2D plans and 3D renderings
Landscape design for Fort Myers & Naples, drawn before it is built
We create design-forward landscape plans and visualizations that help you see the full potential of your property before construction begins. From clean 2D layouts to immersive 3D imaging, the process aligns beauty, function and buildability from the start.
What we deliver
Design tools that turn ideas into a buildable plan
Your outdoor space should feel intentional, not pieced together. Our design team produces architectural-style landscape plans and visual presentations that guide every phase of the project and support confident decisions.
What every design includes
- 01
2D landscape plans: layout, circulation, outdoor rooms and key features
- 02
Architectural-style drawings that communicate structure and proportion
- 03
3D imaging to preview materials, lighting and spatial flow
- 04
Plant schedules and material takeoffs that price the build accurately
- 05
A defined plan that means smoother execution and fewer surprises

This is what a Lombardo design looks like
A concept plan for a one-story residence: a sloped-entry pool with a fire feature, a spa, a 28 by 20 foot pavilion kitchen and hundreds of counted plants. Tap a number to zoom in on the decision behind it.
2D landscape design
Plans and layouts
Our 2D plans are a clear, build-ready roadmap. They map how your outdoor environment will function: where the living areas belong, how the paths connect, and how hardscape and planting work together.
- Outdoor living zones and functional layouts
- Hardscape placement: pavers, walls, steps and edging
- Planting and material concepts, counted and coded
- A plan that supports accurate estimating and construction
3D imaging
See the space before it is built
When a decision is hard to picture, 3D imaging removes the guesswork. We build realistic views of the proposed space so you can judge the look, scale and feel before construction begins.
- Key features in context, by day and at night
- Materials and finishes previewed with confidence
- Fewer revisions during the build
- Faster decisions with a clear visual reference

Designed for Southwest Florida
What a good plan solves here
A beautiful drawing is the easy part. A Southwest Florida landscape also has to drain a summer downpour, survive salt air and wind, satisfy a community review board and still look intentional in ten years.
- 01
Grading and drainage
We evaluate grading, water flow and soil before anything is drawn, so patios, beds and pool decks shed water instead of holding it through the rainy season.
- 02
A climate-right plant palette
Plants are chosen for climate suitability, growth habit, texture and color, so the landscape matures gracefully. Browse the palette in our Southwest Florida plant guide.
- 03
Community and HOA review
Many Lee and Collier communities review landscape plans before work begins. A dimensioned plan with a plant schedule is the package those boards expect to see.
- 04
Lighting and irrigation on the same drawings
Fixtures, transformers, sleeves and irrigation zones are planned with the hardscape, so wiring and pipe go in once, under the pavers, not cut in later.
- 05
Proportion and scale
A landscape should be in proportion to the architecture it frames. Palms, beds and paving are sized to the house and the lot, not to whatever the nursery has on hand. More on that in balance and scale in landscape design.
- 06
Room to grow
Good plans leave space for what comes next: a future pool, a summer kitchen or a house addition, so nothing built today has to be undone.
How design works
Four stages, one clear direction
The design phase sits inside our six-step design-build process. Here is what happens between the first conversation and an approved plan.
- 01
Discovery and vision
We learn how you want to live outdoors, what you love aesthetically and what the space needs to do.
- 02
Concept and layout
An initial direction and 2D layout organize the space with purpose.
- 03
Visual development
Supporting visuals and 3D imaging confirm the design and refine the details.
- 04
Final direction
Once approved, the plan becomes the roadmap for the build, and the basis of a proposal priced line by line.

Designs clients recognize the moment they see them
Once design was completed, Will handled all of the installation with Antonio and his crew. They sourced their trees and bushes from Homestead Florida. The products were of amazing quality, the installation was beyond my expectations and the final result was an impeccable job.
FAQ
Landscape design questions
How much does a landscape design cost?
Design is priced to the size and complexity of the property, and the fee is agreed in writing at your first consultation, before any drafting begins. Because our proposals are priced from the plan's own quantities, the design also becomes the most accurate estimate you will get for the build.
How long does the design take?
Most designs take a few weeks from the first consultation, depending on the size of the property and how many features are involved. Larger estates with pools, structures and lighting take longer because every system is coordinated on the same drawings.
Will I get 3D renderings, or only a plan?
Every design starts with a dimensioned 2D plan. We add 3D imaging when it helps you decide, which is most of the time on outdoor living spaces, pools and front entries, so you can see materials, scale and lighting, by day and at night, before construction.
Do I need a landscape architect instead?
For most homes, no. In Florida the title "landscape architect" belongs to professionals licensed under Chapter 481, and some commercial and public projects require one. Residential design-build is a different route: one team designs, prices and builds. Here is a fuller comparison.
What should I have ready for the first meeting?
Photos of the property, a survey or any existing plans are helpful but not required. More useful is a sense of how you want to use the space: entertaining, a quiet garden, room for the kids, a view you want framed or a neighbor you want screened.
Can a design be built in phases?
Yes. A complete plan is the best way to phase a project, because the first phase is built knowing exactly where the pool deck, the lighting runs and the future planting will go. Nothing has to be torn out later.
Does good design really add value?
A professionally designed landscape and hardscape adds structure, curb appeal and long-term usability. Just as important, it saves money during construction: decisions made on paper cost far less than changes made in the field.
