START WITH THE PROPERTY YOU HAVE

A Gulf Coast backyard needs more than a wish list.

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.

See the plan before committing to the build.

01 / CONNECT

Work out the layout

Compare the relationships between the pool, seating, outdoor kitchen, garden and open lawn. Check furniture sizes and circulation before refining finishes.

02 / EXPERIENCE

Explore the design in 3D

Review scale, materials and views through the visualization services you choose. Give feedback at defined checkpoints as the design develops.
