Consultation
Takes place on the job site and is the meeting where we will
discuss your needs, preferences, and ideas for your landscaping. We appreciate you having any measurements,
house plans, lot survey, pictures, or any other helpful materials copied and
available for the designer to take. It
is a good idea if you go through our design questionnaire before this
meeting. At this meeting we will also
provide you with a design contract and upon receiving payment we will add you
to the design schedule.
Site Analysis
This is the phase where we study and visit the site to gain
a full understanding of the existing conditions. We make one more site visit to take
measurements, elevations, make note of the sunny and shady spots, elevations,
and any other pertinent information required to create a landscape design.
Schematic Design
In this phase we reconcile the client’s needs and desires
with the functional aspects of the site.
During this phase the designer uses a technique call ‘Bubble Diagramming’
to layout the spaces, the pathways between them, and their uses. Sometimes another meeting is required to
discuss these ideas with the client.

Final Plans
This is where the design will be drafted using CAD
software. All elements of the design will
be included, and details will be drawn to locate all elements, and to show
paving patterns, etc. When this work is
completed a meeting will be scheduled to present the plan, selection of
materials, and information on the installation.
