A well-thought-out landscape design is the foundation of any beautiful outdoor space. At Open Air Exteriors, our landscape design services start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your preferences, lifestyle, and the unique characteristics of your property.

● Consultation: We begin with an in-depth discussion to understand your vision, needs, and budget. Our team considers factors such as your property’s layout, existing vegetation, and soil conditions to develop a customized design plan.

● Design Planning: Using advanced design software, we create detailed plans and 3D renderings that bring your vision to life. Our designs incorporate elements such as plant selection, hardscaping features, lighting, and water features to create a cohesive and harmonious outdoor space.

● Approval and Adjustments: We work closely with you to refine the design, making adjustments as needed to ensure the final plan meets your expectations and preferences.

Creating a lush, vibrant garden requires expert knowledge of plant species, soil conditions, and climate. Our garden and planting services are designed to enhance the natural beauty of your property with carefully selected plants and thoughtful arrangements.
