Our Landscape 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!

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

Landscape FAQs
While paving stones and concrete slabs both have their pros and cons, paving stones are significantly more durable.The movement of the earth significantly impacts the longevity of concrete slabs as they’re prone to cracking and splitting if the ground beneath shifts. However, paving stones are four times as strong as a typical concrete slab, meaning they can handle more weight before cracking. Additionally, paving stones are also slip-resistant, easy and affordable to repair, increasing the resale value of a home.
Installing paving stone requires a lot more preparation than laying concrete. Therefore, it’s a more labor intensive installation. With a crew of four to five people, a 1,000 sq. ft. project will take roughly five days to complete. Additionally, pavers are ready to use once the installation is completed since there is no curing time like with concrete.
Your investment in a paver installation is based on square footage, materials, operations, labor, overhead, and company costs. On average your investment will be around $26,000 to install 1,000 sqft of pavers or about $26/sqft. For projects using higher-end materials, your investment will be around $30,000 or more. Let us know what your project will entail and get a free pricing quote!
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.
Known as an overlay, concrete pavers can be installed over existing poured concrete slabs if they’re in relatively good condition and with proper installation. However, while it can be an affordable option for many homeowners, it’s not recommended, especially for high traffic areas or those that experience a lot of weight like driveways. Because a concrete slab underneath doesn’t allow for any give, pavers are more likely to rock or crack when installed on top.
Pavers generally last 50-100 years or longer. Sequoia Outdoor paving stones come with a manufacturers’ lifetime guarantee against breaking and cracking as well as the option for a two-year labor and installation warranty.
