Our Process
A Thoughtful Journey to Bespoke Outdoor Living
At Opulands, every landscape begins as a conversation — and evolves into a carefully crafted outdoor environment designed for how you truly live.
We believe exceptional spaces are not rushed. They are considered, refined, and executed with quiet precision.
01 - Discovery
Listening Before Designing
We begin on site, walking your property together.
We observe the architecture.
The way light moves across the garden.
The scale of the home.
The rhythms of your daily life.
We listen carefully — to how you entertain, where you unwind, how your family gathers.
This phase is not about selling. It is about understanding.
"I loved how they listened carefully, made helpful suggestions, but didn't push anything onto us. I knew I wanted a sitting wall to line the patio and what that would look like, but they suggested the shape and distance from the house that was different than what I thought, but made perfect sense and now I love the look and feel of the space."
"What we particularly liked was that they listened carefully and every conversation was two-way. Their ideas were very creative and original and the design represented exactly what we discussed."
02 - Alignment
Where Vision Meets Intention
Whether you arrive with architectural plans or an emerging idea, we bring clarity to the vision.
We collaborate with designers and architects seamlessly, ensuring that material selections, structural requirements, and spatial flow translate beautifully from paper to reality.
We refine expectations around:
- Craft quality
- Material longevity
- Budget alignment
- Project phasing
This stage ensures that when we build, we build with confidence.
03 - Refinement
Elevating the Details
True luxury lives in the details. Before construction begins, we coordinate trades, review structural elements, confirm finishes, and secure materials.
Masonry, carpentry, planting, lighting, irrigation — every discipline is considered as part of a cohesive composition.
Nothing is improvised. Everything is intentional.
"They worked with us to prepare a design that really worked for our front yard & our budget. They iterated on designs with input from us, and showed us a rendering so that we could understand the final project better. Of all the quotes that we got, the quote from Opulands was by far the most complete & best value for money."
"I am a landscape designer who works with Opulands on some of their projects, and I can attest to the fact that Opulands is a fantastic landscape contractor. Everything turns out even more beautiful than I imagined!"
04 - Craft
Bringing the Landscape to Life
Construction is where vision becomes tactile.
Our craftsmen approach each project with care — respecting your home, your time, and your trust.
You will experience:
- Thoughtful communication
- Clean and organized workspaces
- Measured progress
- Steady leadership throughout the build
We do not simply install landscapes. We shape environments meant to endure.
Completion
The Final Walkthrough
When the last stone is set and the final planting is placed, we walk the space with you.
We fine-tune lighting. Adjust irrigation. Review maintenance and seasonal evolution.
And then we step back — allowing the landscape to begin its life.
On time. On budget.
When you work with a partner who understands the project requirements in their entirety and the costs associated with those requirements, you can count on your project staying on time and on budget.
In addition, to ensure you know upfront the cost of your entire landscape design project, we are transparent and provide you with an estimate of the ancillary expenses that you may incur. We pay attention to the smallest detail and cover those details in our estimates.
