"Donna was a pleasure to work with. She listened to our ideas regarding a drought tolerant and edible landscape, and came back with a beautifully designed yard space. The digital renderings made it extremely easy to envision what the finished yard would look like, and were invaluable in our decision making process. On top of that Donna completed the design very swiftly and was very affordable. If you're debating hiring a designer, do yourself a favor and work with Donna! The investment was well worth her expertise and design. Thanks so much for your help!" - Steve K., Phelan CA
Online Landscape Design for California and Arizona
CAD Landscape Plans, Virtual 3D Landscape Rendering, Digital Landscape Photo Imaging
Drafted scale drawings of hardscape features (patios, paths, walls, pergolas, etc), water features, plants and lighting, using professional CAD software, result in precise, easy to read plans. During the *design process, photo imaging or 3D rendering software is used as a design tool to
aid in visualizing the proposed finished product. Unique plant palettes are created for each client based on location, personal taste and unique site conditions.
*Web conferencing is used to conduct online meetings during the design development process. Clients are invited to view my computer desktop where I am able to display plant
palette photos, site photos, the CAD plan, imaging photos or 3D renderings. In addition, we are able to visit websites pertinent to the plants or materials used in the design.
Visit the Design page to view examples of Online Landscape Design projects as well as other examples of Landscape Photo Imaging and Virtual 3D Rendering. Visit the Projects page to view examples of projects that have been implemented in the past. Visit the Site page to start thinking about considerations to be addressed while designing your landscape.
Please submit the questionnaire form at the bottom of the page. Please send photos of your yard to donna@lynnlandscapedesign.com.
***If you aren't in possession of a scale drawing, site plan of your property, I recommend that you obtain one from an online site such as www.24hplans.com. I suggest the Complex version for $169.99. In order to proceed with a design, I would need a detailed site plan indicating house on the lot, driveway, existing plants and any other information that would be necessary in order to get started.
