WHAT YARDZEN CLIENTS ARE SAYING…
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Great experience with the design team. I previously attempted to design my own yard and quickly left it to the pros after realizing all of the nuances involved for picking plants that will survive in my climate and not require too much work.”
Elizabeth M., Livermore, CA

★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Yardzen helped me create an amazing backyard plan. They listened to what I wanted, were thorough and created a beautiful plan for me. Yardzen also saved me a few thousand dollars as well. Local landscape architects were thousands more. I have already referred several friends and interior design professionals to pass on to clients.”
Margaret C., Oak Harbor, WA

“Super happy with the result. The team I was paired up with was super responsive and spot on with their design based on what me and my wife were looking for. They also paired us with a great local contractor. Win-win.’
Hansel L., Miami, FL
Google Review
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“If you're hesitant to use an online service for your yard design, I encourage you to give Yardzen a try. We had our backyard redesigned and the final design is everything we wanted—and more! The process was very guided, never felt overwhelming, and the communication from our design team was excellent. From a price stand-point, they were less expensive then some local designers that I received bids from and the final drawings and renders are detailed and accurate. Plus, the renders are beautiful and really helped us finalize our decisions on various designs.”
Anthony P., Gresham, OR

“Easy to use, quick turnaround time, designs look great and are filled with native, low-maintenance botanicals like I wanted. I would not hesitate to recommend Yardzen to anyone!”
Melissa H., Central Lake, MI
Google Review
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“I originally tried working with a local contractor to discuss some upgrades to our backyard, but found it very difficult to get any designs or even enough bids from contractors. I loved the entire Yardzen process. Their platform was very easy to use and comprehensive. I loved that we had someone that we could speak to throughout the design process if we had any questions even though it was 100% virtual. I am so excited to continue the next steps and bring the design to life. I thought the pricing was reasonable for the amount of work they put into the designs.”

ONLINE LANDSCAPE DESIGN FAQS
-
Professional landscape designers are pros at reimagining yards, efficiently creating and communicating new landscape visions to achieve the look, feel, and function that homeowners’ want while remaining attuned to the local climate and landscape.
While DIY landscape or garden design can work for those with experience and time, it often leads to budget creep and higher final project costs. Too often, piecemeal design and installation results in hodgepodge spaces with poor flow, inconsistent style, and unhappy plants.
High quality landscapes can add up to 20% to your property value as well increase your quality of life at home and time spent outside, benefits that greatly outweigh the fee to hire a professional designer for your home improvement project.
Learn more about the benefits of using a professional vetted landscape designer.
-
The designers on our team are experts in their industry with proven experience creating high end custom outdoor spaces across a variety of climates and styles.
We keep the bar high and only bring on designers that have demonstrated excellent design ability and technical and communication skills necessary to create custom landscape designs that meet our standards and that our clients will be thrilled with.
Designers take on projects based on how well their expertise aligns with your project details like region, style preference, and desired functionality—and collaboration with our customer success and project management teams ensures that you get continuous communication throughout the design process and receive a finished design that exceeds your expectations.
Yardzen is committed to the personal and professional development of our landscape designers, who participate in continuing education and coaching from experts in design, horticulture, and construction fields.
If you’re searching for a local landscape designer on your own, be sure to vet them in a similar way. Ask about their credentials and references from past clients. See if they can share examples of past design deliverables for projects similar to yours, and what the design process and communication looks like from start to finish.
-
Landscape architects must hold a degree in landscape architecture from an accredited university program and earn a license from their state by passing licensure examinations. Landscape architects work on a wide range of projects, often focusing on larger scale work like public spaces, campuses, and residential developments, as well as ecological restoration projects of all scales.
Landscape designers are experts at residential design, with deep knowledge of plant and hardscape materials underpinning strong skills in the creation of outdoor spaces for functional and aesthetic aims. While Yardzen has landscape architects on staff, not all of our designers are licensed landscape architects. To communicate their design concepts, landscape designers at Yardzen deliver full-color 3D renderings, along with lists of plants, materials, and furnishings selected for use in the design. They also provide 2D plan drawings, indicating plant and material selections—these drawings are crucial references during the installation process.
-
There are many benefits to online landscape design including cost, accessibility, and convenience. Our clients often share that they were able to receive a higher quality design faster and at lower cost than what they’ve received working with busy local landscaping companies.
How are we able to do this? Using photos and videos of your property, your answers to our style and plant-preferences quiz, and satellite imagery to assess sun and shade patterns throughout the day, we’ll create a feedback-ready landscape design tailored to your region, preferences, and unique property.
We've built a world-class database of plants, trees, and groundcovers that match up to planting zones, sun, shade, and water requirements, styles, and special features, like "deer-proof," "non-toxic for pets,'' and "year-round interest” that makes it easy for our designers to include the right plants for your project. Our designs are reviewed by an expert horticulturalist who makes the final calls when choosing your design's plant palette.
Our database also includes hardscape materials and popular amenities like water features, fire pits, pavers, patios, walkways, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, swimming pools, decks, and furniture for outdoor living spaces from partners like Crate & Barrel, Yardbird, TimberTech, and Solo Stove, allowing the dream yard in your design to truly come to life.
Exceptional customer experience is one of our core values. Our team is full of experts in everything from native plants in your zone to the cost of building the yard features you want. We can solve any question and will be with you from the start of the design process until the last plant is in the ground.
-
Our design packages range in price from $649 to $2395. Whether you’re looking to redesign your front yard, backyard, or start a full exterior design project to level-up your curb appeal, we have a package that meets your needs.
-
The national average cost to build a landscape from our professional designs is $30,000, but that number depends entirely on what landscape features you include, the size of your yard, and what you plan to repurpose. Because of this, we regularly work with budgets from $15,000 to $150,000 or more. Read more about understanding landscaping costs.
