The Design Process:
Initial Consultation:
We begin by meeting with homeowners for a free one hour consultation, we will
discuss design possibilities, site conditions, budget and design goals.
Needs Assessment
After our initial consultation and we have contractually agreed to prepare design
documents, our first step is to determine the homeowners needs. We can discuss
potential uses of the landscape, overall budget, curb appeal, entertaining areas,
sports activities, pet areas, storage areas and of course gardens. We determine if the
entire property is to be landscaped or if we will only be working on a portion or
perhaps just adding a specific garden bed, such as a butterfly garden or an English
Garden. We can help you with large or small projects.
Site Assessment
Investigating the site is critical to the success of our landscape design, we will collect
measurements and assess the condition and location of many of your sites attributes
including:
The site assessment insures you will be satisfied with your design plan now and in
the future. It is a requirement if the entire property is to be landscaped, when working
on a portion of the landscape we will assess that area only.
Design Sketch
With the homeowners input we create a modified digital photo of the home
incorporating plantings and hardscapes to meet your needs. This is a wonderful way
to visualize your home with its new landscape. Together we create a Design Program
deciding on which design alternatives work best and from this we proceed to create
Plan Drawings.
Plan Drawings
The plan drawings show the location of your home, hardscapes and the proposed
new plantings. These plans enable you to install your landscape all at once or for
budget reasons over a period of time. These plans can be used by reputable
landscapers to install the plantings and hardscapes. Plan drawings are done for the
entire property and for small jobs as well.
Plant and Materials List
This is complete list of all proposed plant and hardscaping materials. It indicates the
location of the material on the plan, the scientific and common name of plants, and
the quantity of each plant and material to be used. This combined with the Plan
Drawing become documents landscapers use to successfully plant and install your
new landscape.
Installation
We work with several reputable landscape contracting firms who will provide quotes
for the proposed work. We would be pleased to work with your landscaper as well.
