Our Process

Close

At Greenville Outdoor Living, every project starts with a conversation. From there, the path depends on your needs: some projects require a full custom outdoor living design, while others are straightforward installations like sod, irrigation, or trees. Either way, our process keeps things simple, transparent, and stress-free.

Discovery & Consultation

We begin with a consultation to learn about your property and your goals.

This is where we decide whether your project moves forward as a Design-Build or a Direct Install.

Custom Outdoor Living Projects

(Design-Build)

For patios, retaining walls, water features, and full outdoor transformations.

02
Design Agreement

Complex outdoor living spaces start with a design agreement. This ensures your project is carefully planned with drawings, budgets, and materials chosen up front.

Many of our clients say this step saves time, money, and stress during construction.

03
Design Development & Proposal

We create a custom design package, which may include scaled drawings or 2D renderings.

Since these projects often involve multiple elements — patios, walls, water features, lighting, and planting — they represent a significant investment in your home’s long-term value.

04
Build & Installation

Our skilled crews bring the design to life, and a dedicated project manager keeps you informed as the work moves forward.

05
Final Walkthrough & Aftercare

We walk the space with you to confirm every detail meets our standards and yours. You’ll receive care instructions, warranty information, and the option of seasonal or ongoing maintenance services.

I have a huge smile on my face right now as I look at the transformation in my yard courtesy of Steven and his team. I have found it difficult to find reliable sources for various projects around my home, but Steven has restored my faith. He was prompt in initially meeting with me and completely understood the scope of what I wanted to accomplish. He communicated with me all along the way and completed the project promptly and professionally. I could not be more impressed by the quality of the work. It is, and will be my pleasure to highly recommend Greenville Outdoor Living to anyone needing landscape services.
