Landscape Design & Build
Custom landscape design in Orange County
From concept to completion, one team designs and builds outdoor spaces that fit how you live — beautiful, water-wise, and made to last. Serving Newport Beach and Orange County since 1987.
What Custom Design Includes
More than a pretty picture — a complete plan for your property
Custom landscape design isn’t just choosing plants. It’s a coordinated plan that solves how your whole outdoor space looks, functions, drains, and grows — so every element works together and your budget is spent on purpose. Here’s exactly what a design from All Seasons covers.
Site analysis & grading
We read your soil, sun, slope, and drainage before a single plant is chosen — so the design works with your property, not against it.
Custom layout & concept
A plan built around how you actually live — zones for gathering, relaxing, and play, scaled to your lot.
Plant palette
Climate-appropriate, drought-tolerant planting grouped by water need for a lush, efficient, year-round landscape.
Materials & hardscape
Paving, walls, and finishes chosen to suit your home and the coastal setting.
Irrigation & drainage
Smart, water-wise irrigation and proper drainage designed in from the start — never bolted on later.
Lighting plan
Layered low-voltage lighting so the space is safe, usable, and glows after dark.
Itemized estimate
A clear, transparent, line-item estimate so you see exactly where the budget goes before anything is built.
Phasing plan (optional)
Build it all at once or in stages — one master plan keeps every phase coherent.
Design Styles
Styles that suit the Newport Beach coast
Not sure what look you want? These are the styles we design most across coastal Orange County — and we’ll tailor any of them to your home, your site, and our water-wise climate.
Coastal Modern
Clean lines, board-formed concrete, warm woods, and sculptural drought-tolerant planting — the indoor-outdoor look that suits contemporary Newport Beach homes.
Mediterranean & Spanish
Olive trees, gravel courtyards, lavender, and a tiered fountain — timeless, water-wise, and a natural fit for the Spanish-revival architecture across the coast.
California Native & Drought-Tolerant
Ceanothus, salvia, and ornamental grasses with boulders and DG paths — the lowest-water, pollinator-friendly look, built for our climate and water rules.
Tropical / Resort
Palms, bird of paradise, and lush layered greenery for a private, resort-style retreat — popular on larger Newport Coast estates.
Why It Pays Off
Good design is one of the best investments in your home
A professionally designed landscape isn’t just better to live with — it’s consistently among the highest-return improvements a homeowner can make.
One Cohesive Plan
Every element, designed and built by one team
A complete landscape brings these disciplines together into a single plan — no gaps, no finger-pointing between a designer and a separate contractor. Explore each part of what we design and build.

FAQ
Landscape design questions, answered
What's the difference between a landscape designer and a landscape architect?
Landscape architects are state-licensed and typically required for large commercial or structural projects. A design-build landscaper like All Seasons designs and installs residential and light-commercial landscapes — planting, hardscape, irrigation, drainage, and lighting under one roof — which is the right fit for most homeowners.
Do you provide a design or plan I can see before building?
Yes. You approve a clear design and an itemized, line-item estimate before any construction begins — so you know exactly what will be built and what it costs, with no surprises.
Can I build my landscape in phases?
Absolutely. We create one master plan, then build the structural bones first (grading, drainage, hardscape, irrigation) and add planting and finishes over time, so the budget stretches without anything having to be undone later.
Is there a separate design fee?
As a design-build landscaper we fold the design into a single, transparent project estimate rather than charging a separate fee. Our landscape design cost guide breaks down realistic 2026 ranges by project type.
How involved will I be in the design?
As involved as you want to be. We start from how you live, bring you options at the decisions that matter (style, materials, planting), and handle the technical details so it all works together.
How long does a landscape design project take?
Design typically takes a couple of weeks depending on scope and revisions; installation varies with the size of the build and material lead times. You get a clear schedule once the design and estimate are approved.
