Gather round the table -- for the holidays, to review your 3D landscape design, and to finalize the installation plan.

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

Homegrown National Park and California Native Plant Society - thank you for all you do to lead the way. and @bringingbackthenatives (!!!)

I hesitate to call my own yard a "landscape," because it's more like a lab! I use my space to vet the CA Natives I'm recommending for my clients' projects. The effects of sun and heat are not to be taken lightly. You can't water your way through the sun/heat one-two punch. The plant can either take it (bc it's appropriately drought tolerant), or it's gonna rot if you overwater. But the confidence that comes from learning how these plants want to be placed and treated is not to be underrated. In fact, it's the whole reason I named my company "Yes Please GARDEN." Being connected to nature down in the dirt is life-affirming in every way. 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

This may not be for you, but maybe it's for someone you know... someone who's always talking about how much they want a new landscape but they just don't know who to trust... These are the types of clients we want to work with in 2025. If you know 'em, send 'em our way! 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

'Tis the season! no... not just for spooky treats and sugar hangovers! November is our month to reflect on the challenges and successes of 2024 and start laying plans for 2025. This has definitely been the year of implementing new tech at YesPlease.GARDEN, with some big learning and stretching required. We did all the hard work and late nights because we want better tools for our clients, more efficiencies for the back office, and better communication tools for the installers and crews at the job sites. The two biggest wins were the astonishingly great 3D modeling resources for our designs and implementing a CRM for client communications. But if we sat down for coffee, I'd probably pour out another dozen changes that make us stronger and more sophisticated going into 2025. In fact, if you're a business owner in the local area or in the industry, and you'd like to compare notes and strategies, YES. Reach out. Like the CA natives we plant, we want to keep growing! #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
