Landscape Design and Build, From Plan to Finished Yard

Green Acres plans and builds landscapes in Wilmington, DE and New Castle County. A plan comes first: we look at soil conditions, drainage, irrigation, existing landscape, how you will use the space, upkeep and budget. Then our crew builds it.

One team handling design and construction means fewer handoffs and a result that matches the plan.

I have used Green Acres since 2016 for mowing and landscaping. My lawn is a steep hill and the staff does an amazing job. I have a large mulch area that Green Acres does each spring. I am extremely pleased and recommend them for any lawn care needs.

We have been using Green Acres for our lawn services for just about a year now and our landscaping has never been this good! The team is always on time, speedy and deliverers the services as promised- there has not been one time that we have had to call them for a missed service, incorrect service or any complaint for…

Commercial Property Manager here ! We recently made the switch to Green Acres from another "popular" commercial lawn care company. After increases in pricing and steady decline in services, care, and pride in craftsmanship we knew that it was time to make a change. Green Acres has been great in understanding our needs- we are a dual property with a…

FAQ

Landscape Design and Build Questions

Outdoor landscape design plan
What does landscape design and build include?

We plan the layout, choose materials and then build it ourselves, so one crew carries the project from first sketch to final cleanup. That can include patios, walkways, retaining walls, grading, drainage, plantings, lighting and irrigation, planned together so the pieces fit one another.

What is the design process?

We start with a consultation and site walk, develop a concept and layout, review materials and budget with you, and finalize the plan before building. We check permits and HOA rules along the way, and walk the finished project with you when the work is complete.

Do I need a landscape architect?

Many residential projects need a drawn plan, not stamped architectural drawings. Larger sites, commercial properties and projects with significant grading or drainage may need engineered or stamped plans. We tell you early if your project does, and coordinate with the engineer or architect when it is required.

What affects the cost of a design and build project?

Project size, the features included, materials, site conditions, access, grading and drainage needs, and permits all matter. We quote after the plan is developed, so you know the scope before building starts. Phasing the work can also spread the investment over more than one season.

Can you work with my budget and phase the project?

Yes. Many homeowners build in phases, starting with grading, drainage and a patio, then adding walls, lighting or plantings later. A master plan keeps the phases working together, so earlier work is not torn out when later phases are added. Ask us about financing too.
