What’s Included in Our Landscape Design Services
Our landscape design process covers every detail of your outdoor space, from plant placement to hardscape integration. Each design package includes:
- Custom plant selection based on Murfreesboro's climate, soil conditions, and your aesthetic preferences
- Layout planning for garden beds, walkways, lawn areas, and transition zones
- Hardscape integration recommendations including paver patios, retaining walls, fire features, and outdoor kitchens
- Irrigation planning to ensure your plantings thrive through Middle Tennessee's hot summers and variable rainfall
- Seasonal color strategy so your landscape looks great year-round, not just in spring
- Curb appeal analysis to maximize your home's visual impact from the street
Our Landscape Design Process — From Concept to Final Plan
Step 1: Free Consultation
We start with a conversation. Our designer meets with you to learn about your vision, lifestyle, and budget. Do you want a low-maintenance landscape for a busy household? A show-stopping front yard? An entertainer’s backyard with outdoor kitchen and seating? We listen first.
Step 2: Property & Site Analysis
Before any design work begins, we evaluate your property in person. We assess soil quality, drainage patterns, sun exposure throughout the day, and any existing structures or plants worth preserving. This step ensures your landscape design works with your land, not against it.
Step 3: Custom Design Draft
Using the information gathered on-site, we build your personalized landscape plan. This includes a full layout showing plant locations, hardscape features, and focal points — along with plant species recommendations, estimated growth sizes, and seasonal bloom schedules.
Step 4: Review & Refinements
We walk you through the design in detail and welcome your feedback. Want to swap a plant species? Add a water feature? Adjust the patio shape? This is the stage where we fine-tune everything until the design reflects exactly what you’ve envisioned.
Step 5: Final Landscape Plan
Once approved, you receive a complete, ready-to-build landscape design plan. This document guides our installation team — or can be shared with any contractor you choose to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions About Landscape Design in Murfreesboro
How long does the landscape design process take?
Most landscape design projects take one to two weeks from initial consultation to final plan delivery, depending on the size and complexity of the property. Larger commercial or multi-zone residential designs may take slightly longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline estimate during your consultation.
Can you design a low-maintenance landscape for a busy homeowner?
Yes — and it’s one of our most requested design approaches. We specialize in selecting native and adaptive plants that thrive in Murfreesboro’s climate with minimal intervention. We’ll also plan your layout to reduce mowing, watering, and pruning demands so your landscape stays beautiful without requiring constant attention.
Do you provide 3D renderings or sketches of the design?
Yes, we provide visual representations of your landscape design so you can see how your space will look before a single plant goes in the ground. This helps you make confident decisions and ensures the final result matches your vision.
Do you offer both residential and commercial landscape design?
Yes. We work with homeowners, HOAs, and commercial property managers throughout the Murfreesboro area. Whether you need a welcoming front entrance for a business or a complete residential backyard transformation, our team has the experience to deliver.

We do. Elite Lawn & Landscape is a full-service landscaping company, meaning we can take your project from design all the way through installation. Working with one team from start to finish ensures your landscape is built exactly as designed.
