Concept Sketches & Digital Image Manipulation

Not to scale – Purely creative, fast, and visual.

💡 Concept Sketches

Concept sketches are fast, expressive design tools—perfect for exploring ideas without committing to a full plan.

What is it?
A concept sketch is a freehand drawing based on a photo (usually provided by you or taken on-site). We trace the photo, sketch in landscape features, add some color and labels, and send it back. These are meant to communicate ideas quickly, not exact measurements.

🖍️ Cost Range: $50 – $500
📄 Includes: Color accents + loose labels
🕐 Turnaround: Often same day, depending on volume

🛠️ How They’re Used

• Translate a quick idea into a visual concept

• Explore 3–4 variations of the same space side-by-side

• Great for small projects like a garden bed, patio area, or entry

• Can inspire or evolve into a full 2D or 3D design later

• Sometimes, the sketch itself is enough to build from (yes, it happens!)

If all you need is inspiration or a direction to go, concept sketches are fast, affordable, and effective.

🖼️ Example Workflow

1. You send us a photo of the space

2. We sketch 1–4 versions with different concepts

3. We add some color and labels

4. You get a visual tool to help decide next steps or show to a contractor

🖥️ Digital Image Manipulation

Want to see what your actual yard could look like? We can take a real photo of your home or project space and layer it with plants, lawn, and hardscape to simulate a "finished" look.

This is not a plan—it's a visual aid.

🌿 Ideal for:

• Conceptualizing planting beds

• Exploring curb appeal options

• Showing the feel of a front yard makeover

📸 Best photo conditions:

• Straight-on view

• Sunny day

• No deep shadows (midday is perfect)

💰 Pricing: Final price depends on size , complexity and number of images
🌱 Note: Everything will look like it’s blooming at once—realistic? No. Helpful? Absolutely.

✨ Sketch or digital image manipulation ?…Which One’s Right for You?

Feature Concept Sketch, OR Digital Image Manipulation? Both are Based on real photo, Not to scale, get you a quick visual idea generation with both

Digital images provide Visual realism, and can be edited by our designers. If you think youll want to edit a sketch digital imaging is a good choice - but we are limited by the available image library. Some photos don’t manipulate well , and in cases where things are very overgrown it may be hard to erase the back ground

Sketch’s allow for full creativity and labeling much easier but… some of the realism is lost.
