Site Planning
See your finished landscape before construction begins. We map every slope, shadow, and sight line, then render it in 3D so there are zero surprises when the crew arrives.

The Process
Your property, fully understood before a stone is placed.
A great build starts with a great map. Before any design work begins, we walk your entire property, documenting elevation changes, drainage flow, sun and shade patterns, mature tree root zones, and utility locations. That field work informs every decision downstream. It's how we avoid the costly surprises that show up mid-construction on jobs that skipped this step.
From that foundation, we produce a full 3D site plan. You'll see your finished landscape, materials, plants, structures, and lighting, before any ground is broken. What you approve on paper is exactly what we build. No guesswork. No handoffs. The team that designs it builds it.
Our site planning process covers
5core dimensions
- §01
Full-Property Walkthrough
We survey every inch: slopes, drainage paths, sun and shade zones by season, existing trees, and underground utilities, all documented before a line is drawn.
- §02
Topographic Mapping
Elevation changes, grading requirements, and water flow patterns are recorded and mapped. This is how we catch drainage problems before they become your problem.
- §03
3D Visualization
A photo-realistic render of your finished landscape. Review your materials, plants, and structures in context, at your actual yard's scale, before any ground is broken.
- §04
Material & Plant Preview
See how your chosen pavers, stone, and plants look together in your actual space. Swap options, adjust combinations, and finalize selections before anything is ordered.
- §05
Phase Planning
For larger or multi-phase projects, we map a build sequence that keeps your property functional and livable throughout construction.
Two phases, one picture.
From your first walkthrough to your final plan, nothing gets missed.
Site analysis is field work, done by hand, on the ground. Every slope, shadow, drainage line, and root zone is documented before a designer touches the file.
Survey property slope, drainage patterns, and soil conditions on day one
Map sun exposure and shade zones from morning to afternoon, season to season
Locate utilities, mature root zones, and the structural givens that shape design
Every revision is included, until it's exactly right.
What you approve on screen is exactly what we build. The team that draws it builds it, same crew, no handoffs, no surprises.
Draft initial concept from your survey, lifestyle goals, and site constraints
Build a 3D model with accurate materials and plants rendered exactly in place
Revise until it’s right, then hand the build team the same approved plan
No guesswork. No surprises.
The Pacific Northwest doesn't forgive poor planning. A patio that ignores afternoon sun sits empty all summer. A yard without proper grading turns into a muddy mess every November. We plan precisely so you build once, and spend the next twenty years enjoying it, not fixing it.
