The proterra process
From vision to reality. A thoughtful outdoor space starts with a thoughtful process.
From the initial consultation through final construction, Proterra Landscape provides a clear, organized approach to outdoor design and construction. Every project is different, but our process ensures that design, materials, site conditions, and construction details are considered before and throughout the build.
Step 1 — Consultation
We start with your property, your vision, and your goals.
We discuss how you want to use the space, the scope of work you're considering, your priorities, and the overall investment you have in mind. This helps us determine the right approach for your project from the beginning.
Step 2 — Site Evaluation
We evaluate the property before developing the solution.
Existing elevations, drainage, access, structures, utilities, and other site conditions are considered to identify opportunities and potential construction challenges.
Step 3 — Design & Planning
We turn the vision into a buildable plan.
When design is required, we develop the layout and overall direction of the project through professional 2D and/or 3D design. Materials, features, elevations, and important construction details are coordinated before work begins.
Step 4 — Construction
Our team brings the plan to life.
From site preparation and grading to hardscaping, retaining walls, outdoor features, landscaping, and finishing details, construction is completed with attention to both the design and the long-term performance of the space.
Step 5 — Final Walkthrough
Once construction is complete, we walk the project with you, review the completed work, and address final details before turning the finished outdoor space back over to you.
We finish with the details.

FAQs
-
Proterra Landscape specializes in custom outdoor design and construction, with a focus on complete backyard renovations, outdoor living spaces, patios and hardscapes, structural retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and landscape design.
Our approach is best suited for homeowners looking for thoughtfully planned, professionally constructed outdoor spaces rather than basic lawn maintenance or small landscape enhancements. Projects may involve a single major feature or a complete property transformation depending on your goals and site.
-
Every outdoor project is different, and investment can vary significantly based on the size of the space, site conditions, materials, grading, structural requirements, and features included. Standalone projects such as custom patios or retaining walls may require a smaller investment, while complete backyard transformations incorporating multiple elements often range from $50,000 to $150,000+, with larger, highly customized projects exceeding that range.
During your initial consultation, we'll discuss your goals and investment expectations so we can recommend an approach that makes sense for your property and project.
-
Project timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the work. Smaller standalone projects may be completed within 1–3 weeks, while larger outdoor renovations and complete backyard transformations may require 4–10+ weeks of construction.
Projects involving custom design, engineering, permitting, specialty materials, or multiple outdoor features may require additional planning before construction begins. Before your project starts, we'll provide a clear schedule and walk you through what to expect from planning through completion.
-
Yes. Proterra Landscape provides professional 2D and 3D design services for outdoor living and landscape projects. Depending on the scope, we can develop a complete plan that brings together patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire features, landscaping, lighting, grading, and other elements into one cohesive design.
Our design process allows you to visualize the space, refine materials and features, and address important site considerations before construction begins. For larger design-build projects, this creates a clear roadmap from the initial concept through the finished outdoor space.
-
Yes. Proterra Landscape specializes in complete outdoor renovations and can manage your project from initial design through construction. Rather than coordinating multiple contractors, our team can bring together patios and hardscapes, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire features, landscaping, lighting, grading, and drainage as part of one cohesive project.
By planning the property as a complete outdoor environment, we can coordinate elevations, materials, drainage, transitions, and individual features so the finished space feels intentional and works together as a whole.
-
Yes. When a project requires permits, engineering, or other professional documentation, Proterra Landscape can help coordinate those requirements as part of the project. This may include retaining wall engineering, site plans, grading and drainage considerations, permit applications, and coordination with architects, engineers, or local jurisdictions, depending on the scope of work.
Requirements vary by property and municipality, so we evaluate each project individually and identify any necessary approvals during the planning process.
-
Proterra Landscape works with premium materials selected for the design, performance, and requirements of each project. Depending on the application, we install concrete pavers, natural stone, porcelain pavers, segmental retaining wall systems, masonry, and other professional-grade outdoor materials.
We work with leading manufacturers and suppliers including Techo-Bloc, Belgard, Unilock, Keystone and other trusted brands. Material recommendations are based on your project's design, site conditions, intended use, and overall aesthetic—not a one-size-fits-all product.
During the design and planning process, we'll help you compare materials, colors, textures, and finishes to select the right combination for your outdoor space.
