Landscape Design

The KEY to a picture perfect garden is in the landscape design. Think of your space as a blank canvas...

• Creating a rustic retaining stone wall, Flagstone patio or having a paver driveway can add texture.
• Blending varieties of drought tolerant, green plants can create depth.
• Shading with hues of purple and soft pinks perennials brings out warmth and brightness.
• Tie it all together with a water-saving lawn.

You can tell us what you love about your garden (or someone else's!), or what you wish it to become. We'll listen to your needs and provide you recommendations from plant selections to color choices to masonry options. Whether your design project is an entire new construction or a simple update of the current space, we want to provide creative and beautiful landscape design options and installation solutions within your budget and time frame. Best of all, our design services are FREE when credit towards the cost of your landscape installation.

Landscape Design can be fun if you know how to go about it since it is all about taking one step at a time. At Landscape Therapist, we take into account a variety of factors that can impact our landscape effort in the long run.   We realize that the key to a perfect garden is landscape design. Whether it about having erosion control for a Palo Alto home or building stone retaining walls in Woodside, we understand the importance of functionality and aesthetics. 

At Landscape Therapist, our primary consideration is about the kind of people who would be using the gardens we create. There are many theme gardens where the primary focus is on other things like bees, birds, etc. However, for us it is people who view our gardens that are of great importance. Hence, our entire concern is on how to move people around the garden space without actually compromising on its aesthetics or functionality. 

Some of the key factors that we take into account at Landscape Therapist include: how people and vehicles move around on your property. We also consider whether your vehicles need a separate place in your backyard.  We take into account whether you are using the space for any recreational activity like basketball, volleyball, etc. Some of the other things that are normally considered by our experts working on your property include: whether there is too much sun or is there too much of breeze or are there any views from inside the home that can be accentuated or improved upon. Likewise, are there any porches or flagstone patios such as in San Jose that need improvements?

At Landscape Therapist, we realize that quite often functionality can impose quite a few restrictions on our designs. Consider this – your driveway may not be the prettiest feature of your landscape but you still have to design and create a space for it so that it is easy to take out or park your vehicle in the garage. Another important aspect that does not escape our attention is the drainage system, which according to us can either make or break your garden. The thing with including drainage into your Landscape design is that nobody notices it when you get it right, but if you get it wrong, your plants will languish and wither away and huge poodles of water may destroy your entire lawn and worse still, it may result in water lodging in your basement.

Whether it is new construction or you want to upgrade the existing space, at Landscape Therapist, we can provide you some innovative landscape design solutions that are as per your budget and time frame. To know more about our services, please contact us.
