When Landscape Master Planning Should Begin

Why bringing landscape planning into a new build or major renovation early can protect the architecture, budget, and finished property.

Before the house closes off the landscape

Early landscape planning can identify grading, access, drainage, utilities, views, structures, and mature trees while the broader project team can still act on them.

A master plan is a coordination document

Describe what the client’s actual master plan contains and how it is used by architects, builders, engineers, and landscape contractors.

Questions to resolve early

  • How will people move from inside to outside?
  • Where should grade changes occur?
  • Which views should open and which should be screened?
  • Where do water, power, gas, drainage, and equipment need to go?
  • Can the property be built in logical phases without undoing completed work?
