Our Process

Longevity. It means more than quality materials and master craftsmanship. It’s a foundational value that suffuses everything we do and drives our every decision. It’s evident in how we approach relationships, in the quality of our craftsmanship and materials, in the benefits we offer our team members, and in the exceptional clients and projects we choose to take on.

From that foundation, we have established a time-tested process for bringing our clients’ outdoor-living dreams to life. Because we believe the journey to your best outdoor space is more enjoyable to travel when it’s well mapped, efficiently executed, and embarked upon with an expert guide who is laser focused on the destination of your dreams.

Step 1: Design

Design is about you—who you are and how you want to live. So that’s where we begin.

Our award-winning designers work with your dreams and the opportunities afforded by your property to embark on a collaborative planning process. So the tailored design concepts we present reflect your lifestyle and your vision.

Beyond clear, custom layouts that will delight your eyes, our designers also consider practical factors from the outset, such as proper irrigation, lighting, appliance selection, etc. The goal is not only to help you visualize the final outcome, but also to begin defining the full scope of the project.

And all the while, we encourage you to dream big. Because the bigger your dreams, the more options we have to make them come true.

Details Matter

The more we learn about you, the better we can design and build an outdoor space that supports your lifestyle. This is where it’s key to ask good questions and to truly care about your vision. Some examples:

  • How do you relax at the end of a long week?
  • Do you like to be outdoors year-round, or just in particular seasons?
  • Do you have children or grandchildren?
  • Do you love to cook, grill, or make wood-fired pizzas?
  • Does your family enjoy playing in a pool or relaxing in a hot tub?

Step 2: Plan

At the planning stage, we get specific about how your vision will come to life.

With our commitment to quality and client education, our expertise in the Northern Virginia climate, and our belief in the value of sustainability, we bring incredible insight to the table. But you have enormous flexibility in the selection of plants, hardscape materials, and installations.

Want to try something adventurous? We have your back. And we will always provide candid advice regarding viability and cost. 

Quality

With all the noise out there, it can be challenging for homeowners to determine what quality looks like and why it’s so valuable. That’s why we take time before the build to educate you on how your material and installation choices will impact your investment over time.

From beginning to end, we’re committed not only to the highest caliber of design and installation, but to ensuring you understand the value of that level of quality. Before your build begins, we’ll walkthrough our approach to craftsmanship, recommended materials, set expectations for ongoing care and lifespan, and more.

Critical factors impact the longevity of your outdoor space, as well as your enjoyment of it:

  • Expert planning that works with your existing space
  • Proven craftsmanship to enhance visual appeal and longevity
  • Appropriate plant choices for both the environment and your planned use
  • Quality materials hand-selected to ensure fit and durability

Step 3: Build

After we’ve helped you envision and plan the outdoor space of your dreams, we build to ensure it’s around for a lifetime of more dreams coming true.

But the most remarkable part of our build process is how little there is to remark on.

Done right, the construction of a a luxury outdoor space should have minimal impact on the lives of our clients and their neighbors. So our highly skilled craftspeople work quickly and execute plans with precision. And we commit to keeping your property looking sharp throughout the process.

Peaceful build, spectacular finished product.

Step 4: Maintain
