STEPS TO OUTDOOR LIVING DESIGN PROCESS

Discovery

The discovery phase of the outdoor design process is one of our favorite parts. After you contact us, we set up a time to meet, either in person or over the phone, and discuss your outdoor design ideas. This is where we will ask you a lot of questions, such as what theme you are looking for, what design elements you want, what items are most important to you (such as an outdoor fireplace), what colors, and much more. We'll get a good idea of what you are looking for, and then we'll get to work, drawing by hand and then on the computer to put your ideas to paper.

DESIGN

After our initial meeting and sketches, we'll finalize our outdoor design and then present it to you. Here, we'll narrow down the details and measurements so that the outdoor design will fit your space. We may need to come out to your home or office building in order to get precise measurements, especially if you have a smaller space you want designed. This process can take a few days to weeks, depending on how elaborate your outdoor design ideas are. Once narrowed down, an agreement and budget will be drawn up and then a production contract signed. Now the real fun begins!

PRE-CONSTRUCTION

Compass Outdoor Design loves bringing ideas to life at your DFW home or office. We'll send you a production schedule for approval and begin procuring the appropriate permits, which will all depend on your design and your city or county in which you reside. Some outdoor designs need no permits. Others, such as adding on to your home, usually do. Then, we'll begin gathering all of the necessary materials so we can begin the creation phase. We work with some amazing contractors to obtain the highest-quality materials for your covered patio, backyard pergola, pool deck, or landscaping. Your outdoor design is about to take shape.

CREATION

Once we've gathered all of the materials, we'll get to creating. In the creation phase, you'll see your patio being poured and covered, an outdoor fireplace being trekked in and installed, patio furniture being brought in, and flowers, perennials, and plants galore being placed and planted. Here, you will see your outdoor space become a reality. The time frame here will vary as well based on the complexity of your design. For instance, if you are having a custom stone outdoor fireplace and kitchen built, LED lights installed on walkways, and a pool deck designed, that will take longer than if you were just having a simple roof put over your patio. This phase is often the favorite phase of our clients because they get to watch their vision come to life.

WARRANTY & BEYOND

Once our outdoor design team has finished putting the finishing touches on your outdoor design, we'll do a final meeting and a walk through. Here is where we'll go over any appliances, grills, or fireplace instructions and make sure everything is how you want it. If there's anything we missed, please let us know, as we'll be happy to fix it right away. Our mission is to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your outdoor design. We'll take some photos and ask for a testimonial. Then, we'll leave you to plan your first gathering as you enjoy your amazing outdoor space.
