A Landscape Architect would be qualified to do that.

Just curious, you designed your house on your own, but you seek a professional to design the driveway and patio?

Houses are easy, Mark. The challenge is the other people see a lot of the landscaping.

thank you Mark. I will look for a landscape architect.

I knew what I wanted in my house and there were a lot of online resources and books to help

there are not a lot of site design plans to scroll through, not many "critique my site design" posts and I haven't found any site design books at the library.

I want to have it done professionally because I will eventually put a large barn and small adu on the property and I want everything to work in harmony

Good designers start with the site.

I use to live in a stone house, so I threw glass.

You think these 7-8 "guys" want people to build MORE grandiose homes?

You haven't been here long enough. They mostly tell people where they're wasting money and square footage.

I bet they'd be very interested, as am I, in a mortgage-free, rectangular house. And they're here to help you. Or, at least they were.

I just wanted to share that I hired a landscape architect. It was the best thing I ever did. The design was perfect. I then hired a company to do the landscaping using the design. I did this over a few years as to do the whole thing at once was too expensive. The design made the process so easy and everything looked great. I think it’s really about what you want to do. I think I was the only one in our neighbourhood that hire a landscape architect.

Thank you for this info Jo. Very helpful

What is it about your drive that you don't like since you note it is already functional?
