Landscape design and build means one team draws your project and the same team builds it. At Angkorscape, Thy designs it personally, prices it against the real build, and once you approve the design, that price holds.
The usual way to build a yard splits the work in two. You hire a designer, then hand their drawings to a contractor who bids the job and starts substituting materials and adding costs once the crew is on site. Two contracts, two schedules, and a final number nobody committed to at the start.
Angkorscape works from one contract instead. The design and the price are the same document, and the team that designed your project is the team that builds it. When you approve the design at verification, the price is set.
A signed no-change-order policy means the figure does not move unless you decide to change the scope yourself. This is how design build landscaping is supposed to work: no handoffs, no surprise line items, and one company answerable for the result.
Our landscape design and build services run through one crew, from the first site measurement to the last day on site. Here is what that includes.
Every project is designed by Thy personally, so your plan reflects one designer's eye from concept through construction.
Our 3D design shows your space in three dimensions before anything is built, with materials, planting, and lighting to scale, so the yard is decided on screen, not in the dirt.
Every cost maps to a real material or task. You see where each dollar goes before you commit, with no lump-sum guesswork.
Once the design is approved, the price is fixed under a signed no-change-order policy. Client-requested scope changes are the only thing that moves it.
Angkorscape prepares and files submissions with the right county authority and coordinates engineering where the build calls for it. Permit costs are billed separately.
The crew building your project works from the plan they helped shape, so nothing is interpreted secondhand.
Four stages take your project from first conversation to completed build, each one handled by the same Angkorscape team so nothing gets lost between phases.
We start at your property and talk through how you want to use the space and the budget you have in mind. You leave with an honest range before a single line is drawn.
Thy designs your space in 3D with line-item pricing from the first draft. You review it, we refine it together, and the price locks at design verification.
Submissions go to the authority for your address, whether Seattle SDCI, King County DPER, Pierce County PALS, or Snohomish County PDS. Engineering sign-off is arranged where needed, and no ground breaks until approvals are secured.
The crew that designed your project builds it, working from a plan they know inside out. One point of contact throughout, and the result is held to the standard set in the design.
There are two ways to start, whether you want to see your space in 3D first or move straight toward construction-ready plans.
Best if you want to see your space before committing to full construction. It includes a 3D walkthrough, high-resolution screenshots, and an initial estimate. The design fee is a separate cost and is not credited toward the build.
Everything in the Conceptual Design, plus 2D construction drawings with measurements, a detailed line-item bid, and a lighting layout. This is the package that is ready for permitting and installation.What projects actually cost, and what moves the number up or down, is broken down on our design-build pricing page.
Your budget is where the design starts, not a ceiling we reverse-engineer later. The plan you approve reflects what can actually be built for the money.
Design, permitting, and construction all sit with Angkorscape, from landscaping through hardscaping, so accountability never gets passed between a designer and a separate contractor.
The no-change-order policy means the number at verification is the number you pay. The only variable is a change you choose to make.
Angkorscape warranties workmanship for five years on hardscape and three years on carpentry, turf, concrete, lighting, and irrigation.
Every project starts from a different yard and a different goal. These are recent design and build projects Angkorscape has completed across Bellevue, the Eastside, and the wider Greater Seattle area.
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.
We started with their Conceptual Design to sort out layout and materials, then upgraded to the Build Tier once we were ready to pull the trigger. The in-person visit and site measurements made the plan feel very dialed-in, and the 3D views helped us see the space before anything was built. Smooth handoff into construction and the results match the design.
We just finished a large project and are extremely happy with the results. Every step along the way was organized, quick, and responsive. Starting with a great 3D model, selecting the materials, construction, plant selection, and finally now enjoying the finished backyard we want to thank everyone involved.
Thy and his crew were incredible to work with from design through to the end product. They are friendly, kind and creative. We absolutely love the end result - high quality that looks better than we could have expected. Best of all, the project finished on time and on budget. I highly recommend Angkorscape to anyone that’s looking for landscaping work.
I selected them to design and construct all landscaping around my house even they were not the lowest bid, but I believe hiring the same company to do a "design and build" can achieve the best result and quality to reflect the design. They helped me to select stones in reasonable price to meet my budget.

We transformed this Lake Tapps backyard into a low maintenance outdoor living space with Belgard pavers, a patio cover, fire pit, lighting, and multiple gathering areas.
To design and build landscape projects here, you have to work with the ground and the rules that come with it. Because design and construction sit with the same company, both get solved on the plan instead of mid-build.
The biggest risk in a large landscape project is a price that creeps once construction starts. The design-build model is built to remove that risk, because the same team sets the price and does the work.
As a design build landscaping company, Angkorscape handles both the design and the construction under a single contract. Thy designs your project, the same team builds it, and there is no gap where drawings get handed to an outside contractor. That continuity is what keeps the built result true to the plan you approved.
No. The design fee is a separate cost that pays for the 3D design, the line-item pricing, and the documentation. It is not deducted from the construction total, so you are paying for the design work as its own deliverable.
Not from our side. A signed no-change-order policy locks the price at design verification, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay. The only thing that changes the number is a scope change you decide to make.
Yes, all of it in-house. Angkorscape files submissions with the correct county authority, whether Seattle SDCI, King County DPER, Pierce County PALS, or Snohomish County PDS, and coordinates engineering sign-off where the build requires it. Permit costs are billed separately.
No. The design and the build are kept together on purpose, because the decisions made during design shape how the project gets constructed. Building from an outside plan breaks that alignment and creates gaps the team cannot stand behind.
Most Angkorscape projects start around $75,000 and run to $500,000 and up, averaging about $150,000. There is no strict minimum, but the process is built for projects of real scale rather than small one-off installs.
Payments follow four milestones: 10 percent at contract signing, 40 percent at kickoff, 40 percent at the halfway point, and the final 10 percent at completion. Every milestone is set out before work begins.
Yes. Angkorscape partners with HFS Financial so you can move forward with the full scope of your project rather than trimming the design to fit a cash budget. Options can be reviewed during your consultation.
Angkorscape backs workmanship for five years on hardscape and three years on carpentry, turf, concrete, lighting, and irrigation. Because the team that designed the project also built it, that coverage sits with one accountable company.
Every landscape design and build project starts with a plan, and yours can start this week. Tell us about your property and someone from our team will follow up within one business day to talk through your goals and what it will take to reach them.
