How We Work

Design & Installation Process

A successful design starts with the client. Our designs are based on the individuality of each client and the unique quality of every site and every home.

Our Four-Phase Approach

From Vision to Reality

01
Understanding your vision

Phase 01: Creating Concepts

To begin your project, we will meet with you to help determine your needs and the type of environment you wish to create. At this point it is a good idea to figure out how much you want to spend on your new landscape. Professional landscape designers and real estate professionals say it's reasonable to spend 10% to 20% of the total home value on a professionally installed landscape.

Phase 02: Project Initiation

After the concept is finalized, you decide if all components of the plan are to be completed concurrently or if there are primary segments you would like to put into phases of installation. At this point a deposit is payable and we will arrange for further meetings to finalize material selections and project dates.
