Why We Design Before We DigA patio drawn on paper rarely looks the way people picture it. In 3D you see how big a 14-foot patio really is next to your back door, where the steps land and whether chairs still fit around the fire pit. Changes at this stage take minutes. The same change after a footing is poured takes days and costs money. The model is built from what we measure on site: the house, the grade, the doors and the existing beds. So the layout you approve already accounts for slope and drainage, not just looks. |
From 3D Design to the Finished YardThis narrow side yard in Charlotte was red gravel down the middle with nowhere to walk. We drew it in 3D first: flagstone steppers from the side door to the gate, planting beds on both sides and composite steps at the door. Then we built it the way it was drawn. See the project |
Landscape Designer and Builder in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and Union CountyThe plan is put together by Vladimir, who trained as a civil engineer and has been building landscapes and hardscape since 2015. Grading, wall heights, and drainage routes are settled on the plan before the visual side is finalised, because those are what decide whether the finished work holds up in clay soil rather than shifting through the first few seasons. The same person who draws your design walks the site and builds it, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the crew. |
