We create personalized landscape designs that enhance both the beauty and functionality of outdoor spaces. By carefully considering the client's lifestyle, site conditions, and aesthetic preferences, we craft custom landscapes that feel like a natural extension to their home.
DEVELOPMENTS
We collaborate with developers and engineering firms to design landscapes that align with city codes while enhancing the overall vision of a project. Our work includes tree mitigation plans, detailed specifications, and planting details to ensure compliance with regulations and sustainability goals.
PARKS
We design parks and community species that foster connection, recreation, and environmental sustainability. Through thoughtful planning and collaboration, we create outdoor environments that serve diverse user needs while enhancing the natural surroundings.
01
Concept Development: With the site information in hand, we create an initial design concept that reflects your aesthetic and functional goals. This phase includes rough sketches, mood boards, and preliminary layout ideas to establish the overall direction of the project.
Understanding the process
RESIDENTIAL Design
Consultation and Proposal: The process begins with a conversation about your vision, needs, and budget. During this initial consultation, we will gather information about your property, lifestyle, and design preferences. After the meeting, we provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, design fees, and project timeline.
Design Plan: Once the concept is refined, we develop a detailed landscape plan that includes hardscape elements, plant selections, and layout considerations. This phase ensures all aspects of the design align with your vision and practical needs.
Measurements and Site Analysis: Next, we visit the site to take precise measurements and assess existing conditions such as soil quality, drainage, sun exposure, and any site constraints. This step ensures that the design is tailored to the unique characteristics of your property.
Installation and Construction: With a finalized plan in place, the landscape installation begins. I collaborate with trusted contractors and oversee key stages of construction to ensure that every detail aligns with the design vision. The result is a beautifully crafted outdoor space that enhances your home and lifestyle.
Specifications and Details: To bring the design to life, we prepare precise construction details, material specifications, and planting plans. These documents provide clear guidance for contractors, ensuring a smooth installation process and compliance with any necessary regulations.

Park Design
“When my wife and I were looking for a landscape designer for our new home in Boise, Idaho, our realtor, Tina Richards, highly recommended Olivia Harman of Olivia Landscape Design, and we are so grateful that she did! Olivia designed a beautiful English Garden motif for our home that included a variety of numerous flowering plants and shrubs. She met with the installation company prior to the initial planting to make sure the design was understood by them and was available throughout the entire process to answer my questions and provide whatever support needed. Olivia is not only a highly skilled professional; she is also an absolute delight to work with: personable, accommodating, calm, and happy. She listens closely to her clients and wants to be sure that their wishes for the landscaping project are heard and carried out as desired. It’s been a joy to work with Olivia, and I know that all her present and future clients will feel the same way about her as my wife and I do. Thank you, Olivia! “

"Olivia designed a beautiful landscape plan that integrates perfectly
for our home in the foothills. We have several challenges with what can grow successfully around evergreen trees, wind and wildlife. Olivia did soil samples and plenty of research to determine the plant materials, hard scape, and overall design that we mutually agreed on via several in person meetings. Olivia was a joy to work with and we highly recommend!"

"Working with Olivia was an absolute pleasure! Her deep knowledge of plants and creative design skills exceeded our expectations. She designed a beautiful water feature, a covered patio, and a cozy fire pit area, transforming our outdoor space. In the front yard, she replaced the lawn with native plants, creating a more sustainable and visually stunning landscape. We highly recommend her!"
