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.
