Transforming a space into a beautiful, functional outdoor oasis takes more than just planting a few flowers or adding a decorative fountain. It’s a thoughtful, step-by-step process that blends creativity with practicality, ensuring your landscape reflects your style while thriving in its environment. At New Eco, we approach every project with a clear, structured design process that guides us from initial ideas to the final touches.
Whether you're looking to refresh your backyard, create a serene rooftop garden, or design an entire outdoor kitchen and living space, our proven method ensures that your vision becomes a reality. In this post, we’ll walk you through the key stages of our landscaping design process, so you can see how we turn dreams into landscapes that stand the test of time.
Initial On-Site Consultation & Design Survey
Meet with one of our New Eco associates for a complimentary consultation, where we’ll discuss your vision and ideas for your outdoor space. During this session, you'll also have the opportunity to complete a design survey to help us better understand your preferences, needs, and environmental goals, ensuring we create a landscape that is both beautiful and sustainable.
Landscape Design Package & Renderings
Most landscaping projects will require a comprehensive landscape design package. Typically, these packages include a variety of renderings, such as detailed overhead plans, as well as perspective views that showcase key areas within the garden. These renderings highlight important features, such as pathways, planting beds, and focal points. In addition, our design packages feature storyboards that offer a visual guide to your planting and materials selections, providing an inspiring preview of the colors, textures, and plant combinations that will define your space. We also include recommendations for furniture, fixtures, and other outdoor elements, along with a detailed budget breakdown, ensuring transparency and helping you plan accordingly.
Project Management & Construction
Our experienced team will oversee and manage every aspect of your project from start to finish, ensuring that the entire process runs smoothly and according to plan. Once your design is finalized, we’ll coordinate all necessary resources and materials, and handle the logistics to bring your vision to life. Typically, the construction phase takes between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the scope and complexity of the project. Throughout this time, we’ll keep you informed with regular updates, and our team will work efficiently to complete the job on schedule while maintaining the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Ongoing Maintenance & Care
We will also provide detailed care instructions to ensure that your new landscape thrives for years to come. Our instructions cover everything from proper plant care—such as watering, pruning, and seasonal maintenance—to the upkeep of hardscaping elements like patios, pathways, and outdoor structures. With clear guidance on how to maintain the health and beauty of both plants and hardscape features, you’ll feel confident in your ability to nurture and preserve your outdoor space. We’re also available to answer any questions you may have along the way, offering support to ensure your landscape remains vibrant and functional long after the project is complete.
