How We Design Beautiful Landscapes

Designing a landscape that you can enjoy and be proud of is a complex and multi-step process.  Landscape design requires a great deal of thought and care to ensure that the end result will meet your needs and preferences. A well-designed landscape not only adds beauty and value to your property but also enhances your lifestyle and increases the enjoyment you get out of your property.

Design Considerations

Here are the factors that we need to consider when designing your new landscape:

#1.  Lay of the land: The topography of the land, including its slope, elevation, and drainage patterns, can have a significant impact on the design of a landscape. These factors can affect the placement of features such as patios, retaining walls, and water features.

#2.  Size of the area: The size of the area that is being designed will also affect the design. We must consider the amount of available space, and how best to use that space to create a cohesive and functional design.

#3.  Use of plants: Plants are an essential part of any landscape design, and the choice of plants must be carefully considered. We must consider factors such as the growing zone (Central Florida is 9B - 10B), soil type, sun exposure, and plant growth characteristics. We must also consider your preferences and the purpose of the plants, whether they are for shade, color, privacy, or aesthetic appeal.

#4.  Plant Growth At Maturity: When selecting plants as part of your landscape design, we must consider how they will grow and how big they will be at maturity. Your landscape 2, 3, or even 5 years down the road will change as your plants grow.  This is an important design detail we need to consider to ensure that the plants do not outgrow their designated spaces or become an obstacle for maintenance in the future.

#5.  Hardscaping: Hardscaping, which includes features such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls, can be an integral part of your landscape design. We must consider the function and aesthetics of these features and how they will fit into the overall design.

#6.  Softscaping:  Softscaping is all of the softer, natural elements of your landscape.  This could include lawn areas, garden beds, landscape beds, hedges, shrubs, and trees.  Do you want a landscape that is low maintenance?  Do you want a landscape that reduces watering requirements? Or how about natural habitat for local wildlife?  These are factors we need to consider with your landscape design.

#7:  Budget:  We know not everyone likes to talk about their budget but this is critical to getting a great design.  We can design beautiful outdoor spaces but we don't want to provide you with ideas and concepts that are outside of your price range.  If we know and understand your budget we can ensure the options we provide are going to stay within your range.  We don't want to design a landscape that you cannot afford to build.

Rain Gardens: Implementation of rain gardens to manage stormwater runoff, reduce erosion, and improve water quality.

Our landscape designs are tailored to reflect your personal style and meet the functional needs of your property. With a focus on quality, sustainability, and aesthetics, we ensure that each element we include enriches your outdoor living experience.

The Design Process

Step #1.  Consultation: We will meet with you on your property to discuss your needs, preferences, and budget.

Step #2.  Site analysis: We will conduct a thorough analysis of the site, including its topography, soil type, drainage, and sun exposure.

Step #3.  Design concept: We will create a preliminary 2D or 3D design concept, including the layout of features and the selection and layout of plants.

Step #4.  Design development: We will refine the design concept, taking into consideration any feedback you have.  We want to make sure you're 100% happy with the design before proceeding.

Step #5.  Final design: We will present you with the final design, including a detailed plant list and hardscape specifications which will include the specific types and styles of materials being used.

Step #6.  Installation: Once the design has been approved by you, we will then schedule and oversee the installation of your new landscape.

Questions About Landscape Design?

We've tried to answer some of the most common questions our customers ask about landscape design.

2D designs are flat, blueprint-style layouts of your landscape plan. They're great for understanding layout and space. 3D designs, however, offer a lifelike visualization of what the final project will look like, including textures, colors, and how the space feels.

Absolutely! We can incorporate existing elements such as trees, structures, or favorite plants into the new design, ensuring a seamless blend of old and new.

In Central Florida, sustainable and eco-friendly landscaping trends are gaining popularity. This includes native plant gardens that require less water, natural stone or paver hardscaping, and outdoor living spaces like kitchens and fire pits for year-round enjoyment.

Yes, strategic landscape design can enhance privacy. We use elements like fencing, privacy hedges, and strategically placed trees and shrubs to create a natural barrier while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your property.

