FAQ
-
We work with firms of all shapes and sizes, but most of our clients are landscape architects, engineers, pool/deck/patio builders, and custom home builders. Some of our clients partner with us to create designs from scratch, and others partner with us to help get their already started designs completed and formatted in the right deliverables. We can also help with modeling, drafting and rendering on an as-needed basis by acting as an extension to your in-house design team.
-
The lifecycle of a residential design project is about 30 days. Our goal is to produce creative and functional design concepts as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality and attention to detail. Most of the time, our designers have a concept ready for review in under 30 days. Other tasks can take 1-6 weeks depending on complexity.
-
We can produce a design from scratch, or we can take your existing design or sketch and work from there to produce a completed design. Think of us as your design team, producing designs at all levels.
-
Scaled CAD plans are available. Our CAD plans include measurement callouts, material schedules for plants, pavers, block, and lighting, and elevation views when applicable. You can also request your plans to indicate site boundary, set back/easement data, survey/topography data, tree study data, and section/schematic views.

3 reasons why contractors partner with KD Outdoor Design
SAVE TIME ⌚
No more designing late at night and on the weekends. With KD Outdoor Design on your side you’re not stuck in front of the computer. We handle the design work while you spend time with the people you love.
How often do you meet with a homeowner, only to put off the design work needed to secure a signed contract? Weeks and months go by and your chances of winning that project decreases. When you partner with KD Outdoor Design, you get peace of mind. Because we’ll be expediting the designs while you work on other tasks within your business.
No more searching for, interviewing, and hiring sales and design staff. Partnering with our design team allows you to focus on the operations part of your business. Whether we are working with you directly, or a salesman/estimator on your team, rest assured we are available and ready whenever you need us. No call offs, no quitting, no vacation, you get the point.
INCREASE PROFITS 💰
When homeowners see a professional design that they love AND understand, they tend to spend more money on features that increase your profit margin. For example, let’s say you have a homeowner that wants a patio, seat wall, and fire pit. Imagine designing a space that also includes a grill island, pavilion, natural plantings, and outdoor lighting. Once a homeowner sees the real potential of their backyard, they can’t “unsee” it. This leads to higher ticket projects. Does more money for the same project sound good? With a high functioning design partnership, it becomes the norm.
It’s true, a project can be sold with no design, a simple sketch on a napkin, or something quickly thrown together on the computer. But consider this, your work is outstanding, why give a homeowner a reason to think otherwise because of a lack of professionalism? We believe curated, thorough, and professional looking designs set you apart from your competition. When homeowners are investing five and six figures to improve their quality of life, trust us, professionalism is everything.
IMPROVE EFFICIENCY 📈
Do you ever get excited after selling a really cool project, only to find out your foreman and installation team are confused on what is supposed to happen? You go out to the site and try to explain your ideas but by the time you leave all you want to do is pull your hair out? Stop doing it this way. Hand your team a set of professional construction plans so they know exactly what work lies ahead. Having plans will free up your time and equip your team with the information to do their jobs effectively. If you completed every installation this year 10% quicker, what would that do to your bottom line? What about 25% quicker?
Sales staff and estimators become faster and better at their jobs, securing more work for the company when they have professional design deliverables flowing throughout the entire year. Can your sales rep make more sales if he isn’t spending countless hours designing? Medium and large design/build firms partner with KD Outdoor Design to leverage time and resources for their sales and estimating staff. You can, too!
