WHAT TO EXPECT
How Landscape Design Works
Design starts with understanding the site conditions and your priorities — not with drawing before we see the ground.
01
Site Walkthrough & Goals
We walk the property with you to understand what you want to improve — curb appeal, structure, privacy, or a specific area that is not working. Design starts with a clear picture of actual site conditions, not assumptions.
02
Plant & Material Selection
We talk through species, placement, and materials that fit your soil, light conditions, and maintenance expectations. You see actual plant options — decisions happen before anything is ordered.
03
Layout & Spacing Plan
Spacing and placement are planned for how plants will look in three to five years, not only on day one. Overcrowding is one of the most common problems in residential landscapes — we build growth room into the plan.
04
Scope Confirmation Before Install
Before any material is ordered or any digging starts, we confirm the full scope — what goes in, what comes out, what the project includes, and what it will cost. No surprises on installation day.
05
Installation & Final Review
We handle the full install and walk the finished property with you before leaving. If anything looks different than planned on-site, we adjust it — a walkthrough is part of every design project.

SERVICE OVERVIEW
Quick Answers
How to think about this service
Landscape design consultation is the planning-first route for homeowners who need clarity on layout, plant selection, and what should happen next before they commit to a larger install.
What's typically included
- Onsite consultation and walkthrough
- Discussion of goals, priorities, and what should stay or go
- Plant-selection guidance for shrubs, small trees, privacy screening, and bed structure
- Layout direction, rough phasing, and practical next-step recommendations
- A clearer handoff into planting installation or a larger renovation once the plan is ready
Simple vs larger scope
- Practical planning visit: onsite guidance focused on one area or one main question about what should change next.
- Standard consultation: multiple areas discussed together, with clearer direction on layout, what stays or goes, and how to approach the project.
- Larger design-led setup: a bigger property improvement conversation where more time is needed to shape the right scope before work begins.
What this page doesn't cover
This page does not own formal hardscape plans, engineered drawings, detailed architectural plan sets, or maintenance-reset work. It also should not read like a renovation estimate for work the homeowner has already decided to do.
When another service is the better fit
- Move to installs and renovations when the homeowner already knows the work they want done and is ready to scope execution.
- Move to planting installation when the main need is adding plants inside an existing bed rather than shaping the plan first.
- Move to seasonal maintenance when cleanup, pruning, or reset work needs to happen before deeper planning.
What does a design consultation include?
It includes onsite discussion of layout, plant choices, keep-remove-replace decisions, and what scope should happen next if the property moves into installation.
Do you create drawings or blueprints?
The approved page should stay clear that this is consultation-led planning, not a CAD or stamped-drawing service.
Is this only for homeowners who plan to hire Orlando's Landscaping for the install?
The page should frame the consultation as the clearest path into installation, but the core value is still planning clarity and a better next-step decision.
Can the consultation roll directly into installation?
Yes. That handoff is one of the main reasons this page exists, especially when the property is close to installation-ready but the scope still needs to be clarified.
When should someone book consultation versus go straight to renovation?
Book consultation when layout and plant decisions are still open. Go straight to renovation when the homeowner already knows the work they want done.
Still have questions? We're happy to walk through your project.
Need a plan before you lock in the work itself?
Request a design consultation to plan plant selection, layout, privacy screening, and the right next step for your property without overselling formal drawings or blueprint-style deliverables.
