Not always. For smaller projects - like installing a new paver patio, retaining wall, or refreshing existing features, we can move forward without formal design because we’re aware of what you want.

For larger projects such as a full yard transformation, or complex hardscaping, a design helps us plan every little detail to ensure we’re on the budget, and giving you the finished result that matches your vision.

Concrete pavers are manufactured, and built to be consistent in shape, size, and color. This makes them easier to install, more budget-friendly, and great for creating clean/uniform patterns.

Natural stone, on the other hand, is unique - every piece has its own shape, size, and color. It offers a timeless, organic look that a lot of people love, though it can be more costly, and labor-intensive to install.

Both options are durable and beautiful - the choice ultimately depends on your budget, style, and look that you desire for your outdoor space.
