01 / CONNECT — Work out the usable space.
Locate the activities first: dining, cooking, swimming, lounging, gardening and open play. Compare furniture and walking routes before settling on the size of each built feature.

Free initial in-home consultations in Santa Rosa County. Initial virtual consultations are free nationwide. Appointment timing is confirmed when we respond to your request.
Start with your property, not separate product quotes.
A pool, patio, outdoor kitchen and planting plan can each look right on their own. The harder question is whether they work together: where people walk, how furniture fits, where shade is needed and how construction reaches the backyard.
For your Santa Rosa County property, begin with what you can observe. Which areas get afternoon sun? Where does water collect after rain? Which views should stay open? Does a gate or narrow side yard affect access? An inland yard and an exposed coastal property may call for different questions; the address alone does not answer them.
Bring available property records, photos and any homeowner-association information. Before treating a layout as buildable, the responsible professionals need to confirm boundaries, easements, utilities and applicable site requirements.
Plan everyday routes through the backyard · Organize your budget, scope and unknowns
One layout. Clearer decisions for every trade.
02 / EXPERIENCE — Review the design in 3D.
Explore scale, materials and views through the visualization services included in your design proposal. Use the review stages to refine the arrangement before those choices become separate construction commitments.
03 / PREPARE — Define what gets priced.
Record the current design, selections, future phases and unresolved questions. Give the trades a common starting point so you can compare what their proposals actually include.

Use the property address to find the right starting point.
Keep the property address and any available survey or parcel information with your project notes. Ask which local authority handles the proposed work and which documents the responsible professionals will need. Do not assume a mailing address settles those questions.
Santa Rosa County Development Services provides official starting points for planning, zoning, permitting and related services. Confirm the authority and requirements for your property before relying on a general checklist.
LANDOVA helps organize the planning conversation. Surveying, engineering, permit decisions and construction remain with the appropriate qualified professionals and authorities.
A useful first conversation—even if your ideas are unfinished.
LANDOVA offers free initial in-home consultations for properties in Santa Rosa County, including the Pace, Milton, Gulf Breeze and Navarre areas. Initial virtual consultations are free regardless of location.
You do not need a completed planner or a finished design brief to contact us. Bring:
- What you want to enjoy outside and what is not working today.
- Current photos and any property information you already have.
- A comfortable spending target and your timing priorities.
- The features you want now and those you might add later.
We will discuss the services that fit your project before you approve paid work. The free Outdoor Project Plan organizes preferences and questions; it is not a finished custom design, engineered plan or construction estimate.
LANDOVA is currently in beta. Consultation requests are recorded in the order received; we will confirm appointment availability when we contact you.
Plan your next decision before choosing a contractor.
Choosing a pool builder?
Connect the pool to the patio, equipment access, planting and future features before comparing proposals.
Comparing landscapers?
Define privacy, planting, usable outdoor space and care expectations before asking companies to price a new installation.
Planning a patio or outdoor kitchen?
Review furniture, cooking, dining, drainage questions and utility responsibilities together. A paved area or appliance package is only part of the project.
