Our Backyard Design Process
We offer multiple types of designs to help you visualize your yard’s transformation. From quick sketches and concept or construction plans to 3D renderings, our landscape architects have multiple tools to bring your landscaping design to life before it even starts. If you are a homeowner in the Bay Area, interested in working with our expert landscaping designers, reach out to us today.
STEP 1One-Hour On-Site Consultation
First thing first. Start by meeting our team in person to go over design ideas, specs, dimensions and conduct a site analysis of your property. This allows us to observe and consider all aspects of the space together such as existing conditions, landscape construction, irrigation systems, architectural style, property access, demolition, irrigation systems, horticulture needs, lawn care requirements, existing utilities and topography.
Together we’ll refine the design cost and provide an exact figure based on evaluation and design considerations.
Cost: Free
From there we can expand on and revise the initial design consideration, key elements and attributes as needed.
Using the compiled information from the initial consultation and site analysis, our designers will generate a concept plan and/or 3D rendering — a visual representation of the end goal of the project.
Cost: Starting at: $1,000
Our HOA plan includes:
- Scaled design with callouts, dimensions and measurements
- Plan revisions such as slight adjustments to scope or rounding corners
At Sequoia Outdoor, we offer the best customer service and craftsmanship, outstanding finished product…you will not be disappointed!
Cost: Starting at: $1,000
In some cases, a concept plan is not enough to grasp the ideas of the completed project. This is where 3D renderings come into play. Our 3D renderings include:
- Viewpoints
- Revisions to the plan, like rounding corners or slight adjustments to the scope
Our 3D+ plan also allows you to experience night scenes, flythrough videos and much more.
Cost: Starting at: $1,000
A site evaluation of your project’s needs is used to create a custom design package with exact quotes. While typically used for outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas and water features, design packages can be used for outdoor living enhancements.
Cost: Varies by project
Each package comes with a set of basic revisions, which typically entail small modifications like rounding corners or minor adjustments to scope.
Additional revisions will be charged at an hourly rate of $100/hour.
Cost: $100/hour

Fair and Transparent Pricing

- Belgard pavers (least expensive)
- Basalite pavers
- Calstone pavers
- Techo – Bloc pavers (most expensive)

Backyard Landscaping FAQs
How long does a backyard remodel take?
The timeline depends on your project’s scope. Simple updates take 2-3 weeks, while complete backyard transformations can take 2-4 months. Weather conditions and material availability may affect completion times.
Can I use my backyard during renovation?
Yes. While construction areas will be off-limits, our team ensures safe access to your home throughout the project. We provide a clear work schedule and maintain designated pathways for your family.
How can I make my backyard more functional?
Start with your main goals—-an outdoor kitchen for entertaining, a pool for family fun, or dedicated spaces for dining and relaxation. Our designers create custom plans that maximize your space and complement your lifestyle.
Do I need permits for my backyard project?
Most Bay Area cities require permits for pools, structures, and major landscape changes. Our team handles all permit applications and ensures your project meets local codes. We manage the entire approval process to keep your project on schedule.
