Our Process

Landscape design plan showing a residential property layout with labeled elements including a house, garage, driveway, patio, seating area, and various plantings such as trees and shrubs. The design includes pathways, a hot tub, retaining walls, and specific areas for different plant species.

It all begins with an idea. Here at Carder’s Outdoor Living, we help navigate your idea into a reality. The journey starts with us and ends with your dreamscape. Before a shovel even touches your property, we provide detailed drawings to help bring your idea to life. It’s done with 5 easy steps.

  • Two men in an office setting, one pointing at a laptop, smiling and engaging in a discussion near a TV monitor and a stone wall display.

    STEP 1

    Meeting with the client – going over their ideas and the details they are looking for. 

  • Person measuring paving with a tape measure on grass.

    STEP 2

    Measuring your space to achieve the project of your dreams

  • Landscape design plan showing a residential garden layout with labeled areas for a patio, hot tub, various plants including rhododendron and bayberry, a proposed paver patio, and garage spaces with a parked car. Pathways, utility setbacks, and material specifications are also included.

    STEP 3

    Back to the office to put your design to paper. Provide a scale drawling and a 3D drawling

  • Foggy day at a construction site with a gravel pathway and a wooden deck supported by beams.

    STEP 4

    Construction!
