The Design Package
DISCOVER What you WILL receive when you DESIGN YOUR OUTDOOR PROJECT WITH SOLEA.
My name is Raquel, and I run Solea as a boutique design studio focused on designing truly custom outdoor spaces. I don’t take on a high volume of projects, and I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all design. Every space I work on is approached as its own creative opportunity, which is completely unique to you and your property, not something pulled from a template or repeated from the last project.
Because of that, my process is fully intentional. I take the time to really understand how you want to live in your space, what draws you in, how you gather, and how you relax. I also take detailed site measurements and scans to accurately recreate your home and landscape in vivid three-dimensional detail. From there, I design around all of those details, shaping a space that feels personal, functional, and thoughtfully composed.
You’ll be working directly with me throughout the process. I’ll listen closely, guide you where it matters, and refine every element until it feels right. Through realistic 3D models and immersive designs visualizations, you’ll be able to clearly experience the space before it is built. The end result is something that isn’t just well-designed, it’s one-of-a-kind, and it reflects you in a way that only a truly custom, technology-driven approach can.
Our commitment to delivering exceptional work is reflected in our 5-star reputation on Google and Yelp. We strive to deliver designs our clients are thrilled with.
We begin by recreating your home and entire property in a precise 3D model, capturing all existing structures, features, and plantings. This complete context allows us to design with intention, ensuring every element feels cohesive, functional, and seamlessly integrated into your space.
Using advanced visualization technology, we create photo-realistic renderings that bring your future outdoor space to life with striking clarity. These visuals allow you to explore different design directions, materials, and layouts, so you can confidently refine your vision and see exactly how every element will come together.
Using advanced visualization tools, we create cinematic fly-through videos that guide you through your future outdoor space with lifelike motion and perspective. These immersive experiences allow you to fully understand scale, flow, and atmosphere, helping you make confident decisions and visualize how the entire space will feel before it’s built.
We create a fully dimensioned master plan that organizes your outdoor space with clarity, balance, and purpose. By mapping out exact measurements and spatial relationships, this plan ensures every feature is properly aligned, giving you confidence that the design is both beautiful and buildable.
A curated planting plan is thoughtfully developed to complement your environment, architecture, and lifestyle. Each plant is selected for its performance, scale, and visual impact, creating a cohesive, enduring landscape that feels refined and naturally connected to its surroundings over time.
We start with a focused phone consultation to gather key details about your project. This allows us to understand your needs, timeline, and general vision so we can arrive prepared for the next step.
We meet on-site to walk your property, understand its conditions, and learn your vision, lifestyle, and goals. We also discuss your target budget so the design aligns thoughtfully with your investment.
With a clear understanding of your space and goals, we return to the studio to start brainstorming. Through sharing curated ideas and styles with you, we define a clear design direction.
Armed with a clear creative direction, we build a detailed model of your property and design your new space in 3D. You’ll experience it through cinematic fly-through videos and realistic images.
After reviewing your initial design, we collaborate with you to refine the layouts, materials, and features to ensure the design is truly perfect for you. Our goal is simple: a final design you love.
It all comes together in the final step. You’ll receive a complete design package with dimensioned plans, plant lists, 3D renderings, and cinematic fly-through video. You can move forward with any contractor you choose.
Your project deserves meticulous planning. We carefully define the materials, construction methods, and technical specifications that guide your builder, ensuring exceptional quality and a beautifully executed build.
Beautiful landscapes should thrive. Every design is tailored to your local environment, ensuring long-term health, lower maintenance, and a landscape that actually gets better over time.
With advanced 3D visualization, you won’t have to guess how your space will look, you’ll experience it. Walk through your future space and make decisions with confidence.
We deliver fully developed, construction-ready plans you own. Build on your timeline, with the contractor you trust. No restrictions—just the freedom to bring your vision to life, your way.
My wife and I are blown away by the landscape design that Raquel crafted for us! From the start, she listened to every single idea we had, and then crafted them into a stunning design with so many custom elements... such as a gorgeous stamped concrete patio, flagstone path, elegant retaining walls, and so much more. The design is beyond what we could ever have imagined. Her 3D design work and virtual "fly through" are serious game-changers. We could see every detail with vivid clarity and refine it until we felt it was exactly what we hoped for. Raquel was patient, creative, and a total pro! We honestly couldn't be happier with our backyard landscape design. Thank you, Raquel!!
Raquel and Solea Landscapes did an amazing job on our huge front yard. We had very few ideas about what we wanted, but many about what we didn't. She listened to our concerns and incorporated everything we asked for. The 3D rendering she provided gave us so much confidence in our decision. Our new front yard is the talk of the neighborhood, especially now that all the plants are starting to grow and bloom. We can't wait until they all fill in and provide the xeriscaping oasis we envisioned.
