The base plan outlined the layout of the side yard, factoring in access points and existing elements like the AC unit. Because of the compact size, it was important to be intentional with every square foot. This stage helped the team strategize how to maximize the space and design a layout the homeowners could fully enjoy and use.

The conceptual plan finalized the design details including selected plants, finishes, and outdoor kitchen specifications such as counter height and layout. It also included style options for the pergola, wood fencing, and jar fountain, bringing together all the design elements into one cohesive and personalized plan.
