Visualize Your Dream Backyard

3D Design for Landscapes and Hardscapes

Visualize Your Outdoor Space Before the First Shovel Hits the Ground

At Marshall Landscaping, we know that upgrading your property is a major investment—and that the hardest part is often visualizing the final result before work begins. That’s why we offer professional 3D landscape design services as part of our full-service landscaping process. With a custom 3D design, you’ll see your new outdoor space from every angle, long before construction starts.

Whether you’re planning a complete outdoor living area, updating your front yard, or designing in phases, our 3D design service helps you feel confident in every decision.

  • Full-color, realistic visuals of your project
  • Day and night views from multiple angles
  • 2+ rounds of revisions included
  • Updated quotes based on design changes, with clear budget guidance
  • A matching 2D plan to accompany the 3D model
  • A detailed presentation with photos, material suggestions, and more
  • Contextual features like furniture and people to show scale
  • Confidence in knowing exactly what you're getting

When 3D Design Makes the Biggest Impact

Not every project needs a full design—but many benefit greatly from it. We recommend 3D design when you're planning a custom, creative, or large-scale project where visual clarity makes a difference.

3D Design is Ideal For:

  • Enhancing curb appeal with new front yard layouts
  • Replacing old shrubs with a complete planting refresh
  • Designing new patios, pathways, pools, or outdoor living spaces
  • Planning lighting, pools, pergolas, or structures
  • Visualizing a master plan or multi-phase project
  • Projects where scale, materials, or layout are complex

3D Design for Patios

Designing a patio is about more than just laying pavers—it’s about creating a space that fits your home, your style, and the way you live. With 3D design, you’ll see how your patio looks in daylight and evening lighting, how it connects to your landscape, and how it feels in proportion to your home. Whether you’re working with a blank slate or adding onto an existing space, we’ll help you visualize every detail before construction starts.

3D Design for Outdoor Kitchens

Outdoor kitchens are one of the most complex landscape features to plan—there are appliances, work zones, seating, materials, and lighting to consider. Our 3D design service makes it easy to experiment with layouts, finishes, and placements so you get a kitchen that’s as functional as it is beautiful. You’ll know exactly how your grill island fits the space and how guests will move through your outdoor entertaining area.

3D Design for Pools

Adding a pool changes everything about your landscape. With 3D modeling, we can show you how the pool integrates into your existing yard, how much space it really takes up, and how it looks with decking, fencing, planting, and outdoor living features. You’ll see how your pool looks from inside the house, from the patio, and even from a bird’s-eye view—before you break ground.

Our 3D designs are created by Lauren Swank, a professional landscape designer with over 20 years of experience and a degree in landscape design. Lauren uses advanced tools like Realtime Landscape Architect and Dynascape to model your space in vivid detail and help you bring your vision to life.

What If My Project Doesn't Need 3D Design?

For simpler or repair-focused projects, a full design isn’t always necessary. In those cases, we offer material suggestions, a single quote, and a straightforward process.

Projects That May Not Require Full Design:

  • Replacing dead shrubs with the same type
  • Grass replacements or turf updates
  • Small path or patio repairs
  • Concrete or asphalt installations
  • Drainage corrections and grading work

Our team will always recommend the right level of service based on your project. We're not here to upsell—we're here to help you get it right.

Frequently asked questions

3D Design FAQs

3D landscape design gives you a realistic, full-color model of your outdoor space from multiple angles—day and night. Unlike traditional 2D plans, a 3D design helps you understand scale, layout, materials, and how everything will work together before construction begins.

Not necessarily. We recommend 3D design for custom, complex, or larger-scale projects—especially when you’re adding new structures, hardscapes, or multi-phase features. For simpler jobs like turf updates or replacing plants with the same variety, a 3D model might not be needed.

3D design is available as part of our full-service landscape and hardscape installations. It’s not currently offered as a standalone service. During your consultation, we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit for your project.

The cost ranges from $0 to $250, depending on the scope and complexity of your project. Some designs are included at no charge for larger projects. We’ll give you clear pricing during your initial quote.

You’ll receive a detailed 3D rendering of your space, a matching 2D plan, and any visual references or photos needed to fully understand the design.

Every 3D design includes at least two rounds of revisions, so you have time to fine-tune layouts, materials, and features with your designer before the final plan is approved.

Yes—as close as possible. Our goal is to make the 3D model a true representation of what will be built. We use realistic materials and proportions so you know exactly what to expect.

In most cases, the full design and revision process takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the project size and the number of revisions. We’ll review your timeline during your initial consultation.

Client Testimonials

Leslie Alexander
All future customers of Marshall's Landscaping will be very pleased with Shawn and his crew for their skill and dedication to their project. We replaced and expanded our back patio. The crew's work was amazing in every aspect, down to every detail - true artists!
They were respectful of our property and cleaned up each day, assuring the newly paved front court was maintained -swept and hosed off. We greatly appreciated the grading and seeding at project completion.
Looking forward to doing business with Marshall Landscaping in the future .
Thanks Shawn!
