Homestead & South Dade
Landscape Design & Build in Homestead, FL
When you want a complete outdoor space rather than a list of separate jobs, you hire one company to design it and build it. Greene & Stone Outdoor draws the plan, prices the whole project, and coordinates the licensed crews who construct it, so you deal with one accountable team from the first sketch to the final stone.
The real problem
Why Piecemeal Landscaping Costs You More
A patio one year, a few plants the next, an irrigation line the spring after. Built piece by piece, an outdoor space never quite fits together, and the parts installed first usually get torn up to make room for what comes later. A single design settles grading, drainage, hardscape, planting, and lighting at once, so your money goes into the result instead of into rework.
- “I keep adding to the yard and it still feels unfinished.”
- “Every contractor only wants to do their one piece.”
- “The patio installer and the irrigation guy gave me conflicting advice.”
- “I do not want to manage four crews and three timelines.”
- “I want a plan that accounts for drainage and storms, not just looks.”
- “Every designer I called wants to draw it and then hand me a list of contractors.”
What you get
What a Design-Build Project Includes
- Site analysis and a measured plan. We assess soil, drainage, sun, and grade first, so the design works on your actual lot rather than on paper.
- A single itemized proposal. You see the cost of the whole project up front, which keeps surprise change orders out of the middle of the build.
- Hardscape and structures. Patios, walls, driveways, and outdoor living elements are engineered and built to hold up in South Florida conditions.
- Planting and sod. Trees, beds, and lawn areas are chosen for your light and soil, so they establish instead of struggle.
- Irrigation and lighting. Water and light are designed into the plan from the start, not bolted on after the fact.
- One point of contact. You talk to one team for the entire build, so no detail is dropped between trades.
Part of a larger plan
Most projects combine more than one of these. The pieces are designed together so they work as one finished space.
From first sketch to final stone
How the Project Comes Together
- 1
Site Visit and Consultation
You walk the property with us and tell us how you want to use the space. We look at the soil, drainage, sun, and existing features, then talk through a realistic budget before anyone draws a line.
- 2
Design and Proposal
You get a design and a clear, itemized proposal for the whole project, not a vague range. Nothing is ordered or scheduled until you approve both the plan and the price.
- 3
Construction and Build
One team handles the work in the right sequence, coordinating the licensed crews who build it. You have a single point of contact for the entire project, so questions get answered the same day.
- 4
Walkthrough and Finish
You walk the finished space with us, and it is not done until you say it is. You leave with care guidance and a clear picture of how everything was built.
What it costs
What Drives the Number
Scope, materials, site conditions, and access set the number, and a single designed feature sits well below a multi-element backyard build. Every project ends in an itemized proposal after a free site visit, so you are never working from a guess.

Before you call
Common Questions from Homestead Property Owners
Do you handle both the design and the construction?
Yes. You hire one company that owns the design and the build from the first drawing to the final result, coordinating the licensed professionals who do the construction. That means no handoffs for you to manage and one point of accountability.
What size projects do you take on?
A single designed feature begins there, and full multi-element backyard builds generally start around the range on the pricing page.
Can you work from a plan I already have?
Often, yes. We can build from an existing design or refine it, though we review it first for drainage, grade, and South Florida conditions so the finished space actually performs.
How long does a design-build project take?
It depends on scope and permitting, which we walk through during the proposal. You get a realistic schedule before work begins, not an open-ended commitment.
Do you pull permits?
When a project requires permits, the licensed building professionals coordinate them as part of the work, so the construction is done to code.
Who actually draws the plan?
The same company that builds it. Design and construction sequencing are decided together, so the drawing you approve is a drawing that can be built on your lot at the budget you agreed to.
