Design Services

Courtland Landscape & Grounds provides professional landscape design services tailored to your property, vision, and budget. Whether you're planning a complete backyard transformation or improving a specific outdoor area, our team develops detailed, scaled landscape plans that bring your ideas together and provide a clear foundation for construction.

Why is there a design fee?

Professional landscape design involves more than creating a drawing. From site measurements and layout planning to material selections and design revisions, every detail requires careful consideration. A design fee covers this work, helping you make informed decisions early, avoid costly changes, and move forward with a well-developed plan.

What to expect.

You'll receive a detailed, scaled CAD landscape plan developed around your property, preferences, and project goals. We'll review the design with you, discuss materials and planting options, and refine the layout based on your feedback. The result is a practical, build-ready plan that provides a clear direction for your project.
