Landscape Design
Camelot Design creates customized outdoor environments tailored to property-specific conditions and client preferences. Our approach combines artistic vision with technical expertise in plant selection, hardscaping, and water conservation. Each project begins with a comprehensive site assessment to identify opportunities and challenges, ensuring functional, aesthetically pleasing results that enhance property value and usability.
Master Plan Package
This premium service delivers fully-detailed landscape blueprints covering entire properties or specified areas. Includes contractor-ready specifications for hardscaping, irrigation systems, lighting plans, and seasonal maintenance calendars. Ideal for complex projects requiring permits or multiple implementation phases, ensuring cohesive long-term development of outdoor spaces.
Site Assessment
Our one-hour on-site consultation identifies landscape challenges and opportunities while understanding client goals. The assessment covers drainage issues, soil conditions, privacy needs, and usage patterns. Clients receive a written summary with prioritized recommendations for improvements, forming the foundation for subsequent design work.

This service ensures design integrity throughout construction while maintaining budget and timeline parameters, with optional fee-based supervision available.
