Whether you want to redesign your front yard, transform your backyard into an outdoor space for entertaining, add custom patios and outdoor kitchens, or integrate water features into your landscape, our team handles the entire project from initial consult to finished install.
Our Landscape Design Process
Every landscape design project starts with a free on-site consult. We walk the property with the homeowners, listen to your ideas and goals for the outdoor space, take measurements, and check site conditions like sun exposure, drainage, and soil. From there we build a design that fits your home, your budget, and how you want to use the yard.
Step 1: Free Consult and Site Visit
Reach out by phone, email, or through the Facebook page to set up a free consult. Submitting a request starts the process. We visit the property, listen to your ideas, and ask questions to find out what you want the finished landscape to look and feel like. Most homeowners have a Pinterest board, a few photos, or a rough vision. We translate those ideas into a design that works for your specific site.
Step 2: Custom Design
Our team draws a complete landscape design based on your goals, the location of the home, and how the backyard or front yard fits into the overall property. We choose plants that thrive in Collinsville, IL conditions, select hardscape that complements your home, and lay out custom patios, walkways, and water features where they add the most value. Design fees are credited back if you choose Sanchez for the installation.
Step 3: Material Selection
Once the design feels right, we walk through material selection together. Pavers, stone, mulch, plants, lighting, and any custom features get spec'd out so there are no surprises. Homeowners see exactly what is going into the project before any work starts.
Step 4: Installation
Installation kicks off on the agreed start date. Our team handles every step: site prep, grading, hardscape installation, plant installation, mulch, irrigation if needed, and final cleanup. We walk the finished space with you before we leave to ensure every detail matches the design.
Landscape Design Services We Offer
Front Yard Landscape Design
Front yard landscape design is about curb appeal and the first impression visitors get of your home. We design entry walkways, foundation plantings, decorative beds, and accent lighting that complement your home's architecture and the Metro East neighborhood feel.
Backyard Landscape Design
Backyard landscape design focuses on how you actually use the outdoor space. Whether you want a quiet retreat, an entertainment-ready yard with custom patios and outdoor kitchens, or a kid-friendly play area, we design the backyard around your lifestyle.
Custom Patios and Hardscape
Paver patios, natural stone patios, and custom outdoor living areas. Our hardscape expertise extends to retaining walls, walkways, fire pits, and built-in seating. Patios are graded for proper drainage and built to handle Illinois freeze-thaw cycles.
Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor kitchens turn a backyard into a year-round entertaining space. We design and install built-in grill stations, prep counters, pizza ovens, and stone facades. Outdoor kitchen projects are coordinated with patio design so the entire space feels complete from day one.
Water Features
Water features bring a calming element to the landscape. We design and install fountains, ponds, and pondless waterfalls that add character without adding maintenance headaches. Water features are spec'd based on your site, the location of nearby plants, and how much you want to interact with them.
Plant Selection
Plant selection is one of the most important parts of any landscape design. We choose plants that thrive in Collinsville, IL transition zone climate, fit your sun exposure, and require maintenance you are comfortable with. Native and adapted species protect the design from the local weather extremes that kill imported nursery stock.
