Custom Landscape Design Services

Turning Your Dreams Into Reality

Lee’s Landscaping and Design is a custom design-build firm specializing in dramatic outdoor living spaces.

At Lee’s, we take our customers’ dreams (your dreams) and turn them into unique realities. Each project begins with our customer reviewing their project ideas, needs, and desires with our award-winning designers. With that dialogue and information, the designer envisions a setting for the project — great outdoor spaces, using stone, wood, plantings, and furnishings, to bring it to life.

From inventive design, we turn the project over to our craftsmen. These talented Lee’s team members build and contruct the project to exacting standards. Each finished setting showcases their artistry and
their pride-in-project. And, of course, our clients play the most important team role of all… they bring each and every exciting project to us and invite Lee’s to turn it into their own reality, their own personal space!

Creativity. Craftsmanship. Pride. Lee’s will deliver these to your project, every time. Call us today to schedule a no cost, no obligation, design consultation meeting.

Landscape Design Process

f you are considering anything from a new front entry plan to a full yard landscape, our design services will walk you through the entire process and give you a clear understanding of what you are paying for.

1 Initial Consultation

• Schedule On-Site Meeting – discuss problem areas (poor drainage, aggressive slope, shade, etc.), budget, materials (we provide pictures of previous work and picture samples of materials).
• Base Plan Measurements – measurements are taken of the specific project area, any existing features, and problem areas. Sun/shade locations are taken into account. Exposure-north/south/etc. Any information that will affect the project will be documented.
• Pictures – digital pictures are taken of the project site and surrounding areas.

2 Draft

• Computer Aided Drawing – will then be generated according to the project goals. Cad allows for precision measurements and quick turn around if changes are needed. The design will feature all plant material, hardscapes, and features (ponds, lighting, etc.) Discussed in the initial consultation. The design is rendered in color and scaled.
• Proposal - is also generated according to the design. All measurements / pricing for materials are taken directly from the design and laid out piece by piece.
• Plant List – pictures are generated so that all proposed plant material can easily be seen.

3 Design Consultation

• Another meeting is scheduled to go over the design. A copy of the scaled cad design is given to you as well as copies of the proposal and plant list pictures.
• The design is presented; all features are explained and discussed with you. The proposal is also presented and discussed in depth with you.
• Any further questions or changes are discussed and made.

4 Project Completion

• Once the design has been accepted and the contract signed, we begin scheduling and installation.
• We have our own crews of expert installers that carry your design from the page to real life. The designer is available to the install crew at all times during the installation process to discuss the project goals and make sure the design is carried out.
• Once installation is complete we do a final walk through and answer any questions you may have about your new landscape.
• We provide care sheets on your new plant material and can also give you a maintenance schedule if needed.
