The Design + Build Advantage: Faster, Smarter, and Cost-Effective

Homeowners seeking a quicker and more efficient way to bring their projects to life began turning to the Design + Build method in the 1970s. This approach is particularly advantageous for landscaping, offering a streamlined alternative to the traditional three-step process of design, bidding, and construction.

What is Design + Build?
Design + Build combines the roles of designer and builder into one seamless process. This means the same team that designs your project will also bring it to life, ensuring continuity, quality, and efficiency.

This method is ideal for any landscape project, from smaller enhancements to comprehensive master plans. The key benefits include:

• Faster project completion
• Single-source accountability
• Cost savings on design and materials
• Enhanced quality control

Why Design + Build Works for Landscaping
With Design + Build, considerable savings come from eliminating the need for detailed construction bid specifications. Designers rely on methods and materials they’ve refined over years of experience, ensuring efficiency and precision.

For projects with tight timelines—such as preparing for weddings, graduations, or other special events—Design + Build often becomes the only viable solution to meet deadlines without compromising quality.

Unlike traditional low-bid contracts, where quality can suffer to cut costs, Design + Build ensures excellence by keeping the design intent and execution in the same hands.
