The phases

Step by step,
start to finish.

01
One focused conversation.

Discovery

We sit down with you — virtually or in person — and listen. Your vision, your property, your budget. We map out the full scope before a single line is drawn.

Discovery
02
Photoreal before it's real.

3D Design

Our designers build your outdoor space in full photoreal 3D. Walk through it, swap materials, adjust layouts — own every detail before a single stone is ordered.

3D Design
03
Revisions until it's right.

Finalization

We refine the design until it's exactly what you imagined. Then we lock it — delivering construction-ready plans and a complete material specification package.

Finalization
04
Expert execution.

Build

Your contractor builds from our documents. We stay available throughout — answering questions, reviewing submittals, and making sure the vision is built as designed.

Build
05
The space you always wanted.

Enjoy

Step outside and feel it. The space you imagined months ago — now real, exactly as you saw it. This is why we design before we build.

Frequently asked

Common questions

Can't find your answer? Reach out directly →

What is included in my design package?+

Every AEON package includes a detailed site plan, material and finish specifications, planting schedule, and photoreal 3D renderings. Signature and Estate packages also include permit-ready construction drawings and a dedicated project coordinator.

How does the process work?+

You start with a free 30-minute consultation. Then we gather your vision, measure your space, and our designers build your full 3D concept. You review it on a live video call, give feedback, and we refine until it's exactly right. You receive your complete design package in 6–9 weeks.

How do I know I'll find a contractor to build the design?+

For Southern California clients, we have a vetted builder network. For all other markets, we help you find, vet, and brief a qualified local contractor. Your construction package is written so any licensed general contractor can build it.

Why pay for a design when a contractor can draw something for free?+

A contractor's 'free design' is a sales tool built around their products and margins. AEON's design is independent, photoreal, and built around your vision. Clients who design first consistently spend less on construction and have zero regrets.

What's your design style — do you work with any aesthetic?+

We've designed everything from ultra-modern glass-and-concrete estates to relaxed tropical retreats. Our job is to design what's right for you, not impose an aesthetic. You own the vision; we execute it.

What documents do I receive with my design?+

You receive: photoreal 3D renderings, a scaled site plan, material and finish spec sheet, planting schedule with species and quantities, and (Signature/Estate) permit-ready construction drawings.

I live out of state — how do you handle measuring my space?+

We work remotely with all clients. We'll guide you through capturing what we need using your phone — measurements, site photos, and a video walkthrough. For larger Estate projects, we can arrange a site visit.

What if I don't like the design?+

We don't hand you a final file and say goodbye. Every package includes revision rounds built in — we don't lock the design until you're genuinely happy with it.

Can I supply my own contractor?+

Yes. Your design package is yours — take it to any licensed contractor. We'll brief them on the documents so they can price and build it accurately. We can also review their bids.
