Your Vision, Our Expertise
TRANSFORMING OUTDOOR SPACES
For over 26 years, Westside Professional Landscape has been designing and building stunning outdoor environments for homeowners and businesses across Monroe County. Whether you’re envisioning a complete property transformation or a targeted enhancement to your front entrance, our design team works closely with you to develop a plan that reflects your style, meets your functional needs, and respects your budget.
Every project begins with a thorough site assessment. We evaluate your property's soil conditions, sun exposure, drainage patterns, and existing features. This allows us to recommend plants, materials, and layouts that will thrive in Rochester's unique four-season climate — from the humid summers to the harsh winters that define our region.

PLANTING DESIGN & INSTALLATION
We select trees, shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses that are suited to Western New York's USDA Zone 6a growing conditions. Our planting designs consider bloom times, foliage color, mature sizes, and maintenance requirements — so your landscape delivers year-round beauty with manageable upkeep. From specimen trees to foundation plantings, every plant has a purpose.
- Native and adapted species
- Four-season interest design
- Specimen trees & ornamentals
GRADING & DRAINAGE
Proper grading and drainage are the foundation of any lasting landscape. Rochester's clay-heavy soils and frequent rain events demand careful water management. We design and install French drains, catch basins, dry creek beds, and regrading solutions that protect your home's foundation and keep your lawn from becoming a swamp every spring.

Common Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED
How much does landscape design cost in Rochester?
Costs vary based on the scope of the project, property size, and materials selected. We provide free on-site consultations and detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Most residential projects in the Greater Rochester area range from a few thousand dollars for targeted enhancements to significantly more for full property transformations.
What is the best time of year to start a landscaping project?
In Rochester, spring (April–June) and fall (September–October) are the ideal windows for planting and installation. Cooler temperatures and reliable rainfall help new plants establish roots. However, hardscape work and design consultations can happen year-round — starting the design process in winter means you're ready to break ground as soon as the season opens.
Do you work with existing landscaping or only start from scratch?
Both. Many of our projects involve enhancing or renovating existing landscapes rather than starting over. During the site assessment, we evaluate what's working, what can be preserved, and what should be replaced — then build a plan that makes the most of your property's existing features.
How long does a typical landscape installation take?
Timeline depends on the project scope. A targeted front-entry redesign might take a few days, while a full property transformation with hardscaping, planting, and grading can take several weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the proposal phase so you can plan accordingly.
