TRANSFORM YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE
Expert landscape designer that will help you create the outdoor you always wanted
When the weather is comfortably warm, there’s nothing quite like spending time outdoors. Whether it’s enjoying some quality time with family or having fun with friends, a beautiful and efficient backyard can make outdoor life much easier. At Serene Landscape Design, we can help you design the backyard you’ve always dreamed of. Not only will it increase your home’s value, but a great design can also provide a peaceful retreat for everyone to enjoy. Our expert team considers the perfect flow of lines, colors, textures, heights, and focal points that go well together to create a back yard that is both functional and beautiful. A well-designed backyard is not just an investment in your home, but it can also catch the interest of potential buyers if you’re considering selling your property in the future. In a booming city like Austin/Round Rock, an outdoor living space that has all the social entertainment and relaxation areas in place, fully decorated with beautiful plants, will definitely be an eye-catcher. Let us help you create your perfect backyard oasis.
Serene Landscape Design is located in Round Rock, Texas, and proudly serve the surrounding areas including North Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and Hutto. However, distance is not a barrier as we also offer our services to clients who are located outside of these areas, provided they can provide us with the necessary measurements required for the design.
Our team is dedicated to working closely with our clients and exceeding their expectations. We take the time to sit down with each client, guiding them through the process, and ensuring they are satisfied with the final plan. Our goal is to leave our clients with a complete and finished plan that is ready for their contractor and/or landscaper to use. At Serene Landscape Design, we strive to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible for our clients.
Design Process with Serene Landscape Design
Concept Design
The first phase of our design process involves creating a Concept Design, which represents the initial idea and a potential design for your outdoor space. We strive to incorporate as many items from the client’s wish list as possible, such as an extended patio, lounge or dining space, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, fire pit area, sun-bed area, pool, shed, veggie garden, lawn, kids play area, gazebo, or pergola.
In addition to the client’s preferences for outdoor features, their personal style is also implemented into the design. We offer a range of design styles to choose from, including:
- Modern style with its straight clean lines, structure, and repetition
- Natural style with curvy lines and a variation of native plants
- English Garden style with lots of curves, texture, and color
- Xeriscape/Zeroscape style with no grass but various types of gravel/rock and a few very drought-tolerant plants for minimal maintenance.
Lay Out Design
The Lay Out Design is the ultimate Landscape Design that is presented to the client. During the Concept meeting, the client can provide requests for minor adjustments to the initial plan. If the client decides to purchase the Planting Design and Specified Design, we will also discuss their plant and material preferences during this meeting. These additional requests will then be integrated into the final plan, which is known as the Lay Out Design.
However, if the client chooses not to purchase the Planting Design and Specified Design, we will use random plants and materials in the final Lay Out Design.
Planting Design
Clients often prefer to have a customized Planting Design that caters to their style and plant preferences. Finding the right plants for specific spots with appropriate heights, widths, colors, water and sun requirements, and neighbor plants can be challenging. Living in the Austin/Round Rock Texas climate, it’s crucial to choose vegetation suitable for the right hardiness zone, which can tolerate summer heat and cold winter temperatures. Selecting plants that cannot survive these extreme temperatures can lead to disappointment.
A Planting Design can be an ideal solution as it plans out everything for the clients. After receiving this plan, clients can show it to their nursery or landscaper without having to spend hours walking around nurseries, searching for plant specifications on the internet, or figuring out combinations and groups. Serene Landscape Design takes care of all these tasks for its clients.
Specified Design
A Specified Design is a detailed plan that outlines the measurements and materials for the hardscape areas only. It’s designed to be used by your contractor or yourself during the construction of different areas such as plant beds, patios, arbors, and curves. This plan eliminates the guesswork involved in determining measurements, as everything is precisely written out with descriptions and supported by photos.
At Serene Landscape Design, we provide assistance to your local contractor with this plan, ensuring that everything is accurately measured and constructed according to the plan.
3D Walk-Through Video
Additionally, Serene Landscape Design offers a 3D video service that provides clients with a complete visual and experience of their new outdoor space. This video is not only a fun bonus feature but also serves as a valuable tool in communicating the design to contractors and landscapers. By providing a complete visual alongside the paper plans, it helps ensure that everyone is on the same page.
The 3D video is also a great way to showcase your new space to friends, family, and neighbors in the Austin/Round Rock area or beyond who may be considering improving their own outdoor space. By sharing the design process and the final product, it can demonstrate the value of investing in professional landscape design services.
It’s important to note that the 3D video is a free bonus offered to clients who have purchased all previous designs in the process.
