Kathy Henry Exterior Design has a streamlined collaborative process when landscaping is involved on a design project. You may contact us through our website or call us directly to set up a consultation. On the first meeting we will talk about your vision, needs and the desired features you want. Next, we will come out for a site visit to evaluate the space and what it has to offer. Following our discussions and discovery, we will develop a custom designed wireframe for you. We then send you our detailed proposal including project scope summary, timeline, and price range and once you agree to the design, we will proceed with project implementation. We carry out everything from thought process through to putting them in place providing customers with an easy and simple process.

Kathy Henry Exterior Design is a full-service landscape design company that caters to many needs of different clients. From custom bocce ball courts to fire pits, water features, deck design, dog runs and even edible gardens, we can do it all.

Though Kathy Henry Exterior Design is design and build, we strongly recommend maintaining the prospective landscaped areas of the property to make them last and look healthy. We do not perform maintenance services ourselves, but we are able to recommend local trusted partners that perform full landscaping maintenance including lawn care, weeding, pruning, fertilization, seasonal clean-up, etc. Your outdoor space can become a thing of beauty or total neglect — regular maintenance releases the pressure cooker of plants and we can advise you on how frequently you need to perform this function. Our goal is to not only create your project, but to help you make memories in your new landscape for years to come.

At Kathy Henry Exterior Design, we feel that every project is unique, just like the family whose lifestyle it complements. We’ll start off together in a consultation to determine your needs, wants, and visual style/requirements. Kathy Henry, Principal Designer, uses her studies in Communications and Landscape Architecture to create a personalized plan that blends optimal function with artistic expression. Throughout the whole design process, which is a collaborative affair, we take into consideration the surrounding environment and how a build would sit (visually for example), allowing for scope for adjustments and creativity as required. That partnership makes sure that the end product is not just stunning but functional enough for everyday use.

Depending on the type of work, materials, and features you want to incorporate, Kathy Henry Exterior Design bases their pricing on individualized landscaping projects. On the consultation we head over what you want to do, in addition to your budget, allowing us to draft an outline that stays within your price range! Other factors such as design complexity, site conditions, and necessary permits or ancillary services will impact the final pricing. While delivering results of high quality, we also try to be transparent in our pricing, and very competitive After finalizing project details, we provide a detailed estimate so that you can be aware of how the process will proceed.

We can include feature such as seating areas, vertical gardens, and decorative pathways to maximize the use of your backyard. We believe all outdoor spaces — big or small — can be equally beautiful and livable at the same time based on your way of living.

What to Think About When Designing your Landscape with Kathy Henry Exterior Design Consider what you plan to do with the space—entertaining, relaxing, or gardening, for example. The style you will choose can greatly depend on your way of life or preferences. Then think about what is there already; the type of soil you have, how much sun you get, the natural features you want to preserve or highlight. The last one needs to do with your budget; by knowing what your limits are, it will allow us to set a design plan that is achievable. Finally, share your vision and what you like about what they see together with us so that we can better meet your needs for projects and tastes.
