Custom Landscape and Outdoor Living Design in Duluth

Lush garden with stone landscaping features

Outdoor improvements are most successful when they support the way the homeowner actually lives. A large patio may not help if it lacks shade. Beautiful planting may not solve an unusable slope. A pool area may still feel unfinished without lighting, seating, and a clear connection to the home.

Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces helps Duluth homeowners plan the entire environment before construction begins.

Design With the Complete Property in Mind

Our team coordinates visible features with essential infrastructure so that the finished space is both attractive and functional.

Services may include:

Landscape design and installation
Patios, paths, walls, and steps
Outdoor kitchens and dining areas
Fire pits and fireplaces
Porches, decks, and pergolas
Drainage and grading
Outdoor lighting
Recreation courts and turf
Pool surroundings
Comprehensive renovations

The goal is a space that feels deliberate, balanced, and suited to your family.

Outdoor Planning for Duluth Homes

The right plan responds to lot size, neighborhood context, architecture, grade, tree cover, privacy, access, and existing improvements. It also considers how the family moves between the home, driveway, side yards, patio, lawn, and other destinations.

These practical decisions can make a significant difference in how often the outdoor space is used.

Professional Guidance at Every Stage

The Client Concierge will ask about your goals, intended use, timing, project elements, property ownership, decision-makers, and anticipated investment.

Based on that discovery, we recommend the appropriate consultation rather than asking you to select one without guidance.

Consult

Each project at Outdoor Makeover and Living Spaces begins with a symphony of listening and understanding. We pay close attention to our clients, immersing ourselves in their hopes and dreams. Our client concierge books a convenient consultation for you and the proper designer based on your objectives and desires. This meeting takes about an hour or two and dives deep into all sorts of possibilities so your yard matches your lifestyle.

Design

This is where your vision takes shape. Our designer will then come up with concepts and estimates for your project. Whether you want a hand-drawn sketch of the design, or the ability to walk through it with 3D Virtual Reality Consultations, we have you covered. Our standard consultation unfolds like a meticulously written score, with a hand-drawn makeover plan revealing the first notes of your outdoor makeover.

Build

Once you have approved the design, the project will go to our Project Manager’s Office. The PMO will ensure you are assigned the right superintendent and foreman to carry your vision across the finish line. They will massage the job to perfection, performing quality control and keeping you updated on the status of your project. Each project is a masterpiece, handcrafted with precision and attention to ensure that your vision is realized in every facet of your outdoor space.

Our Process

Can you combine landscaping with an outdoor kitchen project?

Yes. Planting, patio space, lighting, shade, utilities, seating, and circulation should be coordinated for the best result.

Can you work with an existing pool?

Yes. Pool surroundings can be updated with hardscaping, planting, lighting, structures, cooking areas, and improved circulation.

Do you handle large multi-service projects?

Yes. Complete outdoor transformations are a central part of Outdoor Makeover’s work.

Can a project be planned around future improvements?

Yes. Future phases should be identified early so current construction does not limit later options.
