Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD): CAD Design

Using state-of-the-art CAD design programs, information gathered in the analysis state of the project, and our experience in landscape design and construction, we develop the following:

Sight analysis

We come out to survey the site, take pictures, and make measurements. We walk around and make notes of the client's wants and needs regarding what they envision the site to be. 

Preliminary Design

Conduct a meeting between the client and the design team to review a preliminary plan, discuss alternatives, phasing out stages of the project and probable cost. It is our experience that the budget and projected cost play a major role in establishing the extent and quality of the product/project.



With the use of state-of-the-art equipment and innovative design techniques, the client is able to implement the design over a period of time.

Final Design

Conduct a meeting between the client and design team to review the final plan(s), schedule, and final construction costs.

Computer-Aided Full Visual Picture Design: CAP Design

The team at Wagner Nursery Inc came across a new design program a few years ago, and since then it has become an integral part of our business. 

This program works wonders for clients that want a visual. It literally paints a picture of what the area will look like three to five years down the road with your house and property integrated right into the design. We have examples of this in the galleries on this page.

To start, we take a physical picture of the actual spot on the site that will be designed. This picture can be of a bare spot or new construction or can be of an area that already has existing landscaping installed.

After the photo or photos have been taken, our designers will then edit and design the photos based on what the client wants and our professional experience.

The designers then go through this new design with the client and make some changes, if needed. After this is completed and agreed upon, the project is thrust into action and the construction phase begins!

Scaled Hand Drawing Design

Based upon information gathered in the analysis state of the project and our experience in landscape design and construction, we develop a drawing done to scale. It is all done by hand by a professional, experienced landscape designer. 

Sight analysis

As with CAD designing, we survey the site, take pictures, make measurements, and take notes regarding your expectations.

Preliminary Design

You and the design team will meet to review our preliminary plan, discuss alternatives, phasing out stages of the project, and probable costs.

Final Design

We conduct a meeting between the client and design team to review the final plan(s), schedule, and final construction costs.
