The Plan Comes First. Then the Shovels.

WesCo plans the whole property before anything moves. You see the layout, the plant list and the price together, and nothing gets bought until you have signed off on it.

The layout, the plant list with sizes, where the beds fall and how it phases if you are not doing it all at once. You see it before anything gets bought.

Three things decide whether a plant lives. How much sun that spot actually gets, what the soil holds, and where the water goes in a hard rain. All three get checked on site.

The plant in the pot is not the plant in three years. Spacing is set for what it becomes, which is why a new bed looks a little sparse and a good one looks right by season two.

Property size, how much is being reworked, and whether hardscape is involved. The plan itself is a fixed number before any planting is quoted.

Not every property has to be done at once. A plan lets you do the front this year and the back next, without the two halves looking like different houses.

Landscape design explained

Why does a piece-by-piece yard look pieced together?

Because each piece was decided on its own. A bed here, a tree there, all of it sensible in isolation and none of it agreeing. We work out the whole property at once, sun and drainage and grade and mature plant size, and show you the plan before a shovel moves. Changing a drawing costs nothing. Changing a planted bed costs a season.
Two things people underestimate. Mature size, because the plant in the pot is not the plant in three years, and drainage, because Florida rain will find every low spot you did not plan for.

How it works

How we plan your landscape.

1.

We walk the yard

We walk it with you and listen. What you want it to look like, and what you want to spend.

2.

Sun, soil, drainage

We map what the yard actually gives us before choosing a single plant.

3.

The plan on paper

A layout you can hold, with plants named and placed, so you know exactly what you are approving.

4.

Priced and phased

One price for the whole plan, or phases in an order that will not undo earlier work.
