The Value of Professional Backyard Design

Designing a backyard is about more than just aesthetics; it is about engineering a space that flows naturally and functions perfectly for your lifestyle. Our backyard design process ensures that every element—from the grade of the land to the placement of hardscape—is meticulously planned before the first shovel hits the ground.

  • Space Optimization: We create functional “rooms” for dining, lounging, and play.
  • Cohesive Aesthetics: Our designs ensure your new hardscapes, plants, and features complement your home’s architecture.
  • Smart Engineering: We address drainage, irrigation, and lighting needs during the design phase to prevent future issues.
  • Increased Equity: A professionally designed backyard is a primary factor in high-end residential property appraisals.

Happy Clients

“We had three independent quotes for our backyard upgrade all within the same price range. We chose Mike over the others because he followed up on all our questions; he was not pushy; he seemed to understand what we were trying to do.

Mike was with them all the time rather than as a remote manager. He kept us up to date on the schedule especially as it applied to concrete pouring. As the crew had to come through an established part of our front yard landscaping he repaired any damage that was caused. We were so impressed by him and his team we added some extra upgrades as well.

Our project included removing existing stone walkways and a wall, part of a concrete deck and several existing trees and shrubs; extending the deck, installing new steps to an existing fire pit, building a new pergola, a new concrete path and stone/rock pathway; installing new trees and shrubbery with all the irrigation. We have had several contractors over the years but working with Mike was a pleasure. He and his crew are were always pleasant when dealing with changes or clarifications to the design when needed. We would highly recommend Mike’s Landscaping for any of your landscaping needs.”
