Our Landscape Design Process
How We Bring Your Outdoor Vision to Life
Every project from Thrive begins with a thoughtful plan tailored to your property, lifestyle, and goals. Our designs are personalized, sustainable, and crafted for lasting beauty, blending creativity with function to bring your dream outdoor space to life.
Our professional landscape design process ensures that every detail, from the first sketch to final installation, is handled with care and precision. Here’s how we make it simple and enjoyable for you:
1. Initial Consultation
We start with an on-site property walk and needs assessment, discussing your ideas, challenges, and goals. You’ll receive a detailed design proposal, with most plans ranging from $500–$800, depending on project scope.
2. Custom Design Development
Next, we create scaled, color-rendered 2D landscape design plans that balance aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. These detailed drawings are perfect for HOA landscape design approval and accurate cost estimating.
3. Review & Revisions
You’ll review your plan with our lead designer, Travis Odom, and have the opportunity to provide feedback. Every design includes two rounds of revisions to refine your vision before moving forward.
4. Transition to Build
Once the design is approved, our team provides a detailed construction bid and seamlessly transitions your project into our in-house build phase. No subcontractors, only the same dedicated team ensuring your design is executed to perfection.
Serving homeowners across the Greater Austin area and Central Texas, we take pride in transforming ideas into beautiful, build-ready landscapes that thrive for years to come.
