Landscape Design in Boise, Idaho
A thoughtfully designed landscape is more beautiful, more functional, and easier to maintain. Let's design yours.
Professional Landscape Design for Boise & Treasure Valley Homes
Great landscapes don't happen by accident. They start with a great design. At Fine Grade Landscapes, our design process ensures that every element of your outdoor space works together: hardscape and softscape, sun and shade, privacy and views, maintenance needs and aesthetic goals. We produce detailed plans that give you a clear picture of the finished result before any work begins.
- Site analysis: sun, shade, drainage, views, existing features
- 2D design plans with plant lists, material specs, and dimensions
- Design-build approach: the same team that designs builds your project
- Phased project planning for budget-conscious renovations
- Plant selection optimized for Idaho's climate
- Integration of hardscape, irrigation, and lighting from the start
Our Design Services
Initial Consultation
We start by listening. What do you want to do in this space? Entertain? Garden? Play? Relax? Your goals drive every design decision. We also assess sun angles, drainage, access, and existing features.
Concept Design
We develop an overall concept showing how the space could be organized (where the patio goes, how the planting beds flow, where paths lead, etc). This is a communication tool to make sure we're aligned before moving to detail.
2D Design Plan
A scaled overhead drawing showing all hardscape, planting beds, irrigation zones, and key dimensions. Includes a plant list with botanical names, sizes, and placement notes.
Material Selection
We help you choose paver styles, stone colors, wood species, plant varieties, and other materials, showing you real samples and photos of completed projects so you can visualize the result.
Phased Planning
If your full vision exceeds your current budget, we design the complete project in phases so each stage looks finished and sets up seamlessly for what comes next.
Design-Build
The same Fine Grade team that designed your project builds it. This eliminates the communication gap between a design firm and a separate contractor. And it holds one team accountable for the result.
