LANDSCAPE DESIGN & PLANNING

Plan the Whole Backyard Before Construction Begins

A strong landscape plan brings the major elements together before construction starts. Earthworks can help coordinate patios, retaining walls, pools, planting and outdoor living spaces so the finished backyard feels intentional from the start.

DESIGN BEFORE YOU BUILD

What Landscape Design Helps You Plan

A good landscape plan helps organize the major elements of the backyard before construction starts. It gives you a clearer picture of how the space will function, how different areas connect and what should be built first.

✓ Pool and patio placement

✓ Retaining walls and grade changes

✓ Walkways and circulation

✓  Outdoor kitchens and structures

✓ Planting and garden areas

 

DESIGN THE BACKYARD AS ONE PROJECT

Bring the Pool, Patio, Gardens & Outdoor Living Together

The biggest advantage of planning the entire backyard before construction begins is coordination. Pool placement, patio size, grade changes, planting areas and outdoor living features all affect one another.

Earthworks can develop the landscape plan with construction in mind so the finished space feels cohesive and the major elements work together from the start.

✓ Pool and patio relationships

✓ Retaining walls and elevation changes

✓ Outdoor kitchens and structures

✓  Garden and planting areas

✓  Walkways and circulation

✓  Grading and drainage

✓  Future phases considered during planning

FROM DESIGN TO CONSTRUCTION

See the Backyard Before We Build It

3D landscape design can help you understand how the major elements of the backyard will look and work together before construction begins. For pool projects, the design also forms an important part of the permit process and helps coordinate the pool location, setbacks, grading and surrounding landscape construction.

Once the design is finalized, Earthworks can carry the project through construction so the plan and the finished backyard stay connected.

✓ Visualize the finished layout

✓ Review scale, spacing and proportions

✓ Coordinate materials and major features

✓  Refine the design before construction

✓ Move from planning into construction with one team

LANDSCAPE DESIGN FAQS

Questions About Landscape Design

Do I need a landscape design before construction starts?For larger landscape projects, a design helps organize the layout, elevations, circulation and major features before construction begins. All pool projects require a design as part of the permitting process, so the pool, patio, grading and surrounding backyard elements can be coordinated before construction starts.
Can you create a 3D design of my backyard?Yes. 3D landscape design can help you visualize the finished space and review the relationship between pools, patios, gardens, structures and other features before construction.
Can you design around an existing pool or patio?Yes. A landscape plan can incorporate existing features while improving the surrounding layout, circulation, planting and outdoor living areas.
Can the design include a future pool or outdoor kitchen?Yes. Even if some features are planned for a later phase, they can be considered in the initial design so future work fits with the overall backyard plan.
Do you build the project after the design is complete?Yes. Earthworks can carry the project from planning and design through landscape construction, helping keep the finished work aligned with the original plan.
