Design-Build

Our Design-Build Process

1Free Consultation

Every project begins with a complimentary consultation to learn more about your property, vision, priorities, and goals for the space.

We’ll discuss the features you’re considering—such as a custom pool, patio, outdoor kitchen, pavilion, landscaping, lighting, or other improvements—as well as your desired timeline and overall investment expectations.

This initial conversation allows us to understand the project and determine the best path forward.

2Initial Layout & Investment Proposal

Following the consultation, our team develops an initial conceptual layout and investment proposal.

This stage establishes the general direction of the project, defines the anticipated scope of work, and provides a preliminary cost range. Once the initial layout and investment proposal are approved, a 10% design deposit is submitted and the project advances into the design phase.

3Design, Permitting & Engineering

Our team develops and refines the design, including detailed 2D plans and 3D renderings as appropriate for the project. Materials, finishes, elevations, landscaping, pool features, structures, and other project details are finalized during this phase.

We also coordinate the necessary permitting and engineering requirements associated with the project. Depending on the scope, this may include zoning, grading, drainage and stormwater management, structural engineering, pool permitting, and other municipal requirements.

This phase concludes with a finalized design, required stamped plans, and approved permits, allowing the project to move confidently into construction.

4Construction & Project Management

A 50% construction deposit is due upon the start of construction, and our team begins coordinating the various phases of the build. Depending on the project, this may include demolition, excavation, grading, drainage, utilities, pool construction, masonry, hardscaping, outdoor structures, landscaping, and lighting.

Throughout construction, our team manages the project from start to finish, coordinating the different elements while maintaining communication with the homeowner and ensuring the work remains consistent with the approved design.

5Finalization & Project Turnover

As construction comes to completion, our team performs a comprehensive quality assurance and quality control review of the project.

Final details, adjustments, cleanup, and applicable system testing are completed before conducting a final walkthrough with the homeowner. We review the completed space, explain the operation and care of applicable features, provide relevant warranty and maintenance information, and formally turn the project over for you to enjoy.

One Team from Concept to Completion

One of the greatest advantages of a design-build approach is continuity.

Instead of the client coordinating separate designers, contractors, pool builders, masons, landscapers, engineers, and other trades, K&K Landscaping provides a single team to help manage your entire outdoor renovation.

This approach allows design decisions to remain connected to construction realities while helping maintain clear communication throughout the project.

From the first concept to the final planting, every phase is developed with the finished property in mind.
