—real humans, real fast, no fluff. We crank out clean, buildable designs that close deals and save you time.

We’re not just designers - we’re career landscape professionals who have built and operated successful landscape businesses ourselves. We understand the real-world challenges of estimating, selling, and delivering projects because we’ve been in your shoes. SCAPES was created to share that experience with other contractors, helping you streamline your process, elevate your designs, and ultimately win more work without the added overhead.

Our perspective on landscape design is that it is a sales tool first and foremost. If the job doesn’t sell, the design is useless. This idea drives everything we do. We constantly check ourselves to make sure we are keeping you in the best possible position to close the sale. Nothing else matters more to us.
