Landscape Design in Cornelius, NC — A Plan Built for Your Yard, Not a Template

You have a yard in Cornelius that never quite looks right, and you are not sure where to start. Maybe the beds were planted by a builder who picked whatever was cheap that week. Maybe the yard slopes and water ends up where you do not want it. We start with a plan, so every dollar after that goes to the right place.

When You Need Landscape Design

Most people call us for a design when they have just moved in, just finished a remodel, or have lost the same plants three years in a row. Other signs: bare spots under trees, beds that wash out after a storm, shrubs grown taller than the windows, or a back yard with no clear place to sit. Waiting costs money. Planting before you fix drainage or soil means paying twice, once for the plants and again when they fail. Our clay soil holds water in winter and bakes hard in July, so plant choice and bed prep matter more here than they do in other parts of the state.

Our Landscape Design Process

We walk the property with you and take notes on sun, slope, soil, drainage, and what you actually want to use the space for. We check HOA rules before we draw anything. You get a plan that shows bed lines, plant types and sizes, hardscape, and lighting, along with a phased budget if you want to spread the work over time. Most designs are ready within a week of the visit. When you approve it, the same crew that helped plan the yard installs it, so nothing gets lost between the drawing and the dirt. A typical install runs a few days to two weeks depending on scope.

Landscape Design Cost in Cornelius

Design pricing depends on lot size, how much of the yard is in scope, and whether you need grading, drainage, or lighting worked into the plan. A small front-yard refresh is a very different job than a full waterfront property. We give you a written price before we start, and it covers everything we discussed. No hidden fees, no surprise change orders unless you ask for a change. Estimates and the first site visit are free, and there is no trip charge.
