Residential Landscape Design
You’ve worked hard to create a beautiful home on the inside. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the outside were just as beautiful? Through a master plan, Wright Outdoor Solutions’ designers can transform your landscape into spaces that match your home, and your lifestyle.

How do I decide if a landscape master plan is right for me?

  1. Are there aggravating problem areas in your yard, such as steep slopes, poor drainage, areas where grass won't grow, an unsightly view out your kitchen window?
  2. Does your yard meet your family's lifestyle?
    • Comfortable outdoor entertainment spaces ?
    • Play areas for children? A quiet sitting area for busy adults? A culinary garden for a cook?
    • Landscaping that requires an appropriate amount of maintenance for the time that you have, & want to spend with it?
  3. Does your landscaping draw you into the yard? Is it interesting? Beautiful? Calming? Playful?
  4. Does the style of the landscaping match your personal style? For example, casual vs. formal or a "cottage" style vs. a neatly manicured look.
  5. Is your landscape overgrown or need updating?
  6. Do you relocate frequently and therefore, desire "curb appeal " for easy re-sale?

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you may be ready for a master plan.

Landscape master planning:
To help you decide whether a Master Plan from Wright Outdoor Solutions is right for you, an initial meeting is offered, at our offices, at no charge. It is an opportunity to:

  • Learn about our design / build process
  • View design ideas and pictures of projects
  • Meet our designers

If you decide to proceed with a master plan for your landscape, the process includes:

  • A visit to your property to review the site and your desires for the space.
  • A comprehensive approach to all of your outdoor needs, including plant material, mixed borders, hardscaping, entertaining needs and outdoor storage.
  • Master Plans that are completed under the direct supervision of registered landscape architects.
  • Presentation of a complete plan, with information relevant to your project and a cost estimate.
  • Tour of our nursery with your designer to review plant selections.
How much does a Master Plan cost?
Design fees for master plans may vary based on time needed for measurements, size of property, and desired level of detail. But, should you choose to have the plan installed, fees may be refunded and applied toward installation. Plans range in general from $150 to $750 in cost.

Installation:
Once you have approved the design and budget, we can begin installation. The installation phase includes:

  • Supervision by our experienced Landscape Architects/Designers to ensure quality control.
  • Installation crews with years of experience in the green industry.
  • Installation of top quality plant material and hard goods.


For those projects that are an exception to the Landscape Master Plan process described above, we offer design services at a rate of $75 per hour.
Are you ready to begin creating a new outdoor environment or wish more information? E-mail or call one of our designers. We look forward to hearing from you.
