PLANNING & DESIGN
Our Planning & Design services focus on transforming your ideas into a custom design that reflects your style and meets your needs.
We begin by understanding your goals and property features, then create a detailed design that balances beauty, functionality, and sustainability. Whether it’s a garden retreat, outdoor entertaining space, or pollinator-friendly yard, we ensure every detail is captured and reflected in the final design.

BLD provides land use planning and design services for small and large-scale projects. A thorough site analysis is essential in the beginning phase of any land use project. Whether the objective is to build on the site or restore it back to its native habitat, BLD can determine the constraints and opportunities of a particular place by assessing both natural and cultural elements. Through observation, data collection and mapping, BLD looks at hydrology, soils, topography, vegetation, circulation, climate, existing infrastructure and other pertinent items to get a better understanding of the land. These findings are then synthesized into a road map to inform the design and most appropriate and environmentally sensitive course of action. At this point, BLD will work closely with the client to create a conceptual design and site plan that illustrates the various ways to manage or develop the site. BLD also leads design charettes to give stakeholders and community members an opportunity to weigh in on a design and planning project.
