A comprehensive landscape design provides a complete vision for your outdoor space. This service is ideal for new builds, large-scale renovations, or properties that need a cohesive plan before installation begins. By carefully considering how each element relates to the home, site conditions, and the way you want to live outdoors, the result is a landscape that feels intentional and balanced from the start.

Each design is tailored specifically to your property and typically includes:

• Site Analysis & Concept Development – evaluating sun exposure, drainage, views, circulation, and existing features to inform the design.

• Spatial Layout & Outdoor Living Planning – defining patios, gathering spaces, pathways, lawn areas, garden rooms, and transitions throughout the property.

• Planting Design – curated plant palettes selected for Boise’s climate, layered for texture, scale, seasonal interest, and long-term success.

• Hardscape & Material Direction – guidance on paving materials, retaining elements, edging, and structural features that integrate with the home’s architecture.

• Garden Structures & Features – incorporating elements such as fire features, water features, pergolas, or focal points when appropriate.

• Lighting & Landscape Details – recommendations for landscape lighting and finishing touches that enhance function and atmosphere.

• Build-Ready Design Plans – clear documentation that contractors can follow during installation to ensure the design is executed properly.

The goal is to create a clear roadmap for your landscape — one that removes guesswork during installation and results in an outdoor space that feels cohesive, functional, and timeless.

Sometimes a project doesn’t require a full master plan — it simply needs a trained eye and thoughtful guidance. The On-Site Garden Designer service provides collaborative, in-person design support to help refine and elevate your outdoor space.

During these sessions, we walk your property together, discuss your goals, and make informed design decisions on site. This allows us to work through details in real time, helping you feel confident about plant placement, layout adjustments, and finishing touches.

This service can include:

• Plant Placement & Garden Layout Guidance – determining where plants should go, how they should be layered, and how the garden should evolve over time.

• Plant Selection for Boise’s Climate – recommending plants that will thrive in the Treasure Valley while achieving the desired aesthetic and seasonal interest.

• Pottery, Containers & Garden Accents – guidance on selecting and placing pottery, sculpture, and garden art to create focal points and balance.

• Exterior Color & Material Suggestions – input on house paint colors, exterior finishes, or material choices that influence the landscape design.

• Nursery Visits & Plant Sourcing – accompanying clients to local nurseries to help select plants that align with the design vision.

• Outdoor Furniture & Styling Guidance – assistance selecting furniture, planters, and accessories that make outdoor spaces feel cohesive and livable.

This collaborative approach allows us to shape the landscape organically while ensuring each decision contributes to a cohesive and intentional outdoor environment.

Thoughtful landscape design deserves thoughtful implementation. Project Oversight ensures the vision developed during the design process is carried through during installation.

While contractors focus on construction and installation, this service keeps the design intent at the center of the project. By remaining involved during key phases of installation, we help clarify details, answer questions, and ensure the landscape is built in alignment with the original plan.

Project Oversight may include:

• Plan Review with Contractors – reviewing the design with installers to clarify layout, plant placement, and material details before work begins.

• Site Walk-Throughs During Installation – periodic visits to review progress, answer questions, and ensure the design is being interpreted correctly.

• Plant Placement Guidance – assisting with plant layout and spacing on-site to ensure the design reads naturally and develops as intended.

• Material & Detail Verification – confirming that selected materials and design elements align with the approved plans.

• Design Adjustments When Needed – making thoughtful refinements if site conditions or unforeseen circumstances require adjustments.

The goal is simple: to ensure that the landscape installed on site reflects the vision that was carefully designed on paper.
