◇ Planning Resources

Plan with clarity.

Before getting started, it helps to prepare for the journey ahead. These resources will guide you as you plan your Dallas–Fort Worth outdoor project — from first inspiration to final budget.

◇ Where to Begin

Four ways to get started.

◇ Before You Start

More than plants and a patio.

A little preparation up front makes the entire design process smoother. Gather these four things before your first meeting and your designer can move straight to the good part.

  1. 01

    Property Plat Analysis

    Obtain and dissect your property survey — the official delineation of your boundaries, easements, setbacks, and pertinent property restrictions.

  2. 02

    Architectural Documentation

    Collate any existing architectural blueprints of your residence. These documents are invaluable references for your designer.

  3. 03

    HOA Guidelines Review

    If your property falls under the purview of an HOA, meticulously examine its design regulations before you begin to plan.

  4. 04

    Reference Imagery

    Dedicate time to curate a collection of inspirational imagery showcasing outdoor projects that resonate with your preferences.

◇ What to Consider

The decisions that shape your space.

  • Site

    Discover Your Property

    Gather all documentation to review relevant easements and building-code constraints — and have your designer document the property's topography and grade map.

  • Scope

    Create a Complete Scope

    Planning starts with perspective. Decide which features to include, then identify every additional item required to build and run them properly.

  • Value

    Set Expectations

    A structured process led by a qualified designer creates lasting value. Decide what's essential, set a budget you're comfortable with, and design in phases if needed.

  • Style

    Discover Your Style

    The space should reflect your taste. Most homeowners don't know their style — or how to translate it outdoors. That's where a designer's eye earns its keep.

  • Timeline3–6 mo

    Timeline & Budget

    Allow time for conceptual planning, detailed scheduling, and construction itself. Most projects take roughly three to six months from first sketch to final walk-through.

  • Team

    Strategic Collaboration

    Approach planning with more than one perspective. Involving a spouse, friend, or family member adds valuable insight during the early stages.

◇ Project Questionnaire

A short questionnaire helps us understand your property and priorities before we meet. Have these ready and we’ll hit the ground running.

  • Your name and best contact number

  • The project address
  • A short description of your project and goals
  • Any reference imagery you've gathered

◇ Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

How long does a project take?
It depends on scope. A refined patio or fire feature can take a few weeks, while a full estate landscape runs a few months. After the design phase we give you a clear, realistic timeline before any work begins.
How does pricing work?
Every space is custom, so we build a transparent estimate around your scope, materials, site conditions, and features. There are no hidden costs — see our Pricing page for what shapes your investment.
Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?
Yes. We manage permits, HOA submissions, and scheduling for you — it's part of the concierge experience, so you don't have to chase paperwork.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Fort Worth and build across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, including Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, Grapevine, Flower Mound, Westlake, Aledo, and surrounding communities.
Are your designs sustainable?
Always. We plan site-specifically — working with your soil, light, and drainage rather than against them — and favor water-wise plantings and durable materials that age beautifully.
Do you stand behind your work?
We don't consider a project finished until it's right. You get a final walkthrough, seasonal care guidance, and a team that stands behind its craftsmanship.
