Experienced Designers Listen to You
An amazing landscape begins with a vision. The landscape designers at Alterra Landscape Design can offer you creative suggestions, but the design of your Plano, Texas landscape is really based on your own tastes, preferences, and lifestyle. We expertly craft each landscape to reflect your needs and wants. Every element is designed for you and your family. Our designers create a plan, and then welcome your suggestions or changes that will make it even better. We want your landscape to be your ideal natural oasis, not a generic landscape that follows a certain formula. Our style of landscaping is very personalized and distinctive.
Each phase of our landscaping process is collaborative, and the design phase is no different. Our team transforms your ideas into an innovative design. We create detailed drawings and specifications to define the scope of your project (renderings, animation and modeling are also avalaible). All these design materials are presented to you at a design meeting where you will get a chance to work with us, express your opinions, and suggest changes.
We believe landscaping is a personal expression, which is why we are committed to designing a space that you will enjoy for years to come. The way a landscape matures and changes over time is always on our minds as we create our designs. Finding sustainable solutions to keep your property healthy and safe is also important to us. Trust the Alterra Landscape Design team to meet your needs, stay within your budget, and come up with extraordinary designs that speak to your heart.

Our Refined Design-Build Process, From Exploration to Execution
From the very first step, we're interested in you. That's why we begin with the word "Explore." If we are the right landscaping company for you, and you decide to continue with our services, "Design" and "Build" will be amazing experiences for you and your family!
Visit our Process Page to learn more about what to expect in working with Alterra Landscape Design.
We begin with an on-site visit and in-depth conversation to understand your goals, lifestyle, and how you want to use your space. We assess site conditions, review the Design/Build Agreement, and explore your style using tools like a shared Pinterest board. From there, we’ll create early sketches that reflect your vision and start shaping your ideal landscape together.
Our landscape designers turn your ideas into detailed plans using 2D drawings, 3D models, and material samples. You’ll see how everything comes together and have opportunities to give input throughout. Your complete design package includes pricing, materials, and timeline details, with trusted partners lined up for installation. Once approved, we handle permits and HOA paperwork to keep things seamless.
The same Principal who guided you through design will oversee the build. Daily check-ins keep you informed, and you’ll be involved in key decisions like tree placement and material choices. We keep a clean site, stick to schedule, and communicate clearly from start to finish. Your space is built with craftsmanship, care, and a focus on long-term durability.
