1. Initial Consultation – Understanding Your Vision
Every great landscape starts with a conversation. We take the time to understand your goals, style preferences, and how you want to use your outdoor space. By assessing your property’s unique features, opportunities, and potential challenges, we craft a plan that aligns with your vision.
During this phase, we discuss:
- Initial project scope
- Budget considerations
- Timeline expectations
If we’re the right fit for your project, we move forward with the Design-Build Agreement.
2. Design-Build Agreement – Laying the Groundwork
To ensure a clear and structured process, we formalize our commitment with a detailed agreement.
This includes:
- Preliminary budget figures
- A design deposit
- An overview of scheduling and payment terms
With a signed agreement and deposit, we officially launch the design phase and transition into Design Development.
3. Design Development – Setting the Foundation
A well-crafted landscape must integrate seamlessly with your property. That’s why we conduct a comprehensive site analysis, ensuring accuracy and precision from the start.
We document:
- Existing structures
- Terrain changes
- Boundaries
- Landscape features
Some projects may require a plot survey for additional accuracy. These insights become the foundation for a design that is both beautiful and functional, leading us into the Concept Review.
4. Concept Review – Bringing Your Ideas to Life
This is where your vision starts to take shape. Our design team develops a preliminary concept that balances aesthetics, function, and best landscape practices.
During this stage:
- The focus is on layout and spatial relationships
- A scaled drawing showcases key design elements
- Budget estimates are refined
We collaborate on any necessary adjustments before moving to the Finalized Design and Project Agreement.
5. Finalized Design & Project Agreement – Preparing for Installation
With every detail fine-tuned, we finalize the design and prepare for construction.
The project agreement outlines
- The full scope of work
- Materials and plant selections
- Construction elements
Any requested modifications are incorporated to ensure the design meets your expectations. Once approved, your project moves seamlessly into installation, where our team brings your dream landscape to life!
