functional, beautiful outdoor spaces with clear plans and practical guidance.

Services That Shape the Land Over Time

Each service stands on its own. You can begin with a consultation or move into full

design when the time feels right. The process stays flexible and grounded in place.

  • Landscape Consultation: We walk your site, discuss your goals, and provide a written summary to guide your next steps.

  • Landscape Design: We transform your ideas into a detailed plan, including layouts, plant selections, and materials.

  • Specialized Landscape Design: We design native, water‑wise, and pollinator‑friendly landscapes tailored to Central Oregon conditions.

  • Water Feature Design: Enhance your outdoor space with custom water features that add beauty, movement, and tranquility.

  • Ongoing Support:Your plan doesn’t expire. We provide guidance and updates as your landscape grows and changes.

Why Work With Carlsen Landscape Design

  • Deep understanding of Central Oregon: Each layout reflects this region’s light, slope, freeze cycles, and plant communities. You receive a plan that fits both the land and the climate.

  • The design process stays connected: You don’t need to start over. Tanya remains involved and remembers the details that shaped the original design.

  •  Plans that remain useful: Drawings are clear, scaled, and practical. They support installation now and leave room for growth later.

Why Homeowners in Bend Work with Carlsen Designs

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have a plan before we begin?

No. Many clients begin without a clear direction. The first step is meant to help you sort through ideas and move forward with more confidence.

Can I build the layout in stages?

 Yes. Most clients complete their landscapes over time. The drawings provide structure for each step.

Are the plans ready for contractors?

 Yes. Tanya provides scaled drawings with labeled zones and layout notes. You can share them with any installer.

Do you offer maintenance services?

No. Carlsen Landscape Design focuses on planning and layout. Referrals are available for maintenance if needed.

What happens if my needs change later?

You can return to the plan at any time. Tanya keeps project records and updates drawings as the space evolves.

Start With a Clear Step

Design begins with observation and a simple conversation. The site shows what it can hold, and the process helps you shape it into something steady.
