We see Possibilities, not limitations.

Does your property have a view of something that you don’t like? Is it too shady, or too sunny, or are you having a hard time growing anything? Are you sick of mowing the lawn every weekend? As much as you like your neighbors, would you prefer a little more privacy when you’re sunbathing after having FINALLY finished mowing?

We at Design & Landscapes by Labrie Associates have had over 35 years experience in turning negatives into positives and listening to your needs and wants for your outdoor spaces. We have an award winning designer who can give you options, and an experienced crew who can make it happen. Why waste another moment of your life in a space that doesn’t make you happy? 

Before: a nondescript area of the property.

After: A patio for entertaining and a rose covered entry to the vegetable garden.

Custom Designs

How do you want to spend your time outside? Every property is different, and every homeowner has a different set of needs for their garden. We offer comprehensive design services, from designing a flowerbed that contains all your favorite flowers, to creating a pathway, pond, patio, or fire pit that brings your dreams of leisure time to life. We take great pleasure in making each and every custom design about YOU. 

We feel that landscape designs should have three parts: the design itself (what goes where), the illustration of what it will look like when installed so you can visualize it, and the promise of support after the final bill. We provide all three.

An outside room can be a sanctuary in today's fast-paced world. How do you want to spend your leisure time?

How do custom designs work?

Below is what a typical design to installation scenario looks like:
​
-We set up an appointment to come and visit your property.

-Next, we ask that you fill out our client questionnaire. This consists of a series of questions to help you think about what you want out of your property, and to help us know how to best help you.

-At the site visit, we walk around and talk about your wants, needs, hopes and dreams while looking at the space itself.

-After the visit, we will send you a detailed proposal outlining the design fees for your project and what is included. A 50% deposit is then required to get in the design queue.
​
-When we present your design, it will come with an estimate to do the work. Should you decide to go ahead, a deposit will secure your place on the installation calendar and before you know it, you will have a beautiful new addition to your property!

It's that simple.

MiniScapes™

Sometimes the budget doesn't allow for a full fledged custom design. This is where our MiniScape™ Designs come in! Our designer has created eight beautiful designs for you to choose from, each covering approximately 200 square feet, and filled with easy to care for plants. Each MiniScape™ is designed for a different situation - sun, shade, deer resistance, proximity to the road, native plants, extended color, etc. For as little as $1975.00*, our team will install your MiniScape™ from start to finish, preparing the site, planting the plants, and mulching to preserve moisture and keep weeds down. We will then provide you with a list of your plants and how to care for them in the months and years ahead.
​

* $1975.00 price will be confirmed at the initial site visit. More complicated site preparation (for example, shrubs that need removing or sites requiring drainage problems to be solved before planting) or alterations can incur extra costs. Price applies to properties within a 15 mile radius of North Hampton, NH. Outside that radius we can give you a quote for the extra travel time.

How do MiniScapes™ work?

The process of getting a MiniScape™ is even easier than having a custom design drawn, because they have already been designed.
​
-First, we set up an appointment to come and see where you would like to have the MiniScape put, and help you choose the right one for the site. We also check to make sure that there aren't any existing conditions that could impact the job.

​-Once the location and the particularMiniScape™ has been decided upon, a 50% deposit gets you on the installation list.
​
​-When it is time to install your MiniScape™, the crew will prepare the beds, place the plants in a custom arrangement, and finish up! Installation usually takes 1-2 days.
