Design Process:

Step One: Consultation

The first step in creating your new landscape is the initial consultation. During our first meeting we will analyze the site and make decisions about the style and elements of your new landscape. It is best to prepare for this first visit by saving pictures and other materials that you feel reflect your style, as well as making a list of what you would like your design to include and how you plan on using your outdoor spaces.

Step Two: Concept Plan

After we have analyzed the site and reviewed design elements and styles, the next step is to develop a Concept Plan. This is the basic working design which we will then review to see what, if any, changes should be made prior to finalizing the plan.

Step Three: Master Plan

Once we have made the final changes, you will be presented with a Master Plan. This is the final design which will be presented to the contractor for bidding on your project and will be used by the contractor as the basic guide for installation of your design. Your master plan may include concept sketches, sample pictures, or other notes as needed.

Step Four: Referral Services

Once a Master Plan is ready for presentation we can provide you with referral assistance to a contractor suited to your project. If needed we can also provide assistance during the installation phase to make minor modifications to the plan or give general advice.
