Not sure how to bring your dream yard to life? Taking your outdoor vision from your mind to reality can be an investment in time and money. So many styles, material options for you to explore  before committing to a big project can be an overwhelming process.

1. Visualize your project

Our designers take a plan and bring it into a 3d model to life to visualize your project before building it. Seeing how big spaces and elements will be and how they will be in relation with one another can help you understand what will work for your lifestyle and outdoor area. Our high quality renders also help with color, material finishes, plants and furniture. 

 

2. Money saver – Easy changes 

You walked out to your backyard to see the build project reveal – Oh, didn’t like how small that grill is in your outdoor kitchen? Maybe the pavers are too big or the wrong color now that they are installed in your backyard? Don’t worry because if you invest in your 3D design render you will see exactly what the experience will be and be able to fix any details to your liking before spending the big bucks and realizing you didn’t like it after all. Save yourself  the headache and money with a 3d render design. 

 

3. Know what you are getting for your budget

Once your backyard design is to your liking you will have an exact idea of what investment to expect to build it. That’s right.. No more guessing what your quote entails? Is the contractor including these steps on the side of the home, what about these lights under the pergola? Save yourself those surprise costs and unexpected high expenses.

 

Whatever the project, 3d renderings will ensure 100% satisfaction and save you money for the build process. If you are ready to get started on your landscaping outdoor living journey, Luxterra Outdoors can help you. Contact us today to get you started!

 

 

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is design-build more expensive?

Design-build often shows a higher number on the initial quote because design and construction costs are priced together up front. At Luxterra, that means a project in the $50,000 to $100,000 range is scoped as one engagement from the start, so change orders are less likely to surface once installation begins—which is where much of the cost difference in traditional bids actually plays out.

What’s the fastest way to build an outdoor living space?

Starting with a single design-build team is generally the fastest path, since the same company that designs your space also schedules and builds it, without waiting on a separate contractor to bid the finished plans.

How do I avoid contractor miscommunication?

Choosing a design-build firm removes most of the coordination burden, since one team owns both the plan and the execution. If you are pursuing a traditional approach instead, get every material, dimension, and cost detail in writing before construction begins and confirm both your designer and installer have approved the same version of the plan.
