Outdoor Living Design Process

Creative Pavers, Inc. has found success in sticking to our philosophy of emphasizing project design and site planning above everything else. Our backyard landscape designers feel that the design phase is the most important step of any project, as a good set of plans will ensure that the client and the installation teams are always on the same page. We use state of the art programs such as Dynascape Pro, AutoCAD, VizTerra, and many other top of the line computer imaging software programs to give you the clearest set of plans for whatever your project may call for. Landscaping layouts are generated on large 36” x 24” prints that label everything in accurate detail and proportion. Digital pictures are also imported into the design to give a more visual overall feel for the selected plant material. We even have the capability to create realistic visual 3D renderings with the ability to “walk through” your project before the first shovel hits the ground.

Landscape design fees begin at $500 and we start the process by scheduling an initial consultation at the client’s home. This meeting is where design ideas, budget limits, and scheduling issues are discussed. We also review many photos of completed projects to obtain an overall sense of the client’s taste. At that time, photos are taken of the property and a detailed rough sketch is completed. A follow up appointment is scheduled approximately 2 weeks later to revisit your home with a completed landscape design layout. After reviewing the design, an exact cost of the project is provided. If you choose to have us compete the work, all design fees are credited towards the project’s overall cost.

Whether you are looking for a complete design, layout, and install package or you are a more of a do-it-yourselfer who just wishes to have a good set of drawings to tackle the project on your own, let the backyard landscape designers at Creative Pavers be your consultant. From small residential renovation projects to large commercial estates, we excel at being able to cater to all types of clients. We pledge to respond to all e-mail/phone requests within 24 hours and we wish to thank you ahead of time for your inquiry.

Our Proven Hardscape Design and Build Process

At Creative Pavers, Inc., we understand that every successful project begins with a solid foundation—literally and figuratively. Our proven design-build process is designed with you, the client, at the forefront. We believe that each outdoor space tells a unique story, and it’s our mission to help you craft yours.

From initial concept discussions to the final touches, our collaborative approach ensures that your vision guides every step of the journey. We invite you to explore the possibilities and discover how we can elevate your outdoor environment through meticulous planning and expert execution.

  • Consultation & Vision Planning

    The journey begins with your unique ideas, specific needs, and personal lifestyle. During our in-home consultation, we will:

    • Discuss Your Vision: We take the time to understand your goals for your outdoor living space. That involves discussing your preferred styles and any specific features you want, such as seating, pools, decks, etc.
    • Explore Design Options: We will explore functional and aesthetic design options that suit your preferences. This includes ideas for landscaping, hardscaping, lighting, and more, ensuring that every aspect reflects your taste while serving practical purposes.
    • Assess Your Property: Our team will thoroughly evaluate your property to identify layout possibilities. Some factors we look at include topography, existing vegetation, sunlight exposure, and any zoning regulations that may impact the design.
    • Review Budget and Goals: We then review your budget considerations and long-term goals, allowing us to tailor our recommendations to your financial framework.
  • Concept Development & 3D Renderings

    Once we understand your vision thoroughly, our skilled design team will convert it into a comprehensive, customized plan tailored to your needs. This includes:

    • High-Resolution 3D Renderings: These visualizations allow you to explore your space from various angles and better understand how different elements will come together before construction starts.
    • Strategic Layout Design: We create a layout that incorporates features such as patios, decks, swimming pools, and landscaping elements, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
    • Collaborative Revision Process: As we draft and revise our designs, we maintain open communication and offer multiple opportunities for input and adjustments so we can fine-tune every detail to your satisfaction.
    • Detailed Project Timeline: Our clear timeline outlines each project phase from start to finish. Hence, you know exactly what to expect and when.

      This thorough planning stage empowers you to confidently make informed decisions, ensuring the outcome aligns perfectly with your vision and expectations.

    • Material Selection & Customization

      Your outdoor space should reflect your style and be capable of withstanding the elements over time. We proudly offer an extensive selection of premium materials, including:

      • Pavers in various shapes, sizes, and finishes, allowing you to create intricate patterns and designs
      • Decking options include hardwoods, composite materials, and eco-friendly alternatives
      • Natural stonework featuring a range of textures and colors for patios, pathways, and retaining walls

      Our team of experts is here to provide personalized guidance on selecting the perfect color palettes, textures, and styles that align with your vision.

    • Construction & Project Management

      At Creative Pavers, we firmly believe that exceptional designs deserve nothing less than flawless execution.

      From the initial phase of paving and decking to the intricate details of landscaping and lighting, we ensure that each element is thoughtfully integrated. Our seamless coordination process alleviates the stress of managing multiple contractors, allowing for a smoother and more cohesive project flow.

      We prioritize ongoing communication with our clients, providing regular updates and progress reports throughout the project timeline. We also adhere to strict timelines and budgets, ensuring your investment is respected and maximized.

    • Final Walkthrough & Satisfaction Guarantee

      Before we consider the job complete, we follow a thorough process that includes:

      1. Conducting a Final Walkthrough: Our team will walk through the entire space with you, carefully inspecting every detail to confirm that everything aligns with your vision and standards.
      2. Making Necessary Adjustments: We are dedicated to perfecting your space, and if any adjustments are needed, we will address them promptly to ensure your complete satisfaction.
      3. Providing Care Instructions and Maintenance Tips: We offer personalized care instructions and practical maintenance tips to help you maintain the beauty and functionality of your new installation. This guidance ensures that your investments remain in pristine condition for years to come.
