My name is Patrick Petrone and I am an independent landscape designer located in San Diego. Originally from a small beach town in the “garden state” of New Jersey, I was drawn to plants and outdoor living at a young age. My passion and interests led me to study Landscape Architecture and horticulture at Clemson University. My experiences working and studying around the country have given me versatility when it comes to design style, allowing me to cater to your needs and preferences. I am particularly versed in Southern California plant selection and design culture, as I have spent the majority of my career here. I can offer you both 2-D plans and 3-D visualizations. I work by the motto that “design is function”; My goal is to provide you with an outdoor design that is both beautiful and usable. I will work with you throughout the design process to develop your dream landscape that incorporates your wants, needs, and goals. Call today for a quote (732) 865-4946

"Patrick really took the time to listen to what my wife and I wanted, spent time in our backyard to understand the feel of what we wanted and came up with beautiful, imaginative design. Great knowledge of plants and vision - definitely recommend Patrick."

Design and decorating services FAQs

Interior designers and interior decorators have distinct roles. Interior designers manage a space's functionality and aesthetics through comprehensive planning, structural design, and adherence to building codes. They are professionally trained and often certified, which contributes to higher fees. In contrast, interior decorators focus solely on enhancing the appearance with color, furnishings, and decorative elements.

To prepare for working with an interior designer or decorator, establish a clear vision of your design goals and budget. Collect inspiration from completed projects and organize images that reflect your desired style. Define your objectives and key priorities, and communicate these details to the professional to ensure your project progresses smoothly.

An interior designer can save money by delivering a well-organized project that prevents costly mistakes and ensures adherence to building codes. Their expertise streamlines decision-making and secures trade pricing on materials, reducing additional markups. With strategic planning and professional coordination, you’ll lower the overall project expenses while optimizing design efficiency.

Interior design projects often take longer than decorating due to the need for structural planning, construction elements, and potential demolition. An interior design project may require two to three months to complete, while an interior decorating project often takes one to two months. Detailed planning and necessary approvals can extend the timeline for comprehensive projects.

Review each professional’s portfolio and compare their quotes to choose the right designer or decorator. Start by identifying three professionals whose work aligns with your design vision. Schedule meetings to assess how well they understand your requirements and whether they meet your project needs. This methodical approach helps you select the best design professional to bring your vision to life.
