In this day and age, Computer Aided Design (CAD) is readily available and several industries have taken advantage of it. While it creates a sharper, more accurate drawing, our process always starts with hand-drawn designs. These conceptual designs allow us to analyze your space and determine what areas would work best for design elements such as outdoor fireplaces, pergolas, or even pools. By laying out your project through pen and paper, we’re able to determine a closer level of detail for your outdoor living space and establish which spaces work best for your features.
