A Backyard That Feels Like a Wellness Retreat
Outdoor Design That Supports Your Well-Being
The outdoors has the power to restore us when it’s designed with intention.
A quiet space to breathe. A path to move through. A corner to sit with the sun on your shoulders. When your outdoor environment supports your well-being, it becomes more than part of your home, it becomes part of your daily rhythm. From the ground beneath your feet to the sunlight on your shoulders, well-designed outdoor spaces offer something we all need more of: peace, clarity, connection, and balance.
We create spaces that help you slow down, breathe deeper, and feel better—right where you live. And we’re here to help you maintain that feeling, season after season.
Find Your Peace Outside
You don’t have to hike a mountain or travel far to experience the benefits of nature. A thoughtfully designed backyard can offer the same calming, energizing, and healing effects every day. With proper care, those benefits don’t fade, they grow.
Built for Real Life Outdoors
Every outdoor space we create is custom-built to reflect your lifestyle, vision, and property. Below are just a few of the features we specialize in and the materials and benefits behind each one.
Reduced Stress
Spending time outdoors has been shown to lower cortisol levels, reduce anxiety, and improve mood. A private patio, a quiet garden path, or even a shaded seating wall can invite those moments of calm. Routine upkeep like pruning and seasonal mulching helps these spaces remain welcoming and serene.
Increased Mindfulness & Clarity
When you’re outside, it’s easier to disconnect from the noise. Gentle movement, fresh air, and natural beauty help quiet your thoughts and center your focus.
Support for Physical Health
From encouraging daily movement to boosting Vitamin D, outdoor spaces gently invite healthier routines—whether you’re walking a garden path or relaxing in a plunge pool.
More Time Together
Spaces that feel good to be in naturally bring people together. A well-planned outdoor area helps create meaningful moments with family, friends, or even a little more time with yourself.
How We Design for Wellness
True wellness-focused outdoor spaces aren’t measured by extravagance, they’re built with intention and care. At Vision Design, we bring together natural elements, practical layout, and sensory detail to create spaces that support real-life wellness.
Here’s what that might include:
Each project is customized around your home, your lifestyle, and the rhythm of the seasons in Central Pennsylvania.
Natural stone patios or walkways for grounding and movement
Shade structures that invite lingering in fresh air
Quiet garden areas with layered native plantings and benches
Water elements like fountains or brooks that soften your surroundings
Plunge pools or hot tubs for physical recovery and mental ease
Outdoor saunas or showers that bring spa-like relief into everyday life

FROM OUR CLIENTS
“Very professional and hard working landscapers! It has been a pleasure working with Kendall and Nathan!!
We had a hill in our backyard which was difficult to mow and Kendall designed a plan which included a retaining wall, shrubbery and steps leading to our upper yard. They did an excellent job of blending in the new plantings with our existing landscape. We just love the results!”
