Our process is the same for every client, no matter where you live or what your budget is.
First, we talk inspiration, your design style, and how you envision using your future yard. We also map and measure your outdoor space so we can create a 3D design for your yard.
Next, we get to work designing your new yard. After we’ve created the first concept, we will have a live video conference call with you and do a screen share to walk you through your design and get your feedback.
Once we finalize the design concepts for your yard, our team will create detailed plans for construction so your new yard can be built as we designed it.
From creating a CAD file with all the dimensions, to selecting all the materials, planting, lighting, furniture, pool interiors, etc, our plans can range to cover some or all of these depending on what your contractor needs to bring the design to life.
We make the handoff seamless and easy from our design team to your build team. We’ll send your concept documents to you and your contractor so they can start building your new private resort design.
The timeline for your project can vary depending on several factors, but here’s an idea of what to expect:
During this time, we kick things off and figure out your needs, design style, and budget.
Take a virtual tour of your new yard, discuss revisions, and get connected with our “Preferred Partners”.
Get finalized plans so your contractor can get started on the permitting process.
Dive into your new pool, host parties, make memories, and finally enjoy the outdoor space you’ve always wanted.

Not necessarily. Our design will cover the areas that you specify you need help with. Our cost is based on the areas we are designing; i.e. just designing your backyard is less costly than doing both the front and back.
Our concept documents include a dimension plan of the designed space, scaled elevations with dimensions, and material callouts.
We do NOT include engineering drawings or specifications for our work and encourage our clients to work with their contractor to provide the engineering drawings as they will be familiar with your local city codes.
Yes! When choosing materials, we always take into consideration your home’s location and what makes sense for your exterior. This includes thinking about how materials will hold up to your climate, what kind of maintenance will be required, and more. We create all our designs with longevity in mind and want you to be able to enjoy your exterior for many years after your project is completed.
No matter where you are located, we do our due diligence to make sure that the materials in your design are available in your area. Should materials not be available at the time of construction, we will work with you to suggest alternative materials that are available.
No need! Because we design for clients all over the world, our work is set up to be completely remote. If you do happen to be in either LA, or Orange County, CA then we can schedule one of our designers to come out for a site visit once the design contract has been signed.
There is a possibility that you may not like our initial concept, however we typically include 3 revisions in the design fee so that we can work to adjust the design to your taste based on your feedback. We are not happy until we know that you love your new exterior design.
If the HOA or city has corrections, we will continue to work with you to adjust the design or suggest changes to meet the requirements requested.
If you have a contractor and/or team you know and trust, you can absolutely choose them to build your yard instead of selecting one of our recommended partners.
We make the handoff process seamless and make sure your contractor has everything they need to build your design.
Absolutely! Safety is very important to us and we can work with you to incorporate options that ensure sure your pool or other features are properly protected.
