Explore: Collaborative Brainstorming

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.

Design: Bringing Your Vision to Life

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.

Build: Flawless Execution & Lasting Beauty

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.

We Value Every Piece of Feedback from Our Clients and Local Community

Every landscaping project is a personal adventure, and we work hard to make sure every step of that journey is rewarding for each of our clients. Hearing their feedback about our processes and the landscape is important to us, and we reflect on every review to make our process stronger. See what your neighbors enjoy most about working with our team of designers, landscaping services contractors, and area specialists.

We couldn't be happier with the landscaping project for our backyard done by Alterra Design. Everything went so smoothly from the initial meeting and design to the project execution. The result is just what I envisioned, perhaps even better. Communication throughout the process was excellent, too.
