Great Landscape Design Begins With Listening to Your Goals

Every landscape project begins with an idea. Sometimes it starts with inspiration from photos or neighboring properties. Other times it’s simply recognizing that your yard could be more inviting, more functional, or better suited to how you spend time outdoors. Our role is to transform those ideas into a thoughtful and achievable design plan.

When you connect with Benson Landscape & Design, we begin by learning about your property and how you want your outdoor space to function. By understanding your goals, priorities, and long-term vision early in the process, we can design a landscape that feels natural to your home while improving how you use the space.

Initial Consultation and Project Discovery

Your landscape consultant will begin by discussing your property, ideas, project timeline, and priorities. This conversation helps determine whether your project requires a full landscape design plan, an installation proposal, or both.

On-Site Landscape Consultation

Most projects begin with an on-site meeting. During this visit, we evaluate the layout and existing conditions of your property while discussing your ideas in person. These consultations typically last between 30 and 60 minutes and allow us to identify opportunities while spotting challenges such as grading concerns, drainage issues, or layout constraints.

Creating Your Custom Design

When a project requires a detailed design, our team develops a plan tailored specifically to your property and long-term goals. This stage combines creative ideas with careful planning to produce a landscape that looks great and functions well over time.

Your landscape design may include elements such as:

Garden bed layouts and planting plans
Patios and outdoor living areas
Walkways, steps, and retaining walls
Landscape lighting concepts
Site improvements for drainage or grading

Throughout the design process, we focus on how each feature works together so your landscape feels cohesive rather than assembled piece by piece. The result is a clear, organized design plan that shows how your outdoor space can evolve before installation begins.

Our Process From First Conversation to Finished Plan

The Benson Landscape & Design Process

STEP 1

Reach Out

Contact us through our website or by calling our office during business hours. Typically we will respond that same day. If it is after hours, you will hear from us the following morning. Either way, you will speak with a real person. During that initial conversation, we will gather details about your property, the type of work you are looking for, your timeline, and your budget. From there, we will match you with the right landscape consultant based on your project.

STEP 2

Discovery Call

STEP 3

On-Site Consultation

Your consultation will be led by one of our experienced landscape consultants. Most meetings last about 30 to 60 minutes depending on project scope. For larger or more complex jobs, we will walk the property with you, talk through your ideas, and discuss any specific challenges or considerations. Your landscape consultant will provide recommendations to enhance your property along with clear information about next steps, including whether your project qualifies for a complimentary estimate or if a design fee is appropriate. We will also let you know when to expect your proposal.

STEP 4

Proposal & Next Steps

If your project is eligible for a quote without a formal design, you will typically receive your proposal within 48 hours. For design-build projects, we will prepare a custom proposal and design fee agreement. Proposals are sent through our client portal, where you can view, approve, and sign documents digitally. We also follow up with a phone call to walk through your plan, answer questions, and confirm timing. You will always have a clear understanding of what is included and what comes next.

STEP 5

Scheduling & Project Launch

Once you have approved your proposal, we will finalize scheduling and let you know what to expect during installation. Depending on the season and project scope, installation timelines will vary. Our crew arrives in clean, branded vehicles and works with precision and care. Your landscape consultant will be your dedicated point of contact and the same team will be on-site throughout your project. We keep job sites clean, communicate proactively, and finish what we start before beginning work on any new installation.

STEP 6

Follow-Up, Ongoing Services & Maintenance

If you are interested in long-term care, our LandCare and TurfCare programs are available to keep your landscape looking great year-round. We assign the same crew to your property so you can build trust and consistency over time. Maintenance clients also benefit from two proactive site inspections each year. Whether you have hired us for a single install or are looking for a lasting partnership, we are here to support your investment with thoughtful service and expert care.
