Our Vision

The inspiration behind our distinguished landscape design services is our passion for outdoor living. We love being outside, and we want our clients to enjoy it as much as we do. Our landscape design team all share a common love for sitting around a firepit, talking with our kids and family, and grilling food outdoors on the patio while hosting friends. Making these great moments effortless, ideal, and beautiful for our clients is what we have the privilege of doing every day at PLANT Design + Build.
