Creating a better future by designing beautiful outdoor spaces that harmonize the needs of our clients and their ecosystems, now and into the future
At inContour, we believe that exceptional landscape architecture should balance beauty, function, and sustainable value. As a full service landscape architecture firm, we specialize in designing outdoor spaces that inspire and elevate—from private residences to public parks, playgrounds, and commercial projects. Our mission is to create landscape designs that don’t just look stunning but also offer long-lasting economic, social, and environmental returns.
We work closely with clients to bring their unique vision to life through landscape architecture that maximizes natural beauty and enhances property usability. Our Smartscaping™ strategies integrate advanced sustainable practices that are cost-effective and low-maintenance, reducing water use, minimizing maintenance needs, and lowering the property’s carbon footprint. Each landscape design is crafted to protect investments and even offers practical benefits, such as reducing insurance premiums by mitigating risks like wildfire damage.
Our firm’s approach to landscape architecture extends beyond aesthetics. By prioritizing efficiency, resilience, and resourcefulness, we ensure each design improves energy efficiency, conserves water, and enhances air quality. Our landscapes not only harmonize with nature but actively restore habitats for pollinators and wildlife, further enriching the ecosystem.
At the core of our landscape architecture firm’s ethos is the belief in using locally sourced materials and sustainable planting techniques. Our commitment to resource-efficient landscape design means that every inContour project provides both visual appeal and functional advantages, seamlessly integrating into the environment while enhancing long-term value.
Whether for homeowners, commercial developers, or municipalities, inContour’s custom landscape architecture solutions deliver projects that are as profitable as they are beautiful. Let us transform your outdoor space into a place of lasting value and natural harmony.
What we do...
Create Enduring Value Through Landscape Architecture
Lessa and inContour designed a remodel of our patio/lower yard area to create a more inviting, outdoor living environment. They were incredibly professional, easy with whom to work, and very communicative. They developed a solid plan, a schedule to execute the plan and they stuck to it. We were told what was happening and when; my expectations were exceeded! We started the redesign project during COVID so we weren't sure who we could get in a timely fashion. Lessa gave us a realistic deadline that we could live with and we were super lucky to have landed with her company. We just love our new outdoor space. We highly recommend InContour for your landscaping needs.

We highly recommend inContour based on our experience with the firm on our backyard landscaping design. The team at inContour provided a structured process and helped us develop an inspiring design for our backyard update. We appreciated how thoughtful, responsive, and attentive to detail the inContour team was with our project. inContour also has great relationships with other vendors in the Bozeman and surrounding area, so the team helped to connect us with builders and setup the install of our project. We would definitely work with inContour again.
