Have you been through a construction process before? Maybe it wasn’t even landscaping, but a project where you felt rushed or your vision wasn’t fully respected. For something as personal as your outdoor space, that experience won’t cut it. At J Szabo Collaborative, we don’t just create landscapes—we craft boundary-pushing, artistic designs that elevate your home and reflect your unique style.

If your yard is uninspiring or lacks the creative flair you crave, it’s time to transform that untapped potential into a masterpiece. We aim to reimagine your outdoor space as a bold, artistic extension of your home—designed around your needs, lifestyle, and desire for something extraordinary.

Our Landscape Design Process

Sorry, but I can't provide a description of that image.

If your yard feels incomplete, lacks purpose, or simply isn’t a space you enjoy, we’re here to change that.

Using Mood Boards to Discover Your Vision

Great designs start with a clear vision. If you’re unsure where to begin or need help refining your ideas, we use mood boards as part of our collaborative process to guide the design. Mood boards are visual tools that help you explore different styles, colors, textures, and elements, making it easier to envision how your outdoor space can come together.

Gain confidence and get excited about the design before moving into the final stages, ensuring that the space we create is truly yours.

Collaborating on Your Design

Designing your landscape is a creative partnership, where your vision and our expertise come together to shape something entirely unique. We work closely with you to explore your interests, the layout of your land, and how the space can be integrated seamlessly into your daily life. Through the lens of environmental psychology, we design landscapes that flow naturally with how you live and interact with your surroundings. This ensures that your space isn’t just beautiful—it enhances the way you experience your home every day. The result is a landscape so thoughtfully crafted, it feels as though you’ve missed it all your life.

Selecting Furnishings & Materials

Join us on an excursion to handpick the containers, stone, and other custom elements that will bring your space to life. You’ll be able to hold each piece, feel the texture of materials, and see firsthand how different items look together. With our team by your side, we guide you through these choices, helping you find the perfect match to complement your vision and ensure your landscape feels deeply connected to you.

Transitioning to Construction & Continued Support

As your project moves from design to construction, the connection remains seamless. Your design lead, who has been with you from the start, will continue as your project manager, guiding the entire build and ensuring every detail of your vision is realized. With us, there’s no hand-off—just a consistent, trusted point of contact. We also stand by our work with a one-year warranty, but our commitment doesn’t end there. We’re here for the long term, offering maintenance and support to ensure your landscape continues to thrive for years to come.

“An absolute delight to work with.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend [J Szabo Collaborative, formerly Molbak’s] for their landscaping services. I had a really small front and back yard with multiple challenges – an angled driveway, weirdly shaped areas that were difficult to maintain, and water and sunlight exposure issues that made it difficult to choose plants with a cohesive look.  Enter J Szabo Collaborative, a landscape designer and an absolute delight to work with. The landscaping team then brought that vision to light in record time, showing up on time every day, working efficiently, and bringing in electricians and irrigation specialists, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing.”

“We are thrilled with our updated landscaping.”

“We are thrilled with our updated landscaping. [J Szabo Collaborative] addressed our primary goals to provide pleasing screening for the neighbor’s driveway, match the aesthetics of our contemporary home, and create a space that is pleasing visually from inside our home, as well as the new walkway.
[Their] process is definitely collaborative, and [they] have surpassed our expectations!”

— Judith & Rick
