The design process
Our Design Process
It begins with a consultation: we’ll walk your property, understand your goals, and explore your vision for the space. From there, we often recommend a custom design, because nothing brings your ideas to life like seeing them on paper. Until it’s drawn, it’s just potential — once it’s designed, it’s direction.
- 1
Precision Measurement
We return for a detailed site visit to take measurements to scale and note every detail—drainage, grading, existing features, and flow.
- 2
Design + Estimate
Within about two weeks, we’ll sit down for a full design presentation. We’ll walk you through your custom plan, review layout and materials, answer questions, and make any necessary adjustments. You’ll also receive a detailed proposal with transparent pricing.
- 3
Approval & Launch
Once approved, we finalize the design and move into scheduling. All materials are ordered and construction begins—turning your vision into a finished space built to last.

What you receive
Landscape Design Services in Wichita, KS
At Earthworks, our landscape designs are more than visual concepts — they are build-ready plans created to transform your property into a functional, long-lasting outdoor space. Our design process is led by an experienced design-build team, ensuring every plan is realistic, installable, and aligned with how your space will actually be used.
What Our Landscape Designs Include
- Property-Specific Planning
- Every design is customized to your home’s layout, grading, drainage, sun exposure, and existing features. We design with your property’s natural flow, not against it.
- Plant Selection & Layout
- Plants are selected and placed based on mature size, seasonal interest, spacing, and maintenance needs. The result is a landscape that looks intentional on day one and continues to improve as it grows.
- Hardscape Design Concepts
- Designs may include patios, walkways, retaining walls, borders, and defined outdoor living areas. These elements are positioned for function, movement, and long-term durability.
- Material Coordination
- Rock, mulch, edging, pavers, wall block, and other materials are selected to complement each other in color, texture, and scale, creating a cohesive finished look.
- Landscape Lighting Concepts
- When applicable, designs include low-voltage lighting concepts to highlight focal points, improve safety, and extend the usability of your outdoor space.
- Drainage & Grading Considerations
- Water movement and problem areas are addressed during the design phase to protect your investment and prevent future issues.
- Clear Visual Design Plans
- Designs are presented in a clean, easy-to-understand format so you can clearly see the finished vision before construction begins.
- Designs Built for Construction
- Because we are a design-build company, our plans are created to reduce guesswork, avoid costly changes, and ensure the final installation matches the original vision.
Sheet by sheet
What a design comes with
A design comes as a color rendering and as black-and-white sheets of the same plan, labeled: each plant named and counted, with lighting, drainage and construction notes where the project includes them. Select any sheet to open it, then zoom in to read every label.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We are happy to phase a project across your timeline or budget while keeping the overall design consistent and cohesive.
Bring us a sketch or a full design plan and we will work with it — or refine it — to make sure it fits your property layout, budget and long-term vision.
That is common, and it is what the consultation is for. Our in-house designer will guide you through the creative process, bringing recommendations and a clear design plan to the table.
Within about two weeks, we sit down for a full design presentation covering the plan, the layout and the materials, and you leave with a detailed proposal and transparent pricing.
Usually we recommend one. Nothing brings ideas to life like seeing them on paper, and because we build what we draw, the plan reduces guesswork, avoids costly changes and makes sure the finished installation matches the original vision.
No. Consultations are free and so are estimates. Design is the part that is paid for, because a build-ready plan is a deliverable rather than a free sketch attached to a bid — and there is no design fee until you have asked for one.
In Wichita and surrounding areas including Andover, Derby, Maize, and Goddard. Wichita and Sedgwick County are the core of it. Seasonal work in particular is scheduled by area, so where a property sits usually affects the date rather than the answer.
