Our Front Yard Design Process
We offer multiple types of designs to help you visualize your yard’s transformation. From quick sketches and concept or construction plans to 3D renderings, our landscape architects have multiple tools to bring your landscaping design to life before it even starts. If you are a homeowner in the Bay Area, interested in working with our expert landscaping designers, reach out to us today.
First thing first. Start by meeting our team in person to go over design ideas, specs, dimensions and conduct a site analysis of your property. This allows us to observe and consider all aspects of the space together such as existing conditions, landscape construction, irrigation systems, architectural style, property access, demolition, irrigation systems, horticulture needs, lawn care requirements, existing utilities and topography.
Together we’ll refine the design cost and provide an exact figure based on evaluation and design considerations.
Cost: Free
From there we can expand on and revise the initial design consideration, key elements and attributes as needed.
Using the compiled information from the initial consultation and site analysis, our designers will generate a concept plan and/or 3D rendering — a visual representation of the end goal of the project.
Cost: Starting at: $1,000
Our HOA plan includes:
- Scaled design with callouts, dimensions and measurements
- Plan revisions such as slight adjustments to scope or rounding corners
At Sequoia Outdoor, we offer the best customer service and craftsmanship, outstanding finished product…you will not be disappointed!
Cost: Starting at: $1,000
In some cases, a concept plan is not enough to grasp the ideas of the completed project. This is where 3D renderings come into play. Our 3D renderings include:
- Viewpoints
- Revisions to the plan, like rounding corners or slight adjustments to the scope
Our 3D+ plan also allows you to experience night scenes, flythrough videos and much more.
Cost: Starting at: $1,000
A site evaluation of your project’s needs is used to create a custom design package with exact quotes. While typically used for outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas and water features, design packages can be used for outdoor living enhancements.
Cost: Varies by project
Each package comes with a set of basic revisions, which typically entail small modifications like rounding corners or minor adjustments to scope.
Additional revisions will be charged at an hourly rate of $100/hour.
Cost: $100/hour
What Our Clients Love About Us
Front Yard Landscaping FAQs
The timeline depends on your project’s scope. Simple updates take 2-3 weeks, while complete transformations can take 2-4 months. Our team provides detailed schedules and keeps you updated throughout the process.
Premium hardscapes, sophisticated lighting, and mature specimen plantings offer the highest return on investment. Our designers can help you select distinctive features that enhance your property’s value while creating a stunning first impression.
Start with a strong focal point like a custom water feature or statement garden. Layer your design with premium materials, architectural lighting, and distinctive plantings. Our landscape architects will create a cohesive plan that ensures every element complements your home’s architecture.
It’s not recommended to lay pavers down on top of dirt. Instead a Class II Road Base (sub base) should be laid down under pavers. For vehicular areas we recommend six inches of compacted sub base and four inches for the pedestrian areas. One inch of bedding sand should then be laid down over the sub base.
Consider your home’s architecture, desired maintenance level, and how you want to welcome guests. Our design team works with you to select materials and features that create a sophisticated entrance while meeting your practical needs.
Regular maintenance keeps your landscape looking pristine. We recommend:
- Seasonal pruning and plant care
- Monthly lighting system checks
- Quarterly hardscape cleaning and inspection
- Bi-annual irrigation system maintenance
- Regular water feature servicing
