Overview

Built for the homeowner who knows something needs to change — but isn't sure what.

Most homeowners we meet have the same starting line: "I know I want this yard to look better, but I don't know what I actually want." That's exactly what the design preview is for. You point at the area you want covered — front yard, back yard, a single bed, the pool surround, the whole property — and our crew turns it into a visual plan you can actually react to.

Each preview includes 1–2 unique design directions tailored to your property, your sun exposure, and your East Texas soil. You see plant placements, bed shapes, hardscape ideas, and how the whole thing reads from the curb and from inside the house — before a single shovel hits the ground. No more guessing what you'll get. No more committing to a build based on a verbal description.

How It Works

Four steps from "not sure" to "let's build it."

Tell Us About the Space

Send photos and rough dimensions of the area, or have us walk it in person. Point at what you want covered — we handle the measuring.

We Sketch the Concept

Within a few business days, you get 1–2 unique design directions — bed layouts, plant lists, hardscape elements, and a written description of each option.

Review & Revise

Pick what you love, swap what you don't. One round of revisions is included so we can dial in the final direction together.

Quote & Build

The final design becomes the build plan. The design fee credits toward your install — so if you book the build, the preview essentially pays for itself.

Why It's Worth It

Decisions made on a picture, not a pitch.

See It Before You Spend It

A landscape install is a big check to write blind. The preview lets you walk into the build knowing exactly what the finished yard looks like.

Compare Options Side by Side

Two design directions, same property — pick the one that fits how your family actually lives. Or mix elements from both.

Skip the Back-and-Forth

Visual designs end the "I think I want…" loop fast. Less guessing, fewer change orders, and a build that earns the bone the first time.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I have to commit to a build after the preview?

No. The preview is a standalone product. If you love the design and want to book the install, the design fee credits toward the build. If you want to take the design and live with it for a season first, that's fine too.

What if I don't like the designs?

One round of revisions is included so we can rework the direction with your feedback. Most clients land on something they love after the revision pass.

How long does it take?

Typical turnaround is 5–10 business days from the time we have your photos and dimensions. Larger or multi-zone properties can take a bit longer — we'll tell you up front.

Is the design fee credited if I book the install?

Yes. The full design fee is credited toward any landscape install booked within 90 days of the preview being delivered.

What if I only want a small area, like a single flower bed?

Smaller scopes are usually a better fit for a free on-site walk and a written estimate — no preview needed. The design preview shines on bigger projects: full front yards, back yards, pool surrounds, or full-property transformations.

Do you serve outside Longview?

We serve Gregg, Harrison, Smith, and Upshur Counties — Longview, White Oak, Kilgore, Hallsville, Marshall, Tyler, Gladewater, Henderson, Carthage, and Nacogdoches.
