It’s easy to get help picking out paver patio options and figuring out pricing for your landscaping project. You can look through different patio products and price ranges right on the website, compare features, and add what you like to your quote. If you’re not sure which options are best, you can reach out and talk through what you want for your outdoor space—there’s no pressure and someone will guide you through choices, how the process works, and what fits your budget. Detailed estimates and suggestions are based on your project goals and the site conditions, so you can see all your options upfront before deciding.
From start to finish, the whole landscaping project can be handled, including the design and installation. That covers everything like retaining walls, patios, lawns, water features, lighting, and even outdoor audio systems. Projects are mapped out with you, so you get exactly what you want, all in one place—from the initial plan to the finished yard. You can pick and choose the features you need, and get help designing a space that fits your style and your budget.
You can get help with both choosing between rock and concrete block retaining walls and having them installed. Rock retaining walls give a natural, classic look and blend in well with outdoor landscapes, especially in more rustic or wooded settings. Concrete block walls are more uniform, strong, and can be built in different styles or colors for a modern or clean look. Both work well for holding back soil, making level spots, or as landscape features. The choice depends on your style, space, and budget. You get guidance on which one will work best for your yard, plus professional installation from start to finish.
Artificial turf installation is available, and there’s help deciding if synthetic turf or natural grass is right for your yard. Synthetic turf can give you a green, low-maintenance look all year without mowing or watering, which is great if you want to save on upkeep and water bills. Natural grass, on the other hand, brings a classic feel and supports local plant and animal life but does need regular care like mowing and irrigation. Factors like how much time you want to spend on maintenance, how you plan to use the space, water usage, and what kind of look you want are all considered to help you choose what fits your needs best.
The “build your quote” tool is set up so you can pick out the landscaping features you want, see available design options, and check the price range for each item. Just click on the features that interest you, like a water feature, patio, lighting, or turf, and add them to your quote as you go. This way, you can put together a custom plan for your landscape project and get a clear idea of the estimated cost based on your choices. If you run into any questions or want advice while using the tool, you can reach out through the website for help planning your project.
Irrigation installation is offered as part of complete landscaping projects and can be integrated with new lawns, whether natural grass or synthetic turf, as well as planting beds. The system is designed to match the specific needs of your new landscape, making sure your plants and lawn get efficient and even watering from the start. This integration helps support healthy growth and makes maintenance easier for you going forward.
Landscape lighting installation is available and can be included as part of a full landscape design and install. Different lighting options can be worked into your overall landscaping plan to highlight features, add safety, or create the kind of atmosphere you want in your outdoor space. All lighting is tailored to fit with the rest of your project, so if you want it, just let us know and it will be incorporated into your design and quote.
Water features like pondless waterfalls and fountains can definitely be installed and are a regular part of what we do. These features can be added to most existing landscapes, whether you want something small and simple or a custom design that stands out. They’re designed to fit right into the space you already have, making them a great option if you’re looking to upgrade your yard without starting over from scratch. Each installation is planned with your existing layout in mind, so your new water feature will blend in naturally and look like it’s always been there.
Artificial turf installation is available, and it’s a good solution if you want a low-maintenance lawn that stays green all year. Prices vary based on your yard’s size and specific needs, so it’s best to request a quote to get an accurate number for your situation.
Rock and concrete block retaining walls can be built and installed as part of a full landscaping project. Working with a retaining wall contractor usually starts with a conversation about what you need—like the shape, size, and purpose of the wall. After discussing ideas, the contractor will help you choose the right materials (such as natural rock or concrete blocks) and create a plan that fits both your yard and your budget. The process includes preparing the site, building a stable foundation, installing proper drainage, and carefully placing the materials so the wall lasts a long time and looks good. Retaining walls are often part of larger landscape designs to prevent soil erosion, manage slopes, create level spaces, or add interest to your property.
We design and install a range of water features, including garden ponds, pondless waterfalls, and fountains. There are different styles and sizes, so the price depends on what you choose.While we do have some pricing on our website to give you an idea of cost, it's best we schedule a consultation after you've looked at the pricing age. These water features are built to add a calm, natural touch to your yard, and you can browse more specific options and prices on our website before building your quote.