The time to create a landscape design plan varies based on the project's complexity. For most residential projects in Central Florida, it can take anywhere from a 7-10 days. This allows us to thoroughly understand your needs and carefully plan each detail.

Absolutely! Your feedback is crucial. After presenting the initial design, we welcome your input and will make revisions to ensure the plan meets your vision. We typically allow for a set number of revisions within the project scope to refine the design to your satisfaction.

Several factors influence material choice: aesthetic preferences, maintenance requirements, durability, and budget. In Central Florida, we also consider the local climate and the material's ability to withstand seasonal changes.

In landscape design, flexibility is key. If unexpected challenges arise, such as site constraints or material availability, we communicate these promptly and provide alternative solutions. Our experience allows us to adapt and find creative ways to overcome such challenges.

I hired Tree of Life to clear out some old flower beds in the front of the house followed by design and installation of a "new look". I had some very specific needs related to long term maintenance and upkeep which Michael and his team were very responsive to. Their work included adjustments to the irrigation system to insure the plants had adequate water. The design is excellent and quality of work outstanding. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for high-quality landscaping work to be done.

Tree of Life Landscape and Design exceeded my expectations with their exceptional landscaping services for the front of my house. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, Tree of Life Landscape and Design demonstrated great customer service, integrity, and professionalism. They took the time to understand my vision and goals for the front of my house, offering valuable insights and recommendations based on their expertise. The team at Tree of Life Landscape and Design tackled the project with great precision and care. They removed the Shillings on both sides of the sidewalk and strategically used the best ones to fill in the gaps in the hedgerow along the front of the house. This attention to detail created a cohesive and visually appealing landscape. In addition to removing unwanted plants and disposing of all debris, Tree of Life Landscape and Design installed black metal edging to conform to the new bed shape. This added structure and definition to the landscape design, enhancing its overall aesthetic. The selection of plants was thoughtfully chosen to complement the architecture of my home. They planted 6 Miami Supreme Gardenias, with 3 in front of each window, adding a touch of elegance and fragrance to the front yard. The placement of 2 Robelini Palms, with a triple trunk in the center of the right-hand bed and a double trunk in front of the bathroom window, added a symmetrical and balanced look. To complete the transformation, Tree of Life Landscape and Design installed white marble chips in the beds, creating a clean and polished appearance. The use of flood and up lights to illuminate the front of my house as nighttime approaches added a captivating and welcoming ambiance. Throughout the entire process, Tree of Life Landscape and Design demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and a commitment to delivering a high-quality result. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. I highly recommend Tree of Life Landscape and Design for any landscaping needs. Their expertise, integrity, and exceptional customer service make them a top choice for creating beautiful and functional outdoor spaces. Thank you, Tree of Life Landscape and Design, for transforming the front of my house into a stunning landscape that I can enjoy for years to come!"

When we bought this house we inherited 4 Koi fish ponds that wrapped the entire back of the house After removing the fish (to Koi fish rescue team) and filling the ponds with dirt in an attempt to do this work ourselves We have been, for the last 3 years, looking at 4 giant dirt pits filled with weeds and snakes and other critters making habitat right up against our house. It was time to call the professionals and Michael and his crew are the definition of professionals They have exceeded our expectations & where we once did not even want to go out our back door into this monstrosity, we now can't stop looking at our beautiful stone patios! From the first day Michael came to the house for the initial estimate his vibe exudes a calm and zen like presence with a calculated thoughtfulness about the job at hand. His price was very fair and the amount of manual labor this took to pull off was stunning and I cannot even believe they finished this in less than 3 days! Impeccable! We will definitely be hiring Tree of Life again for more projects!

This is my second experience with Tree of Life Landscape and Design and as before their work never disappoints. Michael and his crew removed and replaced a 30 year old weather and insect damaged wooden retaining wall and pathway with a beautiful architectural block and cap design and also reinforced the pavers that surround the landscaping in the back yard. The cost was reasonable and the job was completed in the specified time. Michael was easy to work with and was always available to answer our questions. I highly recommend Tree of Life Landscape and Design for any outdoor beautification projects.

The retaining wall project went very smooth. I had a 40' two-tiered wall installed. The workmanship was great and the workers were friendly and helpful.
