Owner & Principal Designer, Angkorscape
Every project at Angkorscape tells a story. Yours begins with how you want to live outdoors. Your space should feel like an extension of your home, reflect your personality, and give you something distinctive that’s truly your own to be proud of.
Hi, I’m Thy, Angkorscape’s owner and principal designer. I’ll be your main point of contact from start to finish. I personally lead your design and work closely with our team to bring it to life.
My job starts with listening. I want to understand your vision, your goals, and what matters most to you. I bring years of experience designing outdoor living spaces to turn those ideas into a thoughtful plan, honoring your preferences while guiding the layout, proportions, materials, and planting so everything feels balanced and works beautifully together.
Designing your space is a collaboration. We’ll explore your ideas in 3D, review layouts together over Zoom, compare materials, and refine the details with your feedback. Through calls, emails, and texts, we’ll stay connected as the design takes shape. Your questions and honest input are essential to the process.
Together, we’ll create a plan that fits how you live and reflects the quality of design Angkorscape stands for. Before construction begins, you’ll understand the details and feel confident about what we’re building.
Here is what designing with me actually looks like, and the four things that shape every plan I create.
I measure your property in person, not from satellite images, taking accurate measurements, checking the slope, and studying the style of your home and neighborhood, so the design truly fits your space.
Every design I create is built around you. I blend your ideas and inspiration with my knowledge of a wide range of materials, so your yard looks distinct from what DIYers and general landscapers typically use.
I can design everything on your wish list, or design closer to your budget by prioritizing what matters most. I’ll guide you through both and help you choose the approach that fits your goals.
Because we design and build, everything I draw is practical and buildable. If your project needs permits or engineering, I guide you through it and make adjustments up front, so nothing needs to change when it’s time to build.

The 3D Conceptual Design helps you understand what your outdoor space could look like and approximately what it will cost to build. When it's time to bring that design to life, some projects need additional details, documentation, or professional support.
These services can be added as needed and include Construction Markup, Construction Installation Guide, Hands-On Plant Design, Permit & Engineering Coordination, and Land Use Research.
Once you approve the 3D Conceptual Design, Construction Markup is what makes it buildable. It layers the exact measurements and specifications a crew needs onto your approved design, so nothing gets guessed at on site.
Provided digitally, your Construction Markup includes:
If Angkorscape is hired to build your project, the Construction Markup is included as part of our construction services at no additional cost.
Markup tells a crew what to build. The Construction Installation Guide tells them how. It is the same set of build documents our own team works from, covering the methods, technical details, and installation requirements behind a correct build.
Provided digitally, your Construction Installation Guide may include:
The Construction Installation Guide requires the purchase of a Construction Markup. The Construction Markup is a separate service and is not included in the price.
Plants are the one part of a design that keeps changing after installation. This service pairs you with our plant specialist to build a planting plan around your preferences and the real conditions of each bed, from sunlight and soil to how big everything gets at maturity.
Your Hands-On Plant Design includes:
Not every project clears the front door without paperwork. When yours needs permits, engineering, or extra documentation before work can start, we coordinate the plans and professionals your jurisdiction requires and handle the back-and-forth with the city or county.
Your Permit & Engineering Coordination may include:
Permit fees, engineering fees, specialty consultants, studies, and other third-party costs are separate and may be required depending on the project.
Before you invest in a design, it helps to know what your property will actually allow. Land Use Research digs into the regulations tied to your specific parcel and surfaces the requirements or restrictions that could shape, or limit, what you build.
Your Land Use Research may include:
Land Use Research does not guarantee approval. Final requirements and approvals are determined by the applicable jurisdiction.
We start with a conversation to understand your goal for the space, your priorities, and a realistic sense of your budget.
Our team meets you on location to measure the property, walk the site in person, and confirm existing conditions.
Using Structure Studio, we build your design with clear pricing attached. A 3D landscape rendering pulls you into the process in a way flat plans cannot.
You approve the final design before anything moves toward construction or material ordering. See the full design and build process to know what to expect at each stage.
Your 3D design isn’t set aside once construction starts. It’s the exact plan our crew builds from, down to the measurements and materials you approved. What you see on screen is what gets built.
Clients tell us the same thing: the finished space matches what they pictured at the start. That is what seeing the design first makes possible.

I spent a lot of time researching different landscape designers, and without a doubt Angkorscape had the aesthetic I was looking for. The process was collaborative and they nailed what I was looking within my budget restraints.
If I had to sum it up, Angkorscape was worth every penny! Their design, communication, expertise, time and patience made this busy mom so appreciative to have someone do this project with such care. It was one less thing I had to juggle or worry about on top of everything else.
A design does two jobs before construction begins: it shows you what the space will look like, and it tells you what the space will cost. With a 3D landscape rendering, you can move a seating area, swap a paver, or cut a feature while it is still a file on a screen, not a change order on a job site.
That trade-off matters most on higher-investment properties, where one structural decision can shift the budget by five figures. Designing first means you make those calls with real information in front of you, not halfway through a build. It is also how our pricing stays clear from the start, since every element is priced as it is drawn.
Planning in 3D before you break ground gives you:
The 3D Conceptual Design is enough for many clients to make a decision. Others need documents to build from, and that is what the supporting services are for. Each is added only when the project calls for it, so you never pay for documentation your build does not need.
Here is what each one contributes once the concept is approved:
If your project touches setbacks, slopes, or protected areas, the last two are often where a build succeeds or stalls.
A design that ignores the site will not survive it. Across King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties, we design around the conditions that actually shape a Pacific Northwest property, from Bellevue and the Eastside to the water's edge.
Those conditions include:
Jurisdiction matters just as much as the ground. Seattle SDCI, King County DPER, Pierce County PALS, and Snohomish County PDS each set their own rules for impervious surface, critical areas, and permitting. Designing within those limits from the first draft is what keeps a project moving instead of stalling at submittal. Much of this planting and site work also feeds into our broader landscaping services once construction is underway.
Your outdoor space is worth planning before it is built. Schedule a consultation and see what 3D landscape design in Greater Seattle can do for your property: plan with confidence, price with clarity, and build without surprises. Whether you stop at the concept or carry it through permitting and installation, it starts with one conversation.

Our 3D Conceptual Design starts at $2,500. It includes an on-site property visit and measurements, two versions of 3D video renderings and screenshots, material and finish selections, conceptual plant placement for visualization, a Zoom design presentation, and project pricing.
Optional. The 3D Conceptual Design stands on its own. Supporting services like Construction Markup, a Construction Installation Guide, Hands-On Plant Design, Permit & Engineering Coordination, and Land Use Research are added only when your project needs them.
Construction Markup adds the dimensions, elevations, finished heights, and material specifications needed to accurately build the project. The Construction Installation Guide goes a step further, providing the construction methods and installation instructions for how each part should be built. The Installation Guide requires a Construction Markup and is priced separately.
Yes. If Angkorscape builds your project, both the Construction Markup and the Construction Installation Guide are included at no additional cost.
Some projects do, depending on scope and jurisdiction. Permit & Engineering Coordination helps coordinate the required plans, engineering, and documentation, and communicates with your city or county. Permit fees, engineering fees, specialty consultants, and other third-party costs are separate and may be required depending on the project.
Land Use Research helps you understand what you can and cannot do with your property before you design or build. It may cover zoning, setbacks, easements, lot coverage, and development restrictions, with a written summary of findings. It does not guarantee approval; final requirements are determined by the applicable jurisdiction.
We serve Seattle and the surrounding area, including King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties, with the same design process across every location.
