Landscape design pricing varies depending on project size, complexity, site conditions, and desired features. Most design plans range from a few hundred dollars for simple concepts to several thousand dollars for full-property designs that include materials selection, outdoor living elements, grading analysis, and construction planning. Your Dream Meeting helps us understand your goals so we can provide an accurate proposal.

A Dream Meeting includes a walkthrough of your property, discussion of your goals, evaluation of site challenges, and documentation of measurements, slopes, drainage, shade, and structures. This collaborative conversation shapes your design direction and ensures our recommendations align with your vision.

Most landscape designs are completed within two to four weeks depending on complexity, revisions, and material selection. Larger outdoor living projects may require additional time for detailed drawings.

Your project manager will coordinate the crew, equipment, materials, and scheduling. We handle grading, drainage evaluation, hardscaping, planting, and finishing details. Because we stock many materials in our own nursery and warehouse, your project moves smoothly and efficiently.

Plant selection is based on sunlight exposure, soil characteristics, moisture levels, maintenance preferences, and the long-term aesthetic you want to achieve. Mt. Lebanon’s dense shade and clay soils require careful selection to ensure survival and proper growth. Our arborists create plant palettes that thrive in Pittsburgh’s climate.

Drainage concerns are common in Mt. Lebanon and Pittsburgh due to clay soils and sloped lots. If we identify drainage challenges during your Dream Meeting, we integrate drainage solutions into your design before installation. This may include swales, downspout redirection, grading adjustments, or subsurface systems.

Mt. Lebanon and many Pittsburgh neighborhoods include steep slopes or narrow access points. Our design and construction teams have the equipment and experience needed to safely and effectively work on challenging sites. Design plans will account for grade changes, structural support, retaining walls, and drainage management.
