About Us
DEARBORN DESIGNS
For over 20 years, clients have welcomed me into their homes—and into their lives—to dream, plan, and create outdoor spaces they truly love.
Personal Enjoyment, Built In
The approach is simple: listen first, design second.
The Art of Listening
Every great outdoor space starts with paying attention. I don’t just ask questions—I listen. I want to understand your vision, how you live, what matters most, and how you actually want to use your space. That’s the secret to designing landscapes that feel personal, functional, and effortless.
When listening comes first, collaboration happens naturally. The result isn’t just a “pretty yard”—it’s a space that fits your life, invites enjoyment, and grows more loved every day.
Lexi Dearborn CLD is the founder and creative force behind Dearborn Designs, bringing imagination, experience, and thoughtful planning to every landscape she designs.
Design With a Pulse
Landscapes for Living
Great outdoor spaces don’t just happen—they’re designed with purpose. They mirror how we move, connect, unwind, celebrate, and find quiet moments. I create spaces that go beyond beautiful visuals to reflect real life, inviting experiences that linger long after you step outside.
My work turns ideas into outdoor rooms that spark connection, cultivate memories, and offer a calm place to land at the end of the day. Every choice is intentional. Every design is personal. The goal is simple: a space that feels instantly right—and only better with time.
Experience That Grounds Creativity
Think Beyond
Being a CNLA Certified Landscape Designer is more than a title—it’s proof of a career built on curiosity, skill, and a love for making outdoor spaces come alive. Every project I take on starts with interesting ideas, a clear vision, and an understanding of how people actually use the spaces they live in.
Creating enduring landscapes is about more than just creativity; it involves experience, knowledge, and precision. With over 25 years of hands-on experience in design and construction, I take pride in designing landscapes that are practical and built to last.
The result? Outdoor spaces that feel effortless, evolve over time, and become genuinely loved by the people who live in them.
