One vision for the whole yard.
Bring the pool, patio and landscape together before you ask contractors to price the work.
Why plan firstLANDOVA / HOW IT WORKS
One clear project.
Better decisions along the way.
Our six-stage backyard design and planning process connects your first ideas, 3D visualization and a defined scope for contractor proposals.
Concept layoutNot to scale
Your project. Your pace.
Start with a consultation. Approve each stage, then decide whether to continue. Pay for the next stage only when you’re ready—before that work begins. No obligation to complete every stage.
Six stages, in order. Each stage builds on the one before it. Review and approve, then choose whether to continue.
01
Consultation
Share your goals and review your service estimate. Initial virtual consultations are always free. In-home visits are free in our four-county area; travel fees apply elsewhere.
02
Site & Scope
We evaluate the site, process drone imagery and prepare your project brief. You approve the scope before layout begins.
03
Layout
Decide where everything goes. Approve spacing, scale and function before we develop the details.
04
Design & Visualization
Refine materials, finishes and features, then see your approved design through the renderings you choose.
05
Estimating
Review a construction cost estimate organized by trade, so you can plan your investment before requesting bids.
06
Controlled Bidding
Invite contractors to price the same defined scope. Compare proposals and choose how to move forward.
Design now. Build when you’re ready. Pause between stages and return when the timing is right—even next year.
Clarity before you commit
Beautiful projects begin with a clear plan.
A shared vision. Clearer choices. The freedom to move at your pace.
A clearer way to compare.
Compare proposals against the same plan, so you can see what each price includes.
How to compare proposals
A plan that fits your pace.
Understand the scope and likely costs, then choose what to build now and what can wait.

READY WHEN YOU ARE
You can start with questions.
Explore freely, bring the ideas you have saved, or ask for professional help right away. Completing a planner is never required.
Before you begin, see how design reviews and approval checkpoints work and how early planning can reduce avoidable project costs.
