No two properties in Howard County, MD, and the surrounding areas are the same, so you shouldn’t expect a cookie-cutter approach for your landscape design. At Absolute Landscapes, our designers will review your property and meet with you to understand your vision. Whether you have specific ideas or you want us to take the creative lead, we will ensure that your landscape design is just what you envision.
The Basics of Landscape Design
You likely have ideas for your property, such as incorporating a water feature or adding a fire area. We want to ensure they are included in the final design, but there are three main components of landscape design that we will keep in mind to combine with your ideas: form, texture, and color.
Along with these components, we will also adhere to the four key principles of landscape design, as outlined by the National Association of Landscape Professionals: balance, contrast, repetition, and harmony. All of these together can be a tall order, especially when you want specific things for your property, but that’s why so many people come to us. We will take your ideas and blend them with these principles to develop a custom landscape design for you and your property.
Landscape Design Is Just the Beginning
While you may come to Absolute Landscapes for the design experience, the fact is that we are a full-service landscaping company. Once our design team finishes their work, our installation team can get to work. We have dedicated teams that can take our design work and make it a reality. This way, you only need to deal with one entity for the entire project, from inception to installation.
When you meet with our trained and experienced landscape design team at Absolute Landscapes, you will be blown away by what we have already done and what we can do for your property in Howard County, MD, and the surrounding areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step in the landscape design process? The first step is an initial consultation. Our landscape designers meet with you at your property to discuss your vision, goals, and budget. We assess the current state of your landscape to understand the opportunities and constraints of the space.
How long does the landscape design process take? The timeline for the design process can vary depending on the complexity of the project. A simple design might take a week or two, while a more comprehensive plan with hardscaping and custom features could take several weeks. We will provide a clear timeline after our initial consultation.
Can you incorporate existing plants or structures into the new design? Absolutely. We can certainly work with existing elements that you’d like to keep. Our goal is to create a harmonious design that blends the old with the new, ensuring a cohesive look for your entire property.
