START WITH THE PROPERTY YOU HAVE
Start by deciding how the space should work: where you enter from the house, where people sit, how children and guests move, and which views you want to keep. A beautiful feature can still be in the wrong place if it interrupts those everyday routes.
In Pensacola and the surrounding Gulf Coast, the planning conversation should also cover sunlight, shade, exposed wind, salt exposure and where water moves through the property. A sheltered inland lot and a waterfront property need different questions. For planting, start with the site’s exposure.
Bring any survey, available property records and photographs of existing conditions. Identify easements, utilities, access constraints and homeowners association requirements early. Applicable permitting and technical requirements need confirmation with the relevant authority and qualified professionals.
LANDOVA is your independent design and planning partner—not the construction company. Engineering, surveying, permit approvals and construction remain separate responsibilities with the appropriate professionals.
LAYOUT FIRST. DETAIL NEXT.
Compare the relationships between the pool, seating, outdoor kitchen, garden and open lawn. Check furniture sizes and circulation before refining finishes.
Review scale, materials and views through the visualization services you choose. Give feedback at defined checkpoints as the design develops.
Organize the selected scope, open questions and trade responsibilities so contractor proposals can be compared on more than their totals.
CONSULTATION AVAILABILITY
Free initial in-home consultations are available in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, Florida, and Baldwin and Mobile counties, Alabama.
This includes the Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Fairhope and Orange Beach areas. In-home visits outside these four counties require a travel-based consultation fee, agreed in advance. Initial virtual consultations are free nationwide.
We’ll confirm what services fit your location and project before you approve paid work. You choose whether to continue at each stage.
You do not need a finished brief or completed planner to contact us.
