Every stunning landscape begins with a vision—a vision of outdoor spaces that bring joy, relaxation, and functionality to your everyday life. At Ottawa Landscapes we specialize in turning that vision into reality. With years of experience designing and building custom landscapes, we’ve honed a process that ensures your dream outdoor space not only looks incredible but also suits your lifestyle and budget. Let’s take you behind the scenes of our landscape design journey, from the initial concept to the final creation.
Our Design Process
Consultation
The journey begins with an in-depth consultation where we dive into understanding your desires, budget, and timeline. This crucial step allows us to lay the foundation for a design that perfectly matches your vision. Whether you’re dreaming of a serene garden retreat, an outdoor kitchen for entertaining, or an elaborate hardscaping project, we take the time to truly listen to your ideas and goals. The consultation also helps us uncover the unique qualities of your property and establish the framework for a beautiful transformation.
Conceptualization
Armed with insights from our initial consultation, our design team gets to work on creating initial design concepts. This is where your dream begins to take shape. We meticulously craft designs that showcase the full potential of your outdoor space, incorporating your wish list and addressing any site-specific challenges. Our designs allow you to visualize the transformation, providing you with a detailed look at how various elements—like walkways, patios, or water features—can come together to create a harmonious environment.
Collaboration
Your input is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that a successful landscape design project is built on open communication and collaboration. Throughout the conceptual phase, we actively encourage feedback and dialogue, making adjustments as needed to ensure the final design aligns perfectly with your expectations. Whether it’s tweaking plant choices, adjusting layout details, or modifying hardscaping elements, we work with you every step of the way to bring your vision to life.
Detailed Plans
Once the final design is approved, we move into the planning phase, where our team produces comprehensive, detailed blueprints. These plans serve as a roadmap for the project’s implementation, ensuring a smooth and efficient build process. With every detail carefully considered—from material specifications to precise measurements—the transition from design to creation is seamless.

Our goal is to create a harmonious environment that feels natural, inviting, and perfectly suited to your lifestyle.
Planting Design
A beautiful landscape isn’t complete without thoughtful planting design. We carefully curate a diverse selection of plants, trees, and shrubs that thrive in Central Ohio’s climate. By blending colors, textures, and seasonal interest, we ensure that your outdoor space remains vibrant and visually appealing all year round. From lush garden beds to flowering shrubs, our planting designs bring life and movement to your landscape.
Hardscaping Solutions
Hardscaping elements such as stone pathways, retaining walls, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens are essential for adding both structure and luxury to your outdoor living space. Our hardscaping designs are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, providing a beautiful contrast to the natural elements in your landscape. Whether you’re envisioning an outdoor dining area or a charming garden path, we create hardscapes that enhance both the beauty and usability of your yard.
Outdoor Lighting
Thoughtful outdoor lighting design transforms your landscape after the sun sets. We strategically place lighting fixtures to highlight key features, such as trees, walkways, and architectural elements, while also enhancing the safety and usability of your space. Whether you’re hosting evening gatherings or enjoying a quiet night outdoors, our lighting solutions extend the beauty and functionality of your landscape well into the night.
