Here’s how BACQYARD's online landscape design process works:

1. Onboarding

Now that you've got a BACQYARD design package, you can start turning your outside area into something unique. What comes next? The onboarding process gets you off to a great start! First, you'll be asked to share images and videos of your yard to give your design team a good picture of the area you want to design. You don't need to worry! We have a very easy step-by-step process outlining what kind of images we need and what angles to take them.

Additionally, we will ask you to complete the onboarding questionnaire, which will give us more details on how you intend to utilize the space, your budget, and your preferences. This step is essential since it prepares you for a customized experience based on your goals and needs.

2. Remote Mapping Process

You may be asking, how can we get measurements of your property without you providing them? With just my address, you can get everything you need. Yes! We have a very detailed process, this is what we call the remote mapping process. We use a combination of satellite imagery, topographical maps (for elevations and drainage), access to publically available information about your property, and the photos and videos that you submit. We combine all this information to create an accurate 3D model of your entire property, with dimensions, elevation, drainage, and sun/shade patterns.

This remote mapping process acts as the base on which your designer will build their beautiful design.

3. Meeting your designer(optional)

Once you are satisfied with the mapping review and are prepared to begin your outdoor renovation project with BACQYARD, It’s time to meet your designer and kick off the project,

Remember that onboarding process we asked you to complete in the beginning? BACQYARD uses the answers to this onboarding process to pair you with a designer who fits your style, knows your local area, and can design with your budget in mind. These designers are a dream team of architects, landscape architects, horticulturists, and construction experts prepared to transform your outside area into a work of art. They are not just any designers but experts in making your outdoor design dreams come true.

After being matched with a designer, you'll have the option to schedule a video call to meet them and share any additional items you wish. If you are on a time crunch, you can skip this first call, and we can start working on your design immediately. 

 4. Initial Design

After meeting your designer, your design team will start on the initial design by preparing conceptual design renderings to show you what direction we are heading with the design. This phase can take about 10 to 14 days to complete, depending on how large and complex your property is. When you receive the initial design, it takes as much time as you need to review it. This initial design will include 3D renderings of your new yard, along with a plant list of all the plants your design team hand-selected for your design, materials, furniture, accessories, and a budget so you can see what is being spent where. 

However, cooperation and feedback are where the real magic happens. BACQYARD invites you to use our feedback platform and schedule follow-up conversations with the designer to offer input on the initial designs and ensure that your outdoor area is designed just as you imagine it.

5. Final Design

The final design step of the thrilling BACQYARD outdoor space transformation adventure is where your fantasy begins to take shape. Our skilled designers use your input from the initial design as their compass.

The BACQYARD team will consider your feedback and adjust the design until it precisely reflects your concept. 

Once the final design is ready and upon approval of the final design, you will receive a complete set of plans for your installer. It includes updated 3D renderings that make your design come to life, thorough lists of plants and materials to help you decide what to buy, furniture recommendations (if you want to give your place a little flare), and all the installation plans ready for your contractor with dimensions, and any other installation details. 

The final design with BACQYARD isn't merely the end but also the beginning of your outdoor oasis.

 6. Contractor Matching

This phase is also optional. If you have your contractor, our plans are standard, and any contractor can use them. But do you need a contractor and need help finding the appropriate one to make it happen? That's where BACQYARD's contractor match team makes contractor matching simple.

The contractor match build team at BACQYARD is like a matchmaker in the landscaping industry; it can help you find knowledgeable professionals who can make your vision a reality. Whether you're seeking a complete revamp or simply a few modifications, they put in endless effort to ensure your project is in excellent hands.
