What You Get With Our Landscape Design Service
Design is where smart projects are won or lost. A patio that holds water, a walkway that feels cramped, or a bed that’s hard to maintain often comes from skipping the planning stage. Our landscape design service provides detailed 3D modeling, renderings, and video fly-throughs so you can see the full layout before any construction begins.
Design work can support many types of projects, including:
- Residential landscape design for plantings, beds, and layout
- Backyard design for outdoor living and entertaining
- Patios and hardscapes like seating areas and paths
- Hardscape paver design for paver patios and walkways
- Concrete hardscapes and other hardscape projects
Unlike some design-only firms, our designer has real-world installation experience.
That matters because site challenges can be handled during design, not during construction:
- Drainage planning to reduce pooling and washouts
- Grading concepts so the space looks right and performs well
- Access and layout planning so crews can build it correctly
Design services typically range from $1,000–$3,000 and are most available from late fall through early spring. Design does not obligate either party to proceed with installation.
CMHA Certified Installers
Exceptional design starts with knowing what’s possible. At Elegant Estates, our design process is built on decades of hands-on installation experience—giving us a deep understanding of real-world site conditions, drainage challenges, and construction limitations that many designers simply don’t have.
As a CMHA-certified contractor in Interlocking Concrete Pavement (ICP) and Segmental Retaining Walls (SRW), combined with formal collegiate training in landscape design and construction, we bring both technical knowledge and practical expertise to every plan. The result is a design that isn’t just visually compelling—but fully feasible, efficient, and ready to be built with confidence.
