What Is Landscape Design — And Why It Matters
Landscape design is more than just planting flowers or laying down sod. It’s the blueprint for a beautiful, sustainable outdoor environment that works with your property — not against it.
A thoughtful design can:
Improve how your yard functions and flows
Solve issues like erosion, drainage, or poor sunlight
Enhance home value and appearance
Reduce long-term maintenance needs
Create usable outdoor living space
Without a clear plan, landscaping can lead to costly rework or underwhelming results. Our design process ensures your investment delivers lasting value.

Our Process: How We Design Your Landscape
Designing your outdoor space should be a creative and collaborative experience. Here’s how we guide you through the process:
Consultation & Site Visit
We meet with you on-site to learn about your goals, preferences, and any challenges you face (slopes, drainage, privacy, etc.).
Conceptual Layout & Planning
We create a preliminary layout with proposed features and plant groupings — balancing aesthetics, flow, and functionality.
Material & Plant Selection
We recommend plants suited to Dedham’s climate and your desired look, alongside any hardscape materials to match your style and budget.
Final Design & Installation Prep
Once you approve the design, we prep for installation — often handled by our in-house landscape construction crew.
Optional Maintenance Plan
After installation, we can keep your new landscape looking its best with seasonal maintenance and lawn care.
