Home builders work in an environment where schedules, budgets, and client expectations must all move together. Landscape architecture is often the final piece in the process, yet it plays a major role in curb appeal, permitting, approvals, marketability, and the overall success of the home. I support builders by providing clear plans, dependable documentation, HOA and ARC submittals, drainage guidance, and client-ready designs that help projects move forward smoothly. My role is to simplify the exterior design process so you can stay focused on delivering quality homes on schedule. ​Builders rely on me for a wide range of support. Some need schematic designs for model homes and individual lots; others require community landscape plans, planting and irrigation plans, hardscape layouts, and site planning. I assist with HOA and ARC approval packages, drainage and grading guidance related to landscaping, entry features, streetscape design, tree preservation and risk assessment, environmental code interpretation, and construction-phase support. For custom or semi-custom buyers, I can provide client-facing presentations to help them understand and visualize their options. Whether you build a handful of homes or manage large production developments, I adapt to your workflow and provide the level of support your team needs. ​Thoughtful landscape architecture has a meaningful impact on market appeal, buyer satisfaction, HOA compliance, municipal requirements, and long-term maintenance. It also affects construction sequencing and cost predictability. When exterior planning is overlooked, issues often arise—incorrect plant placement, grading conflicts, drainage problems, overgrown or hazardous trees, failed HOA or ARC reviews, last-minute redesigns, or buyers feeling unsure about what they are getting. A coordinated landscape strategy prevents these problems and leads to a smoother, more predictable construction process and a more polished finished product. ​My process is designed specifically for the pace and demands of home building. We begin with a review of your plans, lots, elevations, and community standards. From there, I prepare schematic designs that work with your setbacks, architectural styles, and preferences. Once a direction is established, I develop clean, scaled plans suitable for construction or homeowner review. I also prepare and manage HOA and ARC submissions, help coordinate site conditions, offer on-site guidance, and assist with buyer selections when needed. Builders consistently tell me this approach reduces rework, keeps projects on track, and improves communication with clients and reviewers. My fee strategy is simple and predictable. Most builder-support projects are offered as a flat fee based on the scope of work and typically include one or two revisions. This makes costs easy to understand and helps you manage budgets across multiple lots or phases. Larger or multi-phase developments may require a different structure, but the goal is always the same—clarity, transparency, and practical value for your business. ​This service is ideal for residential home builders, custom builders, semi-custom and production builders, design-build firms, subdivision developers, and any builder offering landscape allowances or upgrade packages. If you want clean plans, predictable approvals, and a reliable design partner, this service fits well into your process. ​My support for home builders is shaped by decades of practical experience and a broad mix of professional skills. I bring more than thirty years of landscape architecture and design-build experience, hold a multi-state landscape architecture license, and am also licensed in ornamental horticulture. My background as a licensed Realtor gives me additional insight into buyer expectations, curb appeal, and the marketability of design. I have extensive experience with drainage, tree preservation, and code compliance, allowing me to help builders deliver homes that are attractive, efficient to maintain, and aligned with community standards. ​If you want clear landscape plans, predictable approvals, or steady design support for your building process, I would be glad to help.
