Landscape Consultation

Landscape Consultation for Bend and Central Oregon

Homeowners can begin their outdoor projects with landscape consultation services that offer clarity and direction from the very first step. These meetings with a professional landscape designer are a chance to explore your goals, reflect on how your outdoor space should feel and function and what the best options are within the parameters of your specific site.

Carlsen Landscape Design takes a personal approach to all projects based on observation and listening. Tanya can advise you with plant selection, hardscapes (patios or pathway material size and shape) , water features, complete restructuring of your outdoor space, plant care and maintenance.

What to Expect from a Site Visit

During the 60 minute site visit, we look at every element that shapes your landscape and talk with you to understand how you want to live in your outdoor space. After the visit, we prepare notes that summarize the key ideas, observations, and suggestions we discussed, giving you a clear place to begin, whether you’re moving forward on your own or considering future design work.

  • Every drawing starts with your land: We measure and map your actual conditions, then build the design around what works. No reused layouts or prefab templates.

  • CAD precision without pressure: You get clear, scalable plans without immediate construction commitments. This lets you prepare with intention before any build begins.

  • Local plant knowledge is built in: We design with plants that survive—and thrive—in Central Oregon’s climate. Your layout includes choices that work with your water availability and care preferences.
