Landscape design preview

See your yard before we dig

Not sure what you want yet? Send us your property and we send back one or two custom design renderings, so you can see the finished yard before anything is built. Flat rate, credited toward a qualifying install.

These are real renderings we sent homeowners before work started. They are design previews, not finished builds.

Front yard design

A bare front yard, planned out

A real rendering we sent a Longview homeowner before any work started: curved foundation beds and plantings drawn onto their own house.

Backyard flagstone patio and fire pit

A bare backyard laid out as a flagstone patio with a built-in fire pit and seating area, so the homeowner could see it before any stone was ordered.

Beds and lighting

Front bed, lit up after dark

Layered plantings with pathway lights and uplighting on the foundation and trees, so you can see how the yard reads at night too.

Built for the homeowner who knows something needs to change

Most homeowners we meet start in the same place: "I know I want this yard to look better, but I don't know what I actually want." That's what the design preview is for. Point at the area you want covered, a front yard, a back yard, a single bed or the whole property, and we turn it into a plan you can react to.

Each preview includes one or two design directions fitted to your property, your sun and your East Texas soil: plant placements, bed shapes, hardscape ideas, and how it all reads from the curb and from inside the house.

  • One or two digital design renderings of your space
  • Plant and material list picked for East Texas
  • Bed layout, dimensions and edging spec
  • Patios, walls and paths sketched in
  • Suggested phasing if the budget is tight
  • One round of revisions
  • A direct path to a written build estimate

How it works

  1. Tell us about the space

    Send photos and rough dimensions, or have us walk it in person. Point at what you want covered.

  2. We sketch the concept

    Within a few business days you get one or two design directions with layouts, plant lists and hardscape elements.

  3. Review and revise

    Keep what you love, swap what you don't. One round of revisions is included.

  4. Quote and build

    The final design becomes the build plan, and the design fee is credited toward a qualifying install.

Three flat-rate packages

Each fee is credited toward your install if you book within 90 days and the install meets the package minimum.

Design preview 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 book the install within 90 days, the fee is credited toward the build when the install meets the package minimum. If you want to live with the design for a season first, that is 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 people land on something they love after the revision pass.

How long does it take?

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

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

Smaller jobs are usually a better fit for a free on-site walkthrough and a written estimate, with no preview needed. The preview shines on bigger projects: full front yards, back yards, pool surrounds or a whole property.

Do you serve outside Longview?

Yes. We work across East Texas, including White Oak, Kilgore, Lake Cherokee, Gladewater, Hallsville, Marshall, Tyler, Henderson, Gilmer, Big Sandy, Carthage and Nacogdoches.
