Our Flexible Design Process

After creating hundreds of landscape designs over the last decade, we’ve learned that our process always depends a bit on the client. Some clients need a hand through the whole process, from finding inspiration to planting the final annual. Others just need someone to help them finesse the details. And there are many somewhere in between.

Palazzo Landscape Design has a process that we can tweak and adjust to fit your needs, expertise, and comfort level. You might go through the whole process with us, or just a couple pieces. But we always start with some important first steps.

Stage 1
Initial Consultation & Site Assessment
