Acosta Landstone provides hardscape and landscape design across the Eastside, Snohomish, King and Pierce Counties. We use 3D planning to organize pavers, concrete, retaining walls, circulation, landscape areas and other outdoor features before construction begins.
Plan the full outdoor space. Build with confidence.
Before construction starts, we create a complete outdoor plan that connects the hardscape and landscape as one project. The goal is to make decisions about scale, circulation, materials, grading, drainage, planting and outdoor living before crews break ground.
Hardscape planning

3D visualization before construction
Want to see the project before we build it?
Explore our dedicated 3D Landscape Design service to visualize layout, materials and outdoor features before construction.
Use 3D Landscape Design concepts and coordinated design decisions to understand how patios, walls, concrete, pavers, lawn, turf and planting relate before construction.
This planning stage can also make conversations about layout, scale and priorities much easier. You can review how people will move through the space, where gathering areas make the most sense, how hardscape transitions into planting and whether key features feel balanced within the property. The goal is not simply to create a rendering—it is to reduce uncertainty and give the project a stronger direction before crews begin the physical work.
Before Construction
Review proportions, circulation and outdoor living zones in context
Compare layout ideas before committing to major construction decisions
Identify conflicts between patios, paths, walls, turf and planting earlier
What You Can Review
Hardscape layout, material transitions and retaining wall placement
Planting areas, lawn or turf zones and overall landscape balance
Lighting, gathering areas and the relationship between home and backyard
One plan for the complete outdoor space.
A coordinated design reduces guesswork and gives the project a clear direction from the first estimate through construction and final landscape details.
3D concepts shaped around how you want to live outside.
Every property has different priorities. 3D landscape planning helps organize the full picture—from entertaining areas and circulation to hardscape, planting and green space—so the design feels intentional before construction begins.

What affects the scope of a hardscape and landscape design?+
For larger outdoor transformations, planning the layout first can make the next decisions easier. We review the property, priorities and major project elements so the design can guide pavers, concrete, walls, lawn, planting and circulation as one coordinated space.
The size of the property, number of outdoor features, grade changes, drainage, existing structures, access and the level of 3D visualization needed can all affect the design scope.
How soon will I receive the project estimate?+
After the on-site visit and project review, we typically send the estimate within 2 business days.
When can the project move from design to construction?+
Construction timing is coordinated after the scope is approved, the preferred start date is reviewed, materials and scheduling are confirmed, and the first deposit has been received.
What should I bring to the design conversation?+
Share how you want to use the space, the problems you want to solve, features you would like to include and any inspiration you have. We can then organize those ideas into a more practical outdoor plan.

Local project FAQs.
Why start with hardscape and landscape design before construction?+
Planning first helps define the layout, materials, elevations, circulation and relationship between hardscape and planting before major construction decisions are made. It gives the project a clearer direction and can reduce avoidable changes once work begins.
Can the design include pavers, retaining walls, concrete, lawn and planting?+
Yes. The design can coordinate paver patios, walkways, concrete areas, retaining walls, lawn or artificial turf, planting zones and other outdoor features so the property is planned as one connected space.
Do you use 3D Landscape Design for Bothell backyard projects?+
