What makes BrightNest different from traditional landscaping companies?
BrightNest isn’t just about landscaping—we design with energy, intention, and speed in mind. While traditional landscapers often focus only on installation, we combine professional design, region-smart plant selection, and AI-assisted visuals so you can see your transformation before a single plant is ordered.

We also:

• Deliver on-demand designs in days, not weeks
• Offer nationwide service through our virtual process
• Customize every plan to your style, home architecture, and sunlight patterns (using Google GIS to measure your space and know which way your home faces)
• Give you the freedom to DIY or use our curated network of vetted pros
• Focus on low-maintenance, high-impact results that look amazing year-round
   

In short—BrightNest blends design expertise, technology, and flexibility to create outdoor spaces that feel as good as they look, anywhere in the U.S.

Our process is designed to be fast, simple, and completely tailored to you—whether you’re local or across the country.

1. Take Our Style Quiz – In just a few minutes, you’ll share your design preferences, favorite colors, and overall vibe goals.
    
2. Upload Photos & Info – Send us clear photos of your space (straight-on and angled), plus any must-haves you want to see included. We also use Google GIS tools to measure your yard and determine your home’s orientation for sunlight patterns.
    
3. We Create Your Custom Design – Using your quiz results, photos, and wish list, we design your space with region-smart plants, balanced layouts, and AI-assisted visuals so you can preview the transformation before anything is installed.
    
4. You Review & Approve – You’ll receive your concept, materials list, and step-by-step plan. Make any small tweaks you’d like—we’ll adjust accordingly.
    
5. Choose Your Path – Install it yourself with our clear guide or schedule installation with one of our vetted pros (available in many areas nationwide).
    
6. Enjoy the Reveal – Your home’s curb appeal—and energy—gets an instant upgrade you’ll love coming home to every day.

BrightNest specializes in creating beautiful, energy-aligned outdoor spaces—from quick curb appeal upgrades to full-property sanctuary designs. Our core services include:

• Curb Appeal Packages – Fresh Energy, Vibe Boost, and Luxe Curb Appeal packages for instant transformations.
• On-Demand Curb Appeal Design – Nationwide, virtual design service delivered in days, complete with AI-assisted visuals, materials lists, and installation guides.
• Tranquility Spaces – Healing gardens, meditation & mindfulness corners, and therapeutic water features.
• Wellness Living – Outdoor yoga & movement decks, spa & retreat corners, and fire & light retreats.
• Energy Flow & Curb Appeal – Front entry transformations, pathway & driveway enhancements, custom mailbox & house numbers.
• Ongoing Care – Sanctuary maintenance, plant wellness programs, and seasonal style refreshes.
• Backyard & Outdoor Living Design – Custom layouts for retreats, entertainment areas, and functional family spaces.

Our visual designs are highly accurate representations of your final space, created using your photos, measurements, and style preferences. We use AI-assisted visuals combined with designer oversight to show plant placement, colors, and materials as closely as possible to the real-life result.

That said, certain factors—like plant growth stages, seasonal availability, and slight variations in materials—can mean your finished space may have minor differences from the rendering. We always:

• Choose plants and materials that match the design’s color, size, and style
• Ensure every element fits your space’s measurements, sun exposure, and climate (using Google GIS tools to confirm orientation)
• Provide a detailed materials list so you can source items that align with the visual plan
   

The design is your blueprint—and when paired with the right plants, materials, and installation, your space will look and feel exactly as intended.

We typically schedule projects within 1–2 weeks of approval, depending on the season. Book early for fall décor and holiday lighting, as spots fill fast! 

 Yes. A deposit is required to secure your spot and cover materials. The balance is due upon project completion. 

 Absolutely! We stand behind our work. If you’re not satisfied, let us know and we’ll make it right.
