Stone & Bark — Landscape Design
Design that begins
with the land
A landscape designer identifies what the desired outcome for your property is and designs your yard with different landscaping features to achieve that outcome. We work backward from your vision to outline and communicate the steps required to bring it to life.
What is a
Landscape Designer?
Problem solvers & communicators
Landscape designers are primarily problem solvers. By considering the needs of the homeowner alongside the complexities of the site, we compile all the factors into a cohesive plan to develop your outdoor space.
This might be as simple as a consultation for a straightforward project or a detailed set of plans and documentation for a complex transformation. Communication is at the core of a landscape designer's work, blending the human side with the technical aspects of landscaping.
Because of the broad range of factors that affect landscape design, most designers tend to be generalists who are well-networked and can source necessary specific information. We often consult with professional tradespeople, engineers, surveyors, product suppliers, horticulturalists, and arborists to ensure every detail is considered.

Softscaping
Hardscaping
All the permanent aspects of a landscape: earthwork and drainage, retaining walls, masonry, decks, patios, concrete, carpentry, and grading. This is where the most costs are incurred and the foundational structure is built.
Softscaping
The organic and horticultural aspects: trees, shrubs, perennials, turf, and soils. This is the living side of the landscape that brings biodiversity, seasonal rhythm, and natural beauty to your outdoor space.
