Water-wise Landscape & Irrigation Designs for Residential New Construction
Building a new home?
New construction provides the opportunity to create something uniquely custom. A thoughtful landscape design connects the home to the land and becomes an extension of the interior living space. When landscape plans are created with house plans before construction starts, builders can take advantage of existing natural features and integrate utilities while creating custom landscape elements that provide site functionality with remarkable aesthetics.

Irrigation Design
Automated irrigation systems are a crucial element of a successful landscape project, whether installed by a professional or a homeowner. Trees need more water than turf grass, both in quantity and regularity, and in order to get established successfully it’s important each get the necessary amount of water during the first few seasons. Irrigation design work includes irrigation layout with quantities and materials list, along with an irrigation program and color zone map that serve as useful references when posted near the controller. Irrigation services also include audits of existing systems with full reports on water management and conservation tips.
Project Management
During the installation of a landscape plan it is important to ensure that work is done according to plan. If a design needs to be modified in the field for any reason during construction, it is important to consider the implications of the revision options. Regular site visits and daily communications can ensure that the installation of your landscape plan goes to plan and any changes made in the field will avoid affecting any future work and maintain the original design objectives. Every project is different and every client has specific, individual needs and we customize our involvement as the project requires or as the client requests.
