№ 13 — Landscape design · Outside the walls
Landscape design — a redesigned yard, same property.
Re-imagine the soft landscape — plants, beds, garden paths, lighting — in a considered style without moving the house, driveway, or fences.

The problem
The yard photographs as dated, empty, or one good designer away from the asking price. Landscape design renders a considered planting scheme — beds, trees, paths, lighting — into the same frame so the buyer sees the property the seller paid a designer to imagine.
The standard
- House, driveway, fences, retaining walls, and main hardscape stay where they were photographed.
- Six design directions, each with an honest plant palette — modern grasses, English cottage, Japanese zen, tropical, Mediterranean, desert xeriscape.
- Light direction and shadow geometry on the new plantings match the original frame.
- Stays inside the landscape footprint — beds stop at the curb, paths stop at the driveway.
The handoff
Paired with the original so the buyer or seller can compare directions side by side before committing to a real installation.
Companion tools
Landscape design covers the full yard concept. Pair with lawn replacement when only the lawn is wrong, or with sky replacement when the frame needs both a new sky and a new yard.
When Vesta runs it
Used as a single-step concept move — most often outside any bundle, when a seller, buyer, or landscape designer wants to compare directions before a real install.
