How Our 5 Step Method Service Works
Step 1: Discovery & Lifestyle Assessment
We start by getting to know you. Through thoughtful conversations and a lifestyle questionnaire, we learn how you live, relax, and entertain. This step makes sure your future outdoor space reflects your habits, values, and vision.
Step 2: Site Analysis & Precision Mapping
We capture your property using LIDAR scanning, drone imagery, and elevation mapping. This advanced data ensures that your design fits your existing site with precision and sets the foundation for a smooth build process.
Step 3: Design Language & Mood Boards
We develop a cohesive design language through mood boards, inspiration palettes, and architectural context. This ensures material choices and features feel integrated with your home’s style, not like an afterthought.
Step 4: Conceptual 3D Design
Next, we bring your space to life with a fully rendered 3D walkthrough. You’ll experience layout, flow, and features virtually – including zones for cooking, lounging, or gathering – all before breaking ground.
Step 5: Budget Review & Project Planning
We finalize the design and review your investment level, timeline, and next steps. Whether we build the project or you use your own contractor, you’ll walk away with a plan designed to succeed.

"Duane and his staff are amazing. I have known the owner for many years and have had the pleasure of seeing his designs flourish. Duane cares for detail. I remember hearing him say that details were more important to him than quick volume orders. Everything from from compound miter cuts on stone to LEDs over incandescent before they were popular. If you’re looking for quality, then VizX is it."
