Design Build Service for Your Business

We'll oversee your landscape transformation from planning and design through implementation to create your ideal landscape.

Our design professionals will start by creating your customized conceptual site plan that blends water-harvesting features, native pollinator-friendly gardens, and artistic and practical landscape features that make the most of your on-site water resources.

Then, WMG staff will create a phased plan to install your systems and oversee all phases of implementation to ensure the function and quality of the work meets our standards. The Design Build service can be used to install any of these available project packages: Rain Garden, Rain Tanks, Green Infrastructure, and Urban Orchard. We will tailor our service to your needs by combining and customizing these packages to suit your site and landscape goals.
