Our Landscape Consultation Process

At Beds & Borders Landscape Design, Inc., we believe that an exceptional outdoor space begins with a seamless, highly collaborative introduction. From the first moment you decide to take the step toward transforming your property, our goal is to ensure a clear, professional path forward. Under the direction of owner and lead designer Andy Freeland, we have refined an initial consultation process that respects your time, captures your vision, and lays a precise foundation for your custom landscape project.

Serving the Twin Cities metro area from our home base in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, we specialize in translating complex yard challenges into beautiful, functional, and value-driven outdoor living environments.

What to Expect During Your Initial Landscape Consultation

Our initial onboarding phase is designed to establish clear project objectives, evaluate your property’s unique characteristics, and outline a realistic trajectory for your custom design work. Here is exactly how we kick off your landscaping project:

  • Step 1: Simple Scheduling – Reach out by calling or texting us at 612-396-2014 to set up a dedicated, 30-minute on-site landscape consultation.

  • Step 2: On-Time Arrival & Site Analysis – We arrive promptly at your property, ready to view the specific areas of need in your yard and discuss your structural or aesthetic challenges.

  • Step 3: Defining Project Objectives – We collaborate directly with you to outline your primary goals, whether you are envisioning functional stone retaining walls, a custom paver patio, a vibrant rain garden, or a complete softscape overhaul.

  • Step 4: Establishing Design Costs & Budget Parameters – To ensure complete alignment from day one, we discuss transparent design costs and establish a realistic investment budget for the subsequent installation.

  • Step 5: Site Survey & Conceptualization – We immediately initiate detailed on-site site measurements, document the terrain through high-precision photography, and begin the initial structural conceptualization of your space.

By combining meticulous structural planning with a deep understanding of local Minnesota hardscaping and softscaping needs, this initial phase guarantees that your upcoming design aligns perfectly with your lifestyle, property line requirements, and visual aesthetic.
