, open sky exposure, reflected heat zones
“This area gets shade — what goes here?”
We hear this constantly. The answer depends on how much shade, what time of day, and what the soil is doing. A north-facing bed under a live oak is completely different from a west-facing bed that gets afternoon shade from a wall.