Outdoor audio systems can be included as part of a new landscape design. There are different audio package options, and they can be integrated into your outdoor living area along with things like patios, lighting, and water features. During the planning process, you can customize your project to add outdoor speakers or full audio systems that blend into the landscape seamlessly. This lets you enjoy music or ambience in your yard without visible wires or bulky equipment. Audio system installation is one of the add-ons you can select when building a quote for your project.
Yes, hardscape services like fire pits, steps, natural stone patios, concrete block and rock retaining walls, and concrete paver patios are offered as part of the overall landscaping projects. These features can be included in custom designs alongside plantings, water features, irrigation, lighting, and other elements to create a complete outdoor living space. Options can be mixed and matched, and you can see price ranges and product choices online to help plan your project.
Sustainable landscaping means creating outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and kind to the environment. This includes using native plants that thrive naturally in our local climate, reducing the need for extra water or chemicals. Efficient irrigation systems are installed to limit water waste. We also use eco-friendly materials, and care is taken to preserve existing trees and soil health when possible. Each project is designed to fit the natural features already there, instead of working against them. The whole process focuses on long-term health for the yard and the environment, from careful planning through installation.
Our landscape design process begins with an initial project review to make sure Brookside Landscape & Design is the right fit for your project.
When you first contact us, we'll ask for a description of your goals, photos or videos of the space, rough dimensions, equipment access, and your desired timeline. This helps us understand the scope of work and determine whether your project aligns with our services, which include landscape design-build, hardscapes, outdoor living spaces, water features, landscape lighting, and patios.
When possible, we provide a preliminary ballpark price range based on the information submitted. This helps determine whether the anticipated investment aligns with your expectations before scheduling an on-site consultation. For more complex projects, an on-site consultation is the first step.
During the consultation, we walk the property, discuss your goals, take site measurements, evaluate existing conditions and equipment access, and review materials, functionality, aesthetics, and investment expectations. Consultations are subject to a fee, which may be credited toward your project if Brookside is selected to complete the work.
After the consultation, we prepare a detailed proposal and, when appropriate, a custom landscape design. You'll have the opportunity to review the proposal, request revisions, and approve the final scope of work. Once approved and the required deposit is received, your project is added to our installation schedule.
Our installation team then manages every phase of construction—from site preparation and grading to hardscaping, planting, lighting, drainage, water features, and finishing details—keeping you informed throughout the process.
Working from a set budget is totally possible. The process usually starts by talking through your ideas and what’s most important to you. Certain features, like main pathways or basic lawn, are often good to start with, while things like extra water features, lighting, or custom audio can be added later. It helps to plan the overall design up front, even if everything isn’t installed right away. This way, the project can be broken into phases that fit your timeline and budget, making it easier to upgrade or add new features over time without redoing work.
Landscape lighting can be added to your existing yard even if you’re not doing a full landscape renovation. You can customize your lighting plan to highlight specific areas like walkways, patios, or garden beds. It’s a flexible service—whether you want to start small or gradually upgrade, there’s no need for a complete redesign just to get lighting installed.
Building a custom fire pit and seating area is definitely possible, and these features can be worked into a full project that also includes a patio and landscape lighting. It's common to combine these elements in one job to create a seamless outdoor living space. Custom options—like materials, shapes, and sizes—are available, so the design can fit your space and style. Adding lighting improves safety and makes the area usable at night, while pairing it with a paver or natural stone patio ties everything together. You can pick and choose which features you want and get a complete quote before work begins.
Pondless waterfalls and fountains can be installed as part of your landscaping project. These water features offer a soothing, natural look without needing a traditional pond, so there’s less standing water and usually fewer concerns about mosquitoes. Maintenance is pretty simple: you’ll need to check the pump every so often to make sure it’s working, keep an eye out for leaves or debris that could clog the filter, and occasionally top off the water since some will evaporate. It’s also a good idea to clean the pump and filter a couple of times a year to keep everything running smoothly. Overall, these features don’t require a ton of work, but a little attention now and then helps them look and work their best.
It’s no problem to start with a small landscape design package and add more features later. The “build your quote” tool lets you pick just what you want for now—like a simple lawn, a pond, or lighting—and you can always come back and add more to your plan when you’re ready. This way, you can manage your landscape project in steps that fit your budget or timeline, and everything can be upgraded as your needs or ideas grow.
