Our Refined Design-Build Process, From Exploration to Execution
Creativity is at the heart of our landscaping services. Each project is thoughtfully crafted to reflect your personal design style, desired outdoor experience, and vision for relaxation and entertainment. Through our three-step Explore+Design+Build process, we create unique, custom landscapes tailored to you. At every stage, our goal is to bring you joy, endless possibilities, and a design that feels both luxurious and personal.
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.
That Improve Daily Use of Your Property
Effective landscape design balances appearance with usability. Our designs include features that support comfort, movement, and lasting value across your outdoor space.
Landscape design projects often include:
- Plantings such as trees, shrubs, and greenery that add structure and seasonal interest
- Natural stone elements like river rock or boulders to define edges and create visual rhythm
- Mulch placed strategically to support plant health and maintain a clean appearance
- Natural grass or premium artificial turf for durable, usable green areas
- Patios designed to complement the home and encourage outdoor gathering
- Lighting that improves visibility and creates a welcoming atmosphere after dark
- Outdoor living areas designed for relaxing, entertaining, or family time
- Pools, spas, or water features that add movement and visual focus
- Irrigation systems planned for efficiency and long term sustainability
- Privacy solutions that create separation and a sense of intimacy
- Improved transitions between spaces to support easy movement
- A design style that reflects your household and how you enjoy being outdoors
These elements work together to create a landscape that feels intentional, practical, and enjoyable to spend time in.

A thoughtfully designed landscape changes how you experience your property. It improves visual appeal while making outdoor areas easier and more enjoyable to use.
