The Design Process
The timeline of a typical landscape design project.
Your initial contact with us:
 Since your project is unique, we will begin with an initial
phone conversation to determine the most effective approach to
your landscape design project. It may be that a
consultation of
an hour or two at your home will be enough to start you in the
right direction. Or we may recommend a meeting at your property
in order to prepare an accurate and more complete landscape
design proposal. And remember - the
initial phone conversation or on-site design estimate is always
FREE!
The design process:
Once we agree on the landscape design
services to be provided, we will determine a schedule to
review the progression of your landscape design. This schedule
will vary depending on the scope of your particular project.
Often, as questions arise, we will transmit progress plans and
sketches to you via email for discussion. When the design is
complete, you will receive a digital copy of your plans and
specifications. This is useful for emailing the plans to printing
companies, prospective bidders, your Homeowners’ Association,
etc.
 And don’t forget - when the design work is complete, we are
available to assist in the construction phase (or phases) of
your project. We will gladly provide names of experienced
professionals that can best implement the construction of your
design. Or if you prefer, we offer
construction management
assistance in working with you or your selected contractors
during construction.
What will the design cost?
Because we work primarily in
AutoCAD (computer-aided
design) format, we are very efficient and can offer
competitive and affordable pricing for our work. We are a small
company, and do not have the higher overhead costs of a large
landscape architectural firm. And the initial phone call or
on-site design estimate is always free of charge. Often we can
give you a general idea of the design costs right over the phone
once we discuss the scope of your project.
