Landscape &

Pool Designs

Landscape design is the planning and development of outdoor spaces that balance aesthetics, function, and site conditions. Our design services include site analysis, conceptual layouts, material selection, planting plans, and construction drawings — creating a clear roadmap for a cohesive, well-executed outdoor environment.

A backyard transformation is too important to leave to chance. Our landscape design process gives you clarity before construction begins.

See your space before it’s built. We will create clear, detailed plans and realistic visuals so your project is efficient, organized, and stress-free from the start.

Step 2: Create Your Layout

Alderland transforms your backyard by integrating features into a tailored layout that fits your space and lifestyle. We create distinct "outdoor rooms" with defined zones, such as a pool with spa and lounge for relaxation, separate from outdoor kitchens and dining for entertaining. Fire pits, pergolas, sport courts, and bocce areas serve specific functions, ensuring harmony and flow. Our expertise balances aesthetics and functionality for a beautiful, organized backyard that maximizes enjoyment.

Step 3: Create A Theme

Alderland unifies outdoor design by blending matching materials, colors, and styles. From the first consultation, our designers align with the client’s vision and lifestyle to set a clear aesthetic. Whether modern, rustic, or Mediterranean, we select stone, wood, metal finishes, and plants that harmonize. We design all outdoor spaces—pools, patios, pergolas, fire pits, and kitchens—for a consistent, cohesive look. Thoughtful color coordination ties architectural details and landscapes together. Alderland crafts timeless, inviting backyards that reflect each client’s unique taste.

Next Step: On to Construction!

Alderland’s 3-step design process ensures a seamless, collaborative approach that brings your vision to life. By understanding your needs, creating detailed plans, and refining designs through expert consultation, we deliver a personalized backyard that exceeds expectations. This method reduces surprises and boosts efficiency, leading to a stunning, functional outdoor space. After design, we handle permitting and construction with skilled management and craftsmanship.
