One of the ways we use the 3D design to help a client make decisions is to hone in on a particular area and look at it from all angles. We can "float" in the air and swing into almost any POV. And if an asset (like this kitchen that will be 4 feet from the side of the house) is too difficult to see in situ, we just pull it out into a sub-file. That lets us look at all of its components with no obstructions. Superhelpful if you're deciding between "just a fridge" and "a fridge plus a wine cooler" for your entertainment center. see linktree in on our profile > Select 5-Step Landscape ?? #landscapedesignnearme #landscapedesignernearme #CANativedesign #CANativelandscape #CANativegarden #DanvilleCA #AlamoCA #LafayetteCA #WalnutCreekCA #PleasantonCA #LivermoreCA #SanRamonCA #resortoutdoors2025 #backyardpool2025 #funinthebackyard2025 #letseatoutdoors2025

With the 3D design, we can seamlessly blend the assets and finishes that will stay in the project with the new assets and materials that will be coming on site. And, as you can see, the 3D view is particularly useful if your lot is an unusual shape, like this property that backs to a watershed on public property (aka "open space"). see linktree in on our profile > Select 5-Step Landscape ?? #landscapedesignnearme #landscapedesignernearme #CANativedesign #CANativelandscape #CANativegarden #DanvilleCA #AlamoCA #LafayetteCA #WalnutCreekCA #PleasantonCA #LivermoreCA #SanRamonCA #resortoutdoors2025 #backyardpool2025 #funinthebackyard2025 #letseatoutdoors2025

Projects usually come to us in one of two formats -- tear it all out OR preserve some well-made assets and work around them in the design. Our job is to honor the wishes of the homeowner while still offering critique and insight into which will create the better place to live in the long-term. In this project, the client has a beautiful CMU block retaining wall with a Melissa and Ross veneer. We have to take down part of the wall (demoing a hot tub). However, we think we can source enough of the veneer to patch and repair the wall. No need to take it all down just to get a slightly different footprint along the side fence. Instead, we're taking a cue from the materials and going "old Livermore wine country with the slightest modern twist" for the pavers and the outdoor kitchen materials. see linktree in on our profile > Select 5-Step Landscape ?? #landscapedesignnearme #landscapedesignernearme #CANativedesign #CANativelandscape #CANativegarden #DanvilleCA #AlamoCA #LafayetteCA #WalnutCreekCA #PleasantonCA #LivermoreCA #SanRamonCA #resortoutdoors2025 #backyardpool2025 #funinthebackyard2025 #letseatoutdoors2025

Gather round the table -- for the holidays, to review your 3D landscape design, and to finalize the installation plan. If you want to celebrate the seasons outside in 2025, now's the time to reach out! see linktree in on our profile > Select 5-Step Landscape ?? #landscapedesignnearme #landscapedesignernearme #CANativedesign #CANativelandscape #CANativegarden #DanvilleCA #AlamoCA #LafayetteCA #WalnutCreekCA #PleasantonCA #LivermoreCA #SanRamonCA #resortoutdoors2025 #backyardpool2025 #funinthebackyard2025 #letseatoutdoors2025

The questions provide a framework for the terms of the 3D landscape design. see linktree in on our profile > Select 5-Step Landscape ?? #landscapedesignnearme #landscapedesignernearme #CANativedesign #CANativelandscape #CANativegarden #DanvilleCA #AlamoCA #LafayetteCA #WalnutCreekCA #PleasantonCA #LivermoreCA #SanRamonCA #resortoutdoors2025 #backyardpool2025 #funinthebackyard2025 #letseatoutdoors2025

The tech that is coming into our business is pushing us to rethink deeply how we organize all the information we manage -- client-facing, vendor-facing, and installer-facing. We are in an exciting time of change! #smallbusiness #womenownedbusiness #smartbusiness #2025businessplanning see linktree in on our profile > Select 5-Step Landscape ?? #landscapedesignnearme #landscapedesignernearme #CANativedesign #CANativelandscape #CANativegarden #DanvilleCA #AlamoCA #LafayetteCA #WalnutCreekCA #PleasantonCA #LivermoreCA #SanRamonCA #resortoutdoors2025 #backyardpool2025 #funinthebackyard2025 #letseatoutdoors2025

A big project can take weeks / months to pull off. We prefer to work back to front, organizing materials by area. I have *a lot of ideas* of how the phases should be organized, so it's great when the homeowner brings in a contractor who's open to collaborating and getting different points of view. Because part of what we do during the design process is scope out the materials and confirm availability, we have good intel for the contractor when she/he is organizing the order of operations. One of the big challenges with a total front/back rehab is deciding where to put materials so that we're not wasting time and money playing tetris. Good communication is so important! see linktree in on our profile > Select 5-Step Landscape ?? #landscapedesignnearme #landscapedesignernearme #CANativedesign #CANativelandscape #CANativegarden #DanvilleCA #AlamoCA #LafayetteCA #WalnutCreekCA #PleasantonCA #LivermoreCA #SanRamonCA #resortoutdoors2025 #backyardpool2025 #funinthebackyard2025 #letseatoutdoors2025

Believe it or not... ???? The 3D design is just the first leg of the journey. Once the homeowner approves the scope and hires the team (a contractor to manage the entire project + YesPlease.GARDEN for installation/design support), then we get back in the dirt! If you know me, you know this is my happy place... seeing all the ideas turning real? Amazing. Every time. Maybe it's the time I spent working for the big paver company, but I can't let go of those roots. Getting the hardscape installed just right is my baby. Look at those curves on that path. That's some talented stone masonry team! see linktree in on our profile > Select 5-Step Landscape ?? #landscapedesignnearme #landscapedesignernearme #CANativedesign #CANativelandscape #CANativegarden #DanvilleCA #AlamoCA #LafayetteCA #WalnutCreekCA #PleasantonCA #LivermoreCA #SanRamonCA #resortoutdoors2025 #backyardpool2025 #funinthebackyard2025 #letseatoutdoors2025

They ain't lyin' when they talk about the power of community! So when you're a small business, you have to create your own community. Our vendor community is made up of the wonderful, kind, and generous folks who helm these local businesses that support the landscape and design industry. If they don't know the answer (whether it's how to, where to, or how much?), they know the person who will. #smallbusiness #womenownedbusiness #smartbusiness #2025businessplanning see linktree in on our profile > Select 5-Step Landscape ?? #landscapedesignnearme #landscapedesignernearme #CANativedesign #CANativelandscape #CANativegarden #DanvilleCA #AlamoCA #LafayetteCA #WalnutCreekCA #PleasantonCA #LivermoreCA #SanRamonCA #resortoutdoors2025 #backyardpool2025 #funinthebackyard2025 #letseatoutdoors2025
