Conceptual Design
What this looks like.
Conceptual landscape design is the planning stage of an outdoor transformation. It allows homeowners and property owners to visualize how hardscapes, lighting, planting areas, trees, patios, and outdoor features will work together before construction begins.
At Lorie Design, every project begins with a walk-through of the property and conversations about how the outdoor space should function long term. Designs are created to reflect the client’s vision while also considering maintenance, plant selection, lighting, drainage, and overall balance throughout the property.
