Our Landscape Design Process
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 its functionality and sustainability.
Here are some factors that we need to consider when designing your 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 local climate, 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, privacy, or aesthetic appeal.
#4. 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 for their landscaping but this is critical to getting a great design. 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.
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.

We've designed and built many beautiful landscapes in Ohio
We have used Natural Image Property Services on more than one occasion, and we have been thrilled with the results. They do fantastic work for fair prices. They are also responsive and easy to communicate with, and also understanding when plans might need to change. We will use them for all of our landscaping needs!
Natural Image installed a paver front walk and two porches for us. The crew was professional, courteous and prompt in addressing any questions we had. Anthony came to our home several times before the project started to answer our design questions. We are very happy with our new front walk and porches. Feel confident in recommending them to our friends and family.
We hired Natural Image for various hard scaping projects including the design and creation of a beautiful waterfall. The team went above our expectations with the final product. We found them extremely professional in all aspects from planning to completion. They listened to our ideas and incorporated them into the final product. All workers were courteous and respectful of our property and our time. We would highly recommend this company.
We could not be happier with the outcome of the landscape project from Natural Image. The craftsmanship and professionalism of the team was top notch. They kept the space clean throughout the work and never left me questioning the final product. As with all projects, there were different visions on what the product would look like at the beginning, but the team asked the right questions and pivoted to give us more than what we could have asked for. I highly recommend them for any hard scape projects.
Natural Image replaced our patio and also added a new pavilion with a fireplace. They were extremely helpful with the design layout and giving us direction on the process. They were always very responsive and professional. We absolutely love our new outdoor space.
The team at Natural Image is professional, knowledgeable, and the work they did was beautiful!
We hired Natural Image Property Services to replace a failing retaining wall with Versa-Lok block. We would highly recommend this company. From the ease of scheduling our consultation online, to the actual consultation and subsequent conversations, all was very professional. The two guys who did the work (Taylor and K.C.) were very hard working, very diligent and meticulous—probably not too easy when building a 10’ wall, and having to fit it around a large culvert pipe. Even on 20 degree days they showed up, worked hard and did a fantastic job. All work was done within the original service description, and completed in the time frame specified. Needless to say, we are very pleased.

Frequently Asked Landscape Design Questions
2D designs provide a bird's-eye view of your landscape, detailing the layout and spatial relationships between different elements. 3D designs, on the other hand, offer a more realistic visualization, allowing you to see the depth, texture, and how the space will look and feel in real life. Both have their uses in planning a cohesive landscape.
It depends on your needs and preferences. If you want a clear and straightforward layout of your space, a 2D design might suffice. However, if you're looking to get a more tangible feel of the final result, especially for complex projects or when experimenting with different styles, a 3D design can be more beneficial.
Central Ohio's climate favors hardy plants like coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and daylilies. For trees, consider maples, oaks, or dogwoods, which thrive in our local soil and weather conditions. We select species that not only flourish in our environment but also enhance your property's aesthetic. These are only a small sample of the species we consider for our clients landscapes and we are always open to accommodating specific requests so long as they are available at local suppliers.
We recommend native plants as they require less water and are more resistant to local pests. Incorporating rain gardens and using organic mulch are also great practices. Our designs focus on sustainability while ensuring your landscape is beautiful and functional.
Absolutely! We specialize in creating low-maintenance gardens using drought-tolerant plants and efficient irrigation systems. By selecting the right plants and using mulches to reduce weed growth, we can design a garden that's both beautiful and easy to care for.
Central Ohio experiences a full range of seasons, so we design landscapes that offer year-round interest. This includes choosing plants that provide color and texture in different seasons and ensuring hardscapes are durable enough to withstand varying weather conditions.
Current trends include creating outdoor living spaces, native plant gardens, and incorporating sustainable practices. We also see a rise in edible gardens, where homeowners can grow their own herbs and vegetables.
Look for a designer with experience in the local climate and who listens to your needs. Check their portfolio for a range of styles and ask for references. It's important to choose someone who communicates well and has a clear process.
Costs vary depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the design. We offer a detailed quote after assessing your space and discussing your vision. Our aim is to provide value and quality within your budget.
Yes, certain areas may have regulations regarding tree removal, water usage, and hardscape installations. We ensure all designs comply with local ordinances to avoid any future issues.
Timelines vary based on project size and complexity. A basic garden might take a few weeks, while more intricate designs can take several months. We provide a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed throughout the process.
Definitely! We can include native plants, bird feeders, and water features to attract local wildlife. Our designs can create a haven for birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects, enhancing the natural beauty of your landscape.
Generally, 3D designs require more time and resources to create, making them more expensive than 2D designs. However, they can also be more effective in helping you visualize the end result, potentially saving time and costs in the long run by reducing the need for changes during construction.
Yes, revisions are a normal part of the design process. We encourage feedback and are willing to make changes to the layout, materials, or specific elements to ensure the final design aligns with your vision.
We typically allow a set number of revisions within our initial quote. However, additional revisions can be made with an adjustment in the project's scope and cost. Our goal is to ensure you are completely satisfied with the final design.
In a 3D design, we can incorporate textures and colors that closely resemble the actual materials. For 2D designs, we often provide samples or detailed descriptions to help you visualize the final look.
While 3D designs primarily show the initial outcome post-construction, we can provide insights into how different elements, especially plantings, will mature and change over time, giving you a long-term perspective on your landscape.
