Our process

From Possibility to Place.

Our Landscape Design-Build Process

Understand how your landscape project moves from an initial conversation to a considered design and finished installation. Our design-build process starts with the property, your priorities and the way you want to live outside. We explore the site, develop the design and coordinate the materials and construction details that bring it together. The steps below explain what to expect along the way and how your input helps shape the work. Whether you are considering planting, hardscapes or a more complete outdoor transformation, this is the place to get familiar with our approach.

Selected work

Designed as One Composition.

Every element of the landscape is designed to work together, creating a space that feels cohesive, natural, and connected to its surroundings.

01

Property Consultation

We meet at your property to discuss expectations, priorities, investment and scope of work. This consultation helps you and our team establish whether the project is a good fit before design begins.

  • Goals + priorities
  • Site opportunities
  • Existing conditions
  • Project fit
02

Concept & Scope

Solstice identifies the right level of design, defines the project components and prepares the path forward. A design fee may be proposed after consultation.

  • Design scope
  • Project components
  • Early material direction
  • Next-step proposal
03

Design & 2D / 3D Visualization

The design brings together outdoor living, circulation, masonry, drainage, steelwork, planting and lighting. 2D plans and 3D views help make spatial decisions with confidence. Design typically takes about a month, depending on project scale and our current workload.

  • Plans + layouts
  • 3D views
  • Material palette
  • Client review
04

Build Planning

With the design approved, scope, sequencing, pricing and installation timing are aligned before work begins.

  • Installation scope
  • Construction sequence
  • Schedule
  • Pre-build coordination
05

Installation

The team shapes grade, builds masonry and structures, installs systems and planting, and coordinates the details that turn the plan into a complete landscape.

  • Site work
  • Hardscape + structures
  • Lighting + drip
  • Planting + finish
06

Final Walkthrough

We review the completed landscape, discuss care and operation, and make sure the project is ready to be lived in.

  • Project review
  • System orientation
  • Plant-care guidance
  • Closeout

What helps us begin

A Few Details Make the First Conversation More Useful.

You do not need a finished plan. Photos, priorities and a realistic sense of investment are enough to start.

01

Your Property

Address, photos, plans and any known drainage, access or neighborhood constraints.

02

Your Life Outside

How you gather, cook, play, garden, relax and move through the space.

03

Your Priorities

The problems to solve, features that matter most and the character you are drawn to.

The first conversation is about fit, possibility and the right next step—not a one-size-fits-all package.

We are absolutely delighted by our entire experience—including the initial landscape design process, installation and communication throughout.
