conceive, document, direct, enjoy

At Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects, our design process is divided into four stages:

The Conceive Stage

is the realm of ideas, when we get to know you and your site and come up with design sketches for the big picture vision and bold outlines of a project, attuned to your desires and budget.


The Document Stage

is when we make the one concept you've chosen come to life.  We research, engineer, and create drawings to share with you as we progress. At the same time, we're helping you accept bids and select your contractors.


The Direct Stage

finds us directing the work of your contractors, making sure that every plant, every path, every rock is of the highest value and in the proper place to make the design become reality.


The Enjoy Stage

is where you take over and begin living with your designed exterior. You'll find harmonious places to sit and relax while viewing from both inside and out. As the seasons progress you'll discover new delights the designers have created for you, spring fun, summer sociability, autumn brilliance and winter harmony –year-round pleasure.
