Design Process
Site Analysis
Design Development
Schematic Design
A site analysis is an essential part of a successful project. Here, our landscape designer takes inventory of existing plants to determine their health and value to the site. We access grades and existing drainage and erosion problems. We also take inventory of all hardscape elements on the site. If needed, we take additional measurements, soil analysis and pictures to make sure we collect as much data as we can in order to give you the best design outcome.

Digital Design Process
There are times when a site visit is not necessary. With our innovative technology, we are able to design your project with only a few pictures from you, and your garden dreams! Simply send us a few pictures, of the area(s) you'd like designed, send us your survey and we'll take it from there. Send your information to: delascapes@gmail.com
Sustainable Design
We are committed to sustainable design practices that minimize the environmental impact of our projects. From green roofs to solar panels, we will help you incorporate eco-friendly solutions into your design.
3D Modeling and Visualization
Our 3D modeling and visualization services allow you to see your project in detail before construction begins. This helps ensure that the design meets your expectations and allows for any necessary changes to be made before construction starts.
