Full-Service Landscape Design & Management

We work with you to create beautiful, healthy, sustainable places in which to live, learn, work, play, and heal.

 

STEP 1

Initial Consultation & Site Visit

We take pride in doing our due diligence in getting to know you and your lifestyle, as well as understanding your needs and the dreams you have for your home. The process begins with a consultation of your wants, needs, and budget, and a site visit to get acquainted with the specifics of your space.

STEP 2

3D Visualization & Client Collaboration

Next is the presentation of concepts and presentation of materials and dimensions. We will create two to three concepts for the design of your space, including plant lists and space plans, and develop a 3D virtual walk-through of your chosen concept using advanced digital technology. During this stage, we will work together to fine tune the design and make sure our shared vision comes to life.

STEP 3

Detailed Architectural Master Plans

Once the design has been finalized, we will produce detailed architectural master plans. The presentation of the master plan includes a top view schematic, 3D schematic, animated walk-through, mood board, materials list, and architectural drawings for construction. These plans will guide your contractor, construction team, landscapers, and other workers as they create the landscape of your dreams.

STEP 4

Construction Phase

As the construction of your new landscape design takes place, we will be available to advise, answer questions, and work through any roadblocks that may arise. We will continue our dedicated project management by helping you hire a contractor, place orders, and arrange deliveries. Additionally, we will attend installation days and complete site inspections and site revisions. We will be with you from the beginning to the end of your landscaping project, first as your designer, then as your advocate. (Project tendering and monitoring are charged per hour.)

FAQs

  • It depends on the needs of your project. For example, a small apartment patio might be completed within a week or two, while a comprehensive design for your property might take several weeks to 3 months.

  • I design with your overall construction budget in mind. During the Conceptual Planning phase, I will work with you to understand the budget impacts of design options we are considering so that you can make informed decisions. Commonly, landscape budget investment on a premium home is about 10% of the sale or build price of the house.

  • I charge a flat fee for the design. If you would like me to continue to manage the project after the design is complete, this will be at my hourly rate.

  • Your landscape design is created after I visit your property, interview you about your family’s needs, and consider the inspiration images you have given me. My initial design concept will include two or three options for your review, then I will draft a revised design based on your feedback. This is a collaborative process, and you have final approval.
