Residential Landscape Design

See Your Complete Landscape Before It’s Built.

Your landscape should work as beautifully as it looks. We thoughtfully plan how you’ll move, gather, relax, and entertain—bringing climate-appropriate planting, efficient irrigation, and layered outdoor lighting into one cohesive design you can explore in 3D before construction begins.

What Our Clients Say

Reviews

"Tim completed two designs for me in the last two years for a complex sports court and deck project with lots of plants involved. Both experiences were top notch. He listens to what I'm expecting and makes very useful suggestions for enhancements. Once we are done he goes back and within a week produces a comprehensive landscape plan. Furthermore, he makes himself available for Zoom calls to review the plan live and make turns for edits. My projects came out great thanks to the detailed plans by Tim. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to anyone."

"I couldn't be happier with the landscape design work! Tim delivered a clean, polished, and beautifully planned layout that transformed the entire property. Every detail was thoughtfully executed — from the plant selection to the hardscape placement — and the final result looks absolutely stunning. Their professionalism, creativity, and eye for design truly set them apart. Highly recommend Lemon & Honey Landscape design for anyone wanting top-quality, great-looking work. Thank you Tim!"
