Three reasons: You save 20% by locking in 2025 pricing before rates increase. Spring is when everyone realizes they want their outdoor space ready for summer, by then our calendar fills quickly and you're looking at 2027 availability. And, if you want to be using your new garden by summer 2026, we need to start the design process now. Winter design means spring construction means summer enjoyment. Wait until spring and you've missed the season entirely.

To kick off your project, simply send us a note at hello@be.land with some details about your vision. Our design team will reach out to schedule an initial phone call. We’re excited to hear about your ideas, learn about your family, how you like to entertain, and your outdoor lifestyle. During this call, we’ll explain our process and make sure we’re a great fit for each other. If it seems like we’re on the same page, we’ll arrange a garden walkthrough to explore how we can bring your vision to life.

Pay a 50% deposit before December 29th to lock in the $125/hr design fee. For a typical 70-hour project, that's a $4,375 deposit to secure $8,750 total pricing. The remaining balance is due when your design is complete. Your rate stays locked at $125/hour regardless of when the design work happens, even if we don't start until spring or summer 2026.

Your 2025 pricing is locked in once you pay the deposit. Life happens, if you need to delay the design work, we'll work with you on timing. The deposit is non-refundable, but your rate stays at $125/hour no matter when we actually start. Whether we begin in March 2026 or January 2027, you're protected from price increases.

Most comprehensive landscape projects range from $100,000-$250,000 depending on scope. We also work on smaller focused projects starting around $50,000 and larger installations with pools and pool houses.

The design phase (what you're locking in with 2025 pricing) typically requires 70 hours at $8,750 for most residential properties. This gives you complete, buildable design documentation: planting plans, hardscape plans, grading and drainage solutions, and materials specifications.

With a complete design in hand, you can choose to build with Blueprint Earth or use any contractor. Either way, you have a clear roadmap that ensures your investment gets executed properly.

Absolutely. Most clients phase their projects over time. We start with a complete design for your entire property, then prioritize construction based on what matters most to you and your budget. We typically recommend phases of $20,000 or more to ensure we're solving complete problems: addressing drainage in one phase, building the entertaining space in another, installing plantings in a third. This approach gives you functional, finished areas rather than half-completed work across your whole property.

We prioritize native plants because they're proven performers in Portland's climate, require less maintenance once established, and support the birds, pollinators, and wildlife that make your garden feel alive. That said, we also incorporate adapted plants that thrive here without extra resources. Our goal is a garden that looks beautiful and functions brilliantly with minimal intervention from you. We design for how you want to live, not dogma.

Yes. If you already have design documentation from another firm, we can provide construction services. We'll review the plans to ensure they're buildable and address any technical issues we identify (grading, drainage, material specifications). Our construction team follows the design while applying our expertise in stormwater management and site execution to ensure the project functions as intended.
