Custom Landscape Consultations 

A landscape consultation with Carlsen Designs is a budget-friendly way to get the professional help you need for your landscape when you might not be ready for a full plan. Consult with Carlsen Designs for answers to all your questions, get specific recommendations for the plants, hardscape materials, layout, and more without breaking the bank.

After the visit, you receive specific notes detailing what to do, how to do it, contractor recommendations, and any other pertinent information to help you achieve your landscape goals. Every consultation client also becomes a "client for life" and can touch base throughout the years with questions to help ensure the landscape excels.

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.
