Design and installation, start to finish.
Front and back yard plans
A layout for the whole space or one problem area.

Plant choices and placement for year-round interest.
Sod and new lawns
Fresh turf on prepared and graded soil.
Garden beds and borders
New beds cut, shaped, edged, and planted.
Mulch, gravel, and bark
Ground cover that holds moisture and cuts weeding.
Grading and soil prep
Reshaping and amending soil so plantings last.
Chosen for the Pacific Northwest.
Wet winters, dry summers, and clay-heavy soil rule out a lot of what looks good at the garden center. Farias Landscape works from a palette that holds up here and reads well in every season.
- Evergreen structure so the yard is not bare in winter
- Low-water plants for the summer dry stretch
- Native options where they fit the design
- Right plant, right spot, so it is not fighting the site
How a design project runs.
Site visit and measurements
We walk the yard with you, note sun and shade through the day, check drainage and soil, and measure the areas in play. This is also where we talk budget honestly, before any drawing happens.
The plan and plant list
You get a layout, a plant list with sizes and quantities, and the materials, along with the estimate. Adjust it as much as you want at this stage. Changes on paper are free.
Installation
Once you approve, we schedule the build: clearing, grading and soil prep, hardscape materials, planting, then mulch and cleanup. Most residential projects take one to five working days on site.
Establishment period
New plantings need consistent water for the first season. We set watering guidance, and maintenance clients get the new beds folded into the regular route.
Landscape design questions.
Cost depends on the size of the area, how much needs to be removed first, and the plants and materials chosen. A small bed refresh and a full backyard build are very different numbers. Farias Landscape prices each project after a site visit and gives you an itemized estimate.
