Landscape design consultation on-site in Fort Lauderdale
Step 01

Dream It

Dream it. Share it.

Your vision — on-site. We meet you at your property, walk every corner, and align on exactly what you want. No guesswork — just a clear plan before anything begins.

Our journey begins with a simple conversation. We sit with you to delve deep into your vision, gathering every detail, nook, and cranny of your dream outdoor space. Your ideas form the heart of our design. As we discussed, we also glanced at your property to understand the canvas we have to paint on.

If you find yourself short of inspiration, fear not! With our seasoned landscape designer expertise, we introduce plenty of creative ideas to inspire you. We craft an initial design, the cornerstone of your future magnificent landscape project.

Step 02

Design It

Step into your vision with 3D.

See it before we build it. We develop your project in full 3D — every material, every detail, refined until it matches your vision exactly. You approve it before a single shovel hits the ground.

Once we’ve worked together to imagine your new landscape design, it’s time to get a visual sense of the desired outcome. While 2-dimensional renderings may work for smaller renovations, they don’t let you see how a large landscape design will look. On the other hand, three-dimensional renderings give you multiple angles and immerse you in the project.

We’ll create a comprehensive, realistic 3D rendering that brings your vision to the screen. We’ll use precise measurements to show you the size and placement of every landscape feature, including:

Step 03

Live It

From digital dream to real installation.

We handle everything. You just enjoy it. From permits to construction to final delivery — it’s all on us. One team, one contract, zero coordination on your end.

Now, the magic unfolds. Our team collaborates with trusted top landscape architects and contractors for the installation phase. Every shrub, every stone, and every feature is placed on site with precision to mirror the 3D design you approved. We believe in constant communication, keeping you in the loop as your landscape dream materializes before your eyes.

The 3D design advantage

Why Seeing It in 3D Changes Everything

Photorealistic 3D landscape design lets homeowners see, refine and approve every detail before construction begins.

Walk Through It Before We Build It

Experience your landscape from multiple perspectives in a virtual tour — so refining details is easy and the result matches your expectations.

See your space as it will truly exist.

Make Confident Decisions Without Risk

Compare stone finishes, plant species, lighting moods and layout options in real time. Change your mind as many times as you need — in the design phase, where changes cost nothing.

Arrive at perfect with zero regret.

Prevent the Costly Mid-Construction Change

Changes during construction cost 4–10× more than changes in design. Our clients routinely save tens of thousands by refining their vision first in 3D.

Lock in your vision before the first stone is set.

What You Approve Is What Gets Built

No surprises at the final walkthrough. Our installers work from the exact measurements in your approved 3D design — when construction ends, you’ll recognize every detail, because you approved every detail.

Delivered exactly as shown. Guaranteed.

Considered answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What homeowners ask before investing in their property. Still curious? Call us — we'd rather talk it through.

How much does 3D landscape design cost?

3D landscape design starts at $1,500, reflecting the expertise, time and visualization technology involved. When you build with TotalScape, 100% of your design fee is credited toward your project. It’s not an expense — it’s insurance.

How quickly will I see my 3D design after the consultation?

You’ll receive your full 3D presentation within 7 days of your consultation. That’s not a target — it’s a guarantee: if we don’t deliver within 7 days, your design is free.

How much can a professional landscape increase my Fort Lauderdale property value?

In Fort Lauderdale’s market, a professionally designed outdoor living space typically returns 100–200% of the investment in property value (National Association of Realtors), increasing property values by 10–15% through enhanced curb appeal and functional outdoor spaces. You’re not just improving a yard — you’re reclaiming a portion of your life.

Do your 3D designs show seasonal changes in South Florida?

Yes! Our visualizations demonstrate how your landscape will appear during Florida’s wet and dry seasons, showing plant maturity stages and seasonal variations specific to our subtropical climate.

How do you make landscapes hurricane-resistant?

We select wind-resistant plants, design strategic windbreak placement, and incorporate proper drainage systems to minimize storm damage while maintaining privacy and shade.

We integrate smart irrigation, rainwater harvesting, permeable hardscapes, and drought-tolerant native species that thrive with minimal watering in our unique climate.

Can you work around existing features I want to keep?

No. TotalScape is a complete design/build firm. Pools, hardscapes, structures, plantings, irrigation, lighting — every element is handled by our in-house team. One call. One team.
