Design Packages

Flat-rate outdoor plans. From $499.

Hand the drawings to any installer — or to your own weekend self. Have AE build it and we credit your design fee back on the install invoice. No "call for pricing." No mystery deposits.

Real deliverables

Scaled CAD-quality PDFs, plant lists with caliper sizes, paver specs by brand and thickness. Not a Pinterest board.

Built by people who build

Every plan is drawn by the same designers who detail our $250k installs — so what's on paper actually constructs in the desert.

Credit toward install

Hire AE to install within 12 months and we credit the design fee — full credit on installs $10k+, 50% on $3k–$9,999.

What's in the Backyard Master Plan

  • Scaled site plan with hardscape, planting, lighting, irrigation
  • Paver / turf / DG specification (brand, thickness, base depth)
  • Shade structure footprint + post locations (no engineering stamp)
  • Plant + material sourcing list with quantities
  • Phasing plan so you can build in stages
  • 30-min Zoom walkthrough of the plan with our designer

Engineered drawings (pool structural, retaining wall over 4 ft, electrical service changes) are not included — when needed we coordinate with our partner engineers at published rates.

Common questions

Can I really hand this to another contractor?Open
Yes — the plan is yours. We deliver it as PDF + DWG (on Backyard Master Plan and up) so any competent landscaper, paver crew, or pool deck installer can build from it. The plan calls out brands and quantities so they can bid apples-to-apples.
What if my property is in a different city than Scottsdale?Open
We design across the Phoenix metro — Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Cave Creek, Carefree, Fountain Hills, Peoria, Glendale, and Anthem. Outside that radius we can still design (it just helps if you can share property photos and a recent survey).
Do you guarantee the plan will pass HOA review?Open
No designer can. What we do guarantee: every plant on the list is on the approved plant lists for the major Valley HOAs, and our drawings are formatted the way ARC committees expect to receive them. If your ARC requests changes, the included revision rounds cover them.
What if I want to add a pool later?Open
Order the Whole Property Plan up front. The master plan reserves space, utilities, and equipment-room access for a future pool so nothing has to be torn out when you're ready. Pool structural drawings are a separate scope through our pool division.
Refund policy?Open
Full refund any time before we begin drafting. Once your designer starts the first draft, the fee is non-refundable — but you keep whatever has been produced.
