Landscape design and build, from the first plan to the finished yard
Primavera plans the whole yard first, then our crew builds it. The pool, hardscape, outdoor rooms, planting, and lighting are designed together, so the finished space works as one place to spend time outside.
When design and build makes sense
Design and build fits projects that change most of the yard at once. That might be a new pool with a patio and planting around it, a bare backyard behind a newer home, or an older yard that no longer matches how you live.
If you need one piece of work, like a new patio or a set of front steps, start with hardscape design and installation instead. We can still plan it so it fits a larger project later.
What we plan before anything is built
-
How you use the yard
Where people gather, where kids play, where you want quiet, and how often you host. The layout starts here.
-
Sun, shade, and summer heat
Sacramento summers are long and hot. We look at where afternoon sun lands before placing seating, shade structures, and planting.
-
Grade and drainage
How water moves across the lot decides where patios sit, where walls are needed, and how planting beds are built.
-
Views from the house
You see the yard from the kitchen and living room every day. We plan what those windows look out on.
-
How the parts connect
Paths, steps, and transitions between the house, patio, pool, and lawn decide whether the yard feels like one place.
-
Budget and phasing
We talk about budget at the start so the plan fits what you want to spend. If it makes sense to build in phases, we plan for that too.

Questions about landscape design and build
Something else on your mind? Call (916) 349-8755.
What does design and build mean?
It means one company designs the project and builds it. Primavera prepares the landscape design plan, then our crew handles construction, so the people who drew the plan are the people who build it.
Do I need a full design for a smaller project?
Not always. Smaller projects like a patio or a set of steps can start with a simpler plan. A full design is most useful when several parts of the yard are changing at once.
Can the yard be built in phases?
Often, yes. If the full plan is more than you want to build at once, we can talk through which parts to build first so later phases fit without tearing out finished work.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. The first consultation is complimentary. Call (916) 349-8755 or send the consultation form to set it up.
