Located at Horsford Gardens & Nursery,
Distinctive Landscaping offers a wide scope of landscape architectural
services ranging from simple project plans to complex master plans
for large properties. As a design-build firm, we provide high quality
landscape design service and installation at competitive prices.
Bringing together experienced landscape architects, professional
installation crews, and Horsford’s resources, Distinctive Landscaping
has designed and built landmark landscapes throughout the region.

Distinctive Landscaping’s design-build approach
benefits the client in many ways. By building a working relationship
with our landscape architects, the client’s ideas are brought to
reality. Our landscape architects and our professional installation
crews have a unique direct working relationship. As a result, the
client benefits by reducing the amount of construction detailing
and contract management expense that are normally incurred on landscape
projects. Additionally, communication between the client and crew
increases the efficiency of the project’s installation. All of these
services take place in-house which means greater savings for the
client.
Many clients use our site planning and design
services incrementally over a period of time. Our design process
includes analyzing and defining your landscape problem, developing
design solutions, and then selecting the best solution. The result
of this process is known as the Master Plan and sets the basic groundwork
which can be implemented in phases. Estimates, free of charge, can
be provided for the entire project or individual portions of the
project.
