Landscape  Planning & Design-Build

Whether it’s a residential or small commercial space, public park, or private garden, a landscape plan is where it all begins.

At formecology LLC, landscape design serves as the foundation of our design-build process and guides how we create outdoor spaces that are functional, cohesive, and connected to the natural environment.


A well-designed landscape plan is a valuable investment for any property. Without a clear plan, it’s difficult to create a sustainable outdoor space without costly or avoidable mistakes. Good landscape design goes beyond selecting plants—it’s about organizing the right elements for long-term performance, visual balance, and ecological health.


Our design and construction process is integrated from the start, ensuring every project is planned for successful installation and long-term performance. The result is landscape plans that move seamlessly into construction, creating a smoother process and more lasting outcomes.


Our team brings experience in landscape architecture, ecological restoration, and horticulture, along with extensive hands-on field knowledge. This allows us to create landscape plans that are practical, sustainable, and well-suited to each site.



We begin the landscape planning process with an initial email exchange and a series of guiding questions to better understand your project goals, site conditions, and budget. This allows us to approach the initial meeting with clarity and purpose, after which we prepare a design proposal outlining our services and associated costs.

To ensure successful outcomes, formecology LLC has developed the Conceptual Landscape Master Plan (CLMP) process, creating ecologically focused designs tailored to site conditions while aligning with your goals and budget.

Advantages of a CLMP

Working with us to develop a Conceptual Landscape Master Plan (CLMP) offers several key benefits:


  • A skilled and experienced design team creates a cohesive, site-specific plan tailored to your property and goals.
  • A long-term vision for the entire site, helping you make informed decisions about installation, phasing, and future maintenance.
  • Greater efficiency and value when the project is carried through our design-build process, reducing the need for additional redesign or coordination.


At formecology LLC, we put tremendous effort into every project we undertake. We work closely with each client to understand their goals, needs, and vision for their landscape.

Conceptual Landscape Master Plan

Design fees vary based on project size and complexity. For most residential work, design is a modest upfront investment that guides projects through to installation. Smaller designs are more streamlined, while full master plans require a more comprehensive approach, with design costs often integrated into the broader project scope when moving forward with construction.
