You’re not guessing what your new landscape will look like. Our 3D design technology shows you exactly how your Ashland property will transform before construction starts. You’ll walk through every detail, adjust what matters to you, and approve a design that fits your lifestyle and budget.
No surprises. No costly changes mid-project. Just a clear path from concept to completion that respects your time and investment.
Your neighbors will notice the difference, but more importantly, you’ll have the outdoor space you actually wanted—not what someone else thought you should have.
We’ve been designing landscapes in the Bay Area since 1975. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects, from Silicon Valley executives to Ashland homeowners who want their outdoor space done right.
We understand Ashland’s unique climate challenges—the water restrictions, the seasonal variations, the need for drought-tolerant solutions that still look beautiful. That’s not theory for us. It’s five decades of real-world experience.
Family-operated means you work directly with decision-makers who care about your project’s success, not account managers reading from scripts.
We start with an in-person consultation at your Ashland property. No generic solutions—we listen to how you want to use your space and what problems you’re trying to solve.
Next comes 3D design development using CAD technology. You’ll see your landscape from every angle, make adjustments, and approve the final plan before any work begins. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates because your schedule matters.
During installation, you get daily updates from our project manager. We coordinate everything with our vetted contractors, handle permits, and ensure quality at every step. The final walkthrough confirms everything meets your expectations before we consider the job complete.

Every Ashland landscape design includes comprehensive planning for your specific property conditions. We address drainage issues common in the area, select plants that thrive in Southern Oregon’s climate, and design irrigation systems that work within local water conservation guidelines.
Your design package includes detailed construction drawings, plant specifications, hardscape materials selection, and lighting plans. We also coordinate with local suppliers familiar with Ashland’s building requirements and seasonal availability.
For Ashland homeowners, we emphasize water-wise design solutions that reduce maintenance while maintaining year-round appeal. Native plants, efficient irrigation, and strategic hardscaping create landscapes that work with the local environment, not against it.
Design costs vary based on your project scope and property size, but most Ashland residential designs range from $2,500 to $8,000. The good news is that if you choose one of our vetted contractors for installation, your design fee is completely refunded since the contractor pays us directly.
This means you get professional design services at no cost when you move forward with installation. We provide detailed cost breakdowns upfront, so you know exactly what you’re investing in before making any commitments.
For complex properties or extensive designs, we’ll discuss pricing during your initial consultation and provide a clear quote with no hidden fees.
Ashland’s semi-arid climate and periodic drought conditions require drought-tolerant plants that can handle both dry summers and occasional freezing winters. We typically recommend native Oregon plants like manzanita, ceanothus, and native grasses that naturally thrive here.
Mediterranean plants also perform well—lavender, rosemary, and olive trees provide beauty while using minimal water. For color, we often include drought-tolerant perennials like penstemon and salvia that bloom throughout the growing season.
The key is layering plants with similar water needs and installing efficient drip irrigation. This approach meets Ashland’s water conservation requirements while maintaining an attractive landscape year-round. We’ll select specific varieties based on your soil conditions and sun exposure.
Design development typically takes 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to final approval. This includes site analysis, concept development, 3D modeling, and revisions based on your feedback. We don’t rush this phase because getting the design right saves time and money during installation.
Installation timelines vary by project scope—simple designs might complete in 1-2 weeks, while comprehensive transformations can take 4-8 weeks. Weather and permit requirements can affect timing, but we provide guaranteed start and completion dates once we begin.
We coordinate all aspects including contractor scheduling, material delivery, and inspections. You’ll receive daily progress updates, so you always know where things stand. Most clients appreciate that we handle the complexity while keeping them informed throughout the process.
Yes, we manage all necessary permits and work with HOA requirements as part of our comprehensive service. Ashland has specific landscaping ordinances, especially regarding water conservation and hillside development, and we’re familiar with the local approval process.
For HOA communities, we prepare presentation materials that clearly show how your design meets community standards while achieving your personal goals. Our 3D visualizations help approval committees understand exactly what will be built.
We also coordinate with utility companies for any underground work and ensure compliance with setback requirements and drainage regulations. This removes the bureaucratic burden from you while ensuring everything is properly permitted and approved before construction begins.
We evaluate existing irrigation systems during the initial site analysis and can often integrate functional components into new designs. However, many older systems in Ashland aren’t water-efficient enough to meet current conservation standards or properly support new plantings.
When modifications are needed, we design upgrades that improve efficiency while reducing your water bills. This might include converting spray irrigation to drip systems, adding smart controllers that adjust to weather conditions, or rezoning areas based on plant water requirements.
We’ll provide honest recommendations about what can be salvaged versus what should be replaced. Sometimes strategic upgrades cost less than you’d expect and provide significant long-term savings on both water usage and maintenance.
Our design work is guaranteed to meet local codes and your approved specifications. If changes are needed due to design errors, we handle corrections at no charge. For installations completed by our recommended contractors, warranty terms vary by contractor but typically include one year on plant materials and longer coverage on hardscape work.
We stand behind our contractor network and will step in to resolve any issues that arise during the warranty period. This includes plant replacement for items that fail due to design or installation problems, not normal establishment challenges or maintenance issues.
Our project management continues through the warranty period, so you have a single point of contact for any concerns. We want your landscape to perform as designed, and we’ll work to ensure you’re satisfied with both the immediate results and long-term performance.
