Landscape Design Design
One cohesive plan for the whole property — drawn before a shovel moves.
Landscape design is the work that makes everything else worth doing. FloraStone Studio designs the whole property as one composition — how the stone, plantings, water, and fire elements relate, how you move between them, and how the yard lives across the seasons — so each piece reinforces the others instead of competing.
Every project is resolved in photorealistic 3D with detailed plans before any work begins. You walk through the design on screen, settle the decisions there, and hand a clear, coordinated plan to our trusted contractor network — so the build follows a vision rather than improvising one.
A plan for the whole, not a pile of parts
We start with how you want to live outdoors, study the site's sun, slope, soil, and drainage, then compose a single design where patios, paths, beds, walls, and features all belong to one idea. The result reads as intentional from the front gate to the back fence.
Decisions resolved before the build
Designing in photorealistic 3D lets you see proportion, material, and sightlines while changes still cost nothing. Detailed plans then give every trade a clear brief — so budgets hold, sequencing makes sense, and the finished landscape matches what you approved.
What we design in
- Whole-property concept and master plan
- Site analysis: sun, slope, soil, and drainage
- Stone, planting, water, and fire elements coordinated
- Photorealistic 3D walkthroughs of the design
- Detailed plans your contractor can build from
Brands we use
Across a full design we specify the brands best suited to each element — these are the ones we reach for most; our trusted contractor network builds from the plan.
- Belgard — Pavers & walls. Engineered pavers, wall systems, and outdoor living kits we reach for when a design calls for refined color and proven Pacific Northwest durability.
- Western Interlock — Pavers & walls. Oregon-made pavers and segmental retaining wall systems, manufactured in the Willamette Valley — local stone we love to specify for local landscapes.
- One Green World — Plants & plantings. A Portland-area nursery whose deep catalog of natives, edibles, and unusual perennials gives our planting plans real range and regional character.
- Sester Farms — Plants & plantings. An Oregon wholesale grower of healthy, climate-ready trees and shrubs — the kind of well-rooted stock our planting designs are built around.
