How Our Landscape Design Process Works
Our design process is built to reduce guesswork and help you move forward with clarity.
1. Consultation & Discovery
We start by learning about your property, priorities, style preferences, timeline, and budget expectations.
Week 1
2. Site Capture & Planning
We gather site information, including drone-based analysis where appropriate, so the design is rooted in real conditions.
Week 2
3. Concept Development
We begin shaping the layout and overall direction of the design, making sure the space is both beautiful and buildable.
Week 2-3
4. 3D Visualization & Review
You review realistic 3D renderings and walkthroughs that help you understand the project before construction begins.
Week 3
5. Refinement & Final Plan
We refine the design based on your feedback and prepare the final design package and supporting documentation.
Week 3-4
6. Handoff Into Construction
When you move forward, the design transitions smoothly into estimating, planning, and build execution.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most landscape design projects are completed within 2 to 4 weeks once we have the information needed to begin. Timing depends on the size of the property, the complexity of the project, and how quickly feedback is provided during the review stage.
-
A typical package includes consultation, site analysis, a master plan, 3D renderings, walkthroughs, layout planning for amenities and hardscape, and a final set of plans that help guide the next stage of the project.
-
For more complex backyard projects, design is what turns rough ideas into a realistic scope. It improves pricing accuracy, helps avoid layout and drainage issues, and makes sure all parts of the project work together.
-
Yes. The design package is yours to share. That said, the most accurate execution typically happens when the design is carried through by the team that planned it.
-
Yes. Earthform works with homeowners in Stratford, Charlottetown, Summerside, and surrounding communities across Prince Edward Island.
-
Yes. 3D visualization is one of the most valuable parts of the process because it helps you understand the project before construction begins.
-
Yes. We regularly create integrated plans that combine pool design, hardscaping, planting, privacy, lighting, and outdoor living features into one cohesive backyard plan.
We’ll still complete a drone survey and site analysis to make sure your concepts actually work with grades, setbacks, and existing conditions.
Think of your sketch as the “raw material,” and our design process as the tool that refines it into something that can be built effectively.
-
The free consultation is our chance to make sure we’re a good fit and to understand your vision.
Typically, we will:
Talk about how you want to use your backyard (family time, entertaining, wellness, etc.)
Review any existing photos, sketches, or surveys you have
Discuss rough investment ranges and timelines
Explain our design process, fees, and what you’ll receive
Earthform handles every step from design through to construction
There’s no pressure to commit on the spot — the goal is clarity and a clear next step.
-
The drone survey allows us to:
Capture accurate topography (slopes, highs, lows)
Understand views, privacy concerns, and surrounding context
Plan drainage, retaining, and access routes properly
For most full backyard and pool projects, a drone survey is a critical step. It reduces guesswork, prevents costly surprises, and lets us design with real data rather than assumptions.
-
It’s common for budgets to evolve as you see what’s possible.
We will talk about budget ranges up front to make sure expectations are realistic.
During design, if we see the project drifting beyond your comfort zone, we’ll suggest options and phasing to keep things manageable.
We can often create a master plan that’s executed in stages, so you don’t have to do everything at once.
Open communication around budget is part of a stress-free process.
