Most people choose a six-figure garden from a few samples and their imagination. A 3D model changes that. You stand on the terrace, walk down the stair, look back at the house, and see the lights come on — before anything is built.
The 3D images on this page come from two illustrative sample Estate commissions — concept designs, not client projects. Final work is always per the signed proposal.
A picture, or a plan in 3D?
Not all 3D is the same. A pretty rendering can show stone that doesn’t fit the slope, stairs that wouldn’t pass code or walls with no footing. Ours starts from the drawing set: the property measured on site, the plan drawn to scale, every riser and wall height worked out. Then the 3D is built from that plan — so what you approve is what we can build.
What you see.
- The whole garden from above, and every space at eye level.
- Your stone choices on the walls, caps, steps and terraces.
- Furniture, fireplaces, fountains and outdoor rooms at their true size.
- The lighting plan, from golden hour to after dark.
Two estates. Walk either one.
Both samples are drawn to scale in Potomac and built in 3D — one formal, one Tuscan. Turn the time of day, switch the stone on the walls and the terraces, and walk every space yourself.
The Potomac Estate
A formal garden in thermal bluestone and natural stone: the arrival court and its fountain, a grand stair, the pool and pavilion, the fountain court and the fire garden.

The Tuscan Estate
A hilltop villa above three terraces of Tuscan fieldstone: a stone kitchen with a wood-fired oven, a sunken fire pit, a grotto behind a curtain of water and a rock slide into the lagoon.
Walk it in 3D →What it costs.
National guides put a landscape design at about $2,200 to $6,180, with still 3D renderings adding about $400 to $500. The Design Commission is priced for drawings you can build from: The Terrace $1,250, The Garden $2,950 (3D +$2,500), and The Estate from $9,500 with your home in 3D included. For our launch, the first three Estate commissions are $7,500.
Request the Design Commission — or ask Edgar to walk your property first.
