ELEMENTS OF DESIGN
Line. Form. Color. Texture. These are the four principle elements our designers use to create a custom landscape that looks great, feels great, makes you happy, and is a reflection of you and your lifestyle.

We understand that not everyone has the skill, knowledge, or time to create the garden of their dreams. That’s why we’re here. And our goal is simple: We want you to love coming home.
One-hour, in-home consultation.
Share your thoughts and ideas and ask anything you want regarding gardening and design. The purpose of this consultation is to help you save time and money by using our designer’s advice, knowledge, and experience. The consultation charge is between $200 and $250 depending on your location.
Your ideas + designer’s expertise
come to life on paper.
When the design is done, typically within 3 to 5 weeks, you drop by, sit down with your designer and go over the plans, ask any questions you want, and get a quote. Once you sign the dotted line and give us a 30% deposit, we’ll get your project on the calendar and let you know when to expect our crew.
The final step in transforming your dream into reality.
When your landscape project is complete, your designer will meet with you for a final walk-through. We’ll then provide you with detailed maintenance instructions and watering guidelines so your plants stay healthy and happy. At any time during the process please don’t hesitate to contact our office with any questions you may have.
It's not just the number of projects that counts. It's the number of satisfied customers. That's why most of our business comes from referrals.
We guarantee all trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcovers we plant for one year from the time of installation.
Custom, tailored, and personalized landscapes
We don't do "cookie cutter" designs. Rather, we approach every project based on input from you. After all, it's your home!
Did you know? A well-designed landscape can potentially increase the value of your home by up to 20%.
There's nothing worse than a dirty, cluttered jobsite, which is why we take pride in keeping everything clean and tidy.
We actually grow many of the plants we install. And that means better quality plants, less environmental impact, and plants that are acclimated to Oklahoma's climate.
“As a kid, my dad always had a huge garden. I’d pick veggies, put them in my little wagon, and sell them at the local store. Later in life, I went to college to study pharmacy, but after taking art and horticulture classes I knew I wanted to be a landscape designer. Maybe I just wanted to connect to my past.”
“What I love most about this business is solving other people’s problems. It’s really gratifying to start from scratch and witness the transformation that takes place in a landscape, but it’s even more gratifying to see a huge smile on a customer’s face when the job is done. It’s a great feeling.”
“Growing up on a farm began my love for nature and I was taught from an early age to identify plants and their uses. It wasn’t until years later that I found my calling and studied landscape architecture at Arizona State University. I’ve always been a problem solver, so designing landscapes ignites both my passions for designing a creative solution and beautifying outdoor spaces.”

Dear Southwood, Your Landscape Design Team did a wonderful job on all aspects of our project. We are very happy with the whole experience and the final product. For a long time, we wanted to have our landscaping overhauled along with other related outdoor work. For me to arrange for different contractors for each job… would be overwhelming. I was delighted when I found out Southwood could coordinate and oversee everything. Our next door neighbor’s beautiful SW installation reinforced our decision to choose Southwood. All of the people who worked on our project are excellent. When I went into the Design Center the first time, Becky happily listened to what I was considering and she explained the process. I decided right away to have her set up a consultation. She has been very helpful. Howard is super personable and an excellent designer. His ideas, plans and expertise brought the multifaceted project together. Not only did we need our flower beds, water feature and hardscape overhauled but also new lighting and sprinkler systems installed. In addition, we had drainage issues that needed to be addressed. The work had to also be coordinated with new guttering and driveway installations. All of it went very smoothly… especially considering all the recent crazy weather! Throughout the process, Howard was always happy to answer questions, listen to my input, solve new problems that arose and make changes and/or additions to the plan. I greatly appreciate his positive attitude. Lupe and his crew did a superb job executing the plans. From start to finish, they all did amazing work. They are multitalented, efficient and highly skilled artisans. Lupe patiently answered my many questions and cheerfully made the changes I asked for- like moving plants, rocks, etc. Also, I appreciate that they were all always polite and they straightened up the yard each time they left. We are so pleased with the way everything turned out. It is beautiful! The flower beds are laid out perfectly for my eclectic choice of plants. The flagstone walkways and rock borders look amazing. The lights highlight the plantings and walkways just right. We are also thankful the water drainage plan is working well. We haven’t needed our sprinkler system yet but we are thrilled it is set up for the summer days ahead of us. Southwood has always been one of my favorite places in Tulsa. For many years, I’ve enjoyed the displays inside and out, the music and walking around all the lovely areas. I especially appreciate the helpful friendly employees and the quality and selection of plants. I always tell those who haven’t been there that it’s not just a gardening center but it is an experience. The events, the newsletter, and your community involvement are all also commendable. I now can add the excellent Design Center to my list of why I love Southwood. You are an excellent business and a great asset to Tulsa. Our thanks to everyone involved. Sincerely, Read more “A wonderful experience”
EVERYTHING is coming along nicely and I have received numerous compliments. Even compliments for removing the huge Cherry Laurel. The Carolina Jasmine is doing well. I did have to trim it back because it was reaching over the Crepe Myrtle. There will be a maintenance factor in this regard, but I like it. Next year,… if all goes well, my plans are to continue around the side of the house to meet the patio. I may completely rock that small fenced area by the side garage door where trash cans are. Many thanks to you, Southwood and the work quality Read more “Thank you for the work quality”
