Landscape Design
Prescott, Chino Valley, Prescott Valley & Beyond
Every Exceptional Landscape Begins with a Thoughtful Plan
A beautiful landscape doesn’t happen by accident. It begins with understanding how you live, how your property functions, and what you want to enjoy every day.
Our design process takes the uncertainty out of your project by combining creative design, practical planning, and decades of installation experience. Every decision is made with your property’s unique characteristics, your lifestyle, and your budget in mind, resulting in an outdoor space that’s both beautiful and built to last.
Step 1:
Discover Your Vision
Every project begins with a conversation.
During your consultation, we’ll walk your property, discuss your goals, and learn how you envision using your outdoor space. Whether you’re creating an outdoor living area, improving curb appeal, solving drainage issues, or planning a complete property transformation, we take the time to understand what matters most to you.
We’ll also evaluate your property’s existing conditions, including grading, drainage, sun exposure, existing vegetation, utilities, and architectural style. This allows us to create a design that’s not only beautiful but also practical and sustainable.
Our goal is simple: create a landscape that’s designed specifically for your home, not adapted from a template.
Step 2:
Strategic Site Planning
Great landscapes are built on smart planning.
Before selecting plants or materials, we develop a plan that considers how your landscape will perform for years to come. We evaluate traffic flow, outdoor living spaces, drainage patterns, irrigation needs, maintenance requirements, and opportunities to maximize the natural beauty of your property.
Whenever possible, we incorporate water-efficient irrigation options, drought-tolerant planting strategies, and sustainable solutions that reduce long-term maintenance while protecting your investment.
By solving potential challenges during the design phase, we help prevent costly surprises during construction.
Step 3:
Personalized Material & Plant Selection
The details bring your landscape to life.
From natural stone and pavers to trees, shrubs, decorative rock, and outdoor lighting, every material contributes to the finished experience.
We guide you through each selection, helping you compare colors, textures, and finishes that complement your home’s architecture and fit your personal style.
Whenever possible, we invite you to visit our Earthworks showroom where you can experience many materials in person, making it easier to visualize your finished landscape and feel confident in every decision.
Step 4:
Design Visualization
See your landscape before construction begins.
Our detailed landscape drawings allow you to understand exactly how your project will come together before landscape installation starts. You’ll see how spaces connect, where landscape features are located, and how the overall design flows throughout your property.
We’ll review the plans together, answer questions, and make adjustments until everything reflects your vision.
Our goal is for you to move into construction feeling confident, informed, and excited about what’s ahead.
Designed for Beauty. Built for Real Life.
Every recommendation we make balances aesthetics with functionality.
That means creating outdoor spaces that look incredible while also considering maintenance, drainage, irrigation, longevity, and how your family will actually use the space every day.
Because we’re both designers and installers, every design is created with construction in mind, helping projects move smoothly from concept to completion.

What is included in a landscape design?
A landscape design typically includes the overall layout of the property, plant selection, hardscape areas, outdoor living features, irrigation considerations, lighting, and other elements that help create a cohesive plan for the space. Manzanita’s goal is to create a design that looks beautiful, functions well, and fits the way you want to use your property.
Do you design landscapes specifically for Northern Arizona?
Yes. Landscape design in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and the surrounding areas requires an understanding of local climate, soil conditions, water needs, elevation, and plant performance. Manzanita makes recommendations based on what will work well long term in Northern Arizona, not just what looks good on paper.
Can you help me figure out what I want if I don’t have a clear vision yet?
Absolutely. You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. The design process is meant to help turn ideas, inspiration, priorities, and practical needs into a clear plan. Manzanita guides clients through the process so they are not left trying to make every decision on their own.
Do you design outdoor living spaces too?
Yes. Depending on the project, a landscape design may incorporate outdoor kitchens, fire features, seating areas, patios, pathways, turf, water features, lighting, and other elements that extend how you use your home outdoors.
How much does landscape design cost?
The cost depends on the size of the property, complexity of the design, and the features being considered. Manzanita offers an online pricing estimator to help homeowners establish a realistic starting budget before moving forward with a consultation.
Do you provide landscape installation after the design is complete?
Yes. Manzanita offers design, installation, and ongoing landscape care, which allows the project to move from planning through completion with one team.
