How Long Does a Landscape Design Take? A Week-by-Week Timeline

A landscape design with Davida Landscape Designs takes roughly one month from start to finish. The process begins with an on-site consultation, followed by two preliminary 3D designs delivered within 10 to 15 days. After you review the options and work through revisions with us, the final design is completed about a week later. Your timeline can shift slightly depending on how quickly you review the designs and share feedback.

You’ll receive two preliminary 3D landscape designs. Each option shows a different approach to your property, so you can compare layouts, materials, and planting ideas side by side. Many homeowners like parts of both designs, and that’s exactly what the revision stage is for. We can combine elements from each option into one final plan that fits how you want to use your outdoor space.

Design revisions happen by email or in person, depending on what works best for you. After you review your two preliminary 3D designs, you share what you like and what you’d change. We then refine the plan based on your feedback, whether that means adjusting a patio, rerouting a walkway, or changing plant selections. Once revisions are settled, your final design is ready in about a week.

You should start the landscape design process at least a month before you’d like construction to begin. Design takes roughly four weeks from consultation to final plan, so starting early gives you time to review options without rushing. Many Fairfield County homeowners begin planning in the off-season so their design is finished and ready when the building season arrives in spring.

No, the one-month timeline covers the design phase only. It runs from your first consultation through your final 3D landscape design. Construction timing depends on the scope of your project, such as stonework, planting beds, or a full outdoor renovation. Once your final design is approved, we can discuss scheduling the build with the same in-house team that created your plan.
