Do I need a landscape architect for my backyard remodel?

Usually not. Architects focus on large-scale or highly technical projects. For most homes, a landscape designer can create everything you need — from patios and firepits to planting and outdoor kitchens — at a more accessible price.

How long does the backyard remodel process take?

Most projects move through three phases: design (2–6 weeks), bidding and permits (2–4 weeks), and construction (2–12+ weeks depending on scope). We’ll give you a clear timeline up front so there are no surprises.

What does the consultation involve and how do I prepare?

A consultation is a walk-through of your space where we talk about your vision, needs, and budget. To prepare, gather any inspiration images and note your must-haves and nice-to-haves. Photos or measurements are helpful but not required.

Do you offer 3D renderings or visuals?

Yes. We provide 2D plans and 3D renderings so you can see your design before it’s built. This makes it easier to visualize and ensures contractors can bid accurately.

Can you work with existing elements in my yard?

Yes. If you’d like to keep mature trees, patios, or other features, we’ll design around them. We’ll also give honest feedback about what’s worth keeping and what may not serve your space long-term.

How do you approach water-wise or drought-tolerant design?

We focus on climate-appropriate plants, efficient irrigation, and rebate-friendly solutions. Our designs often include California natives, Mediterranean species, and succulents for a sustainable, low-water landscape.

Can I get a rebate for replacing my lawn?

It’s possible! Many Southern California water agencies offer rebates for replacing grass with drought-tolerant landscaping. We can help you design a plan that qualifies for programs like the Metropolitan Water District’s turf replacement rebate, making your remodel more affordable.

Do you handle plant sourcing and installation?

We don’t install, but we do offer Plant Project Management. That means we source plants from trusted nurseries, coordinate delivery, and oversee placement so the contractor installs everything according to plan.

How much does a backyard remodel cost?

Costs vary depending on size, materials, and features. A simple refresh might be $10K–$25K, while full outdoor living spaces with kitchens or pools can reach $80K–$200K+. Read our blog on landscaping costs for a detailed breakdown.

What is your payment structure or how do I pay for design?

For design services, we collect 100% up front. For project management, we collect 50% up front and the balance at completion. Payments can be made by bank transfer, check, or credit card.

Do you offer project management services?

Yes. We can manage your project from plant sourcing to contractor coordination, ensuring the design is installed correctly and efficiently. This service keeps your project on track and your vision intact.
