Design & Build

1. Set up a consultation with one of our landscape designers: There is a $45 consultation fee due at the time of your appointment that can be credited to your design fee if you should decide to proceed with your project. This consultation fee is for time with one of our landscape specialists to discuss your project and get their ideas and thoughts of what you can accomplish based on your budget. From there they can discuss if a rough landscape sketch or a full color design would be required for your project. Costs of designs are to be determined at the time of your initial appointment.

    

2. Be ready to discuss your landscape needs with your designer: They will ask you about things such as:

   • Are there views you want to screen or preserve?
   • Do you have any drainage concerns?
   • How do you normally use the space?
   • Do you like to work outside in the yard?
   • Do you like formal or informal landscapes?
   • What are your color preferences?
   • Are there plants that you particularly like or dislike?
   • What are your priorities and what does your budget look like?

    

3. Approve design fees and questionnaire: After your consultation your designer will get to work on your landscape design. Designs are generally prepared within 1-2 weeks depending on size, demand, and time of the year. Our standard design package comes with a color design that is to scale with labeled pictures of all plants and hardscape elements along with a detailed estimate that can be phased out to meet your budget or priorities. Designs help us be accurate in our planning, estimating and building of your project and also help you have an accurate understanding of the work to be completed. Designs range from $800 for a small landscape design to $4500 and up for a larger landscape design, such as a full property design or an estate plan.

   If any revisions are needed to your plans, please contact your landscape designer. We offer one free revision that is valid for 30 days upon receipt of your first design. Any revisions requested after this 30 day period are subject to another design fee.

    

4. Approve designs and get on production schedule: Upon your final approval, you will be sent the bid for your design’s install.  If you wish to proceed, a deposit is collected and you are placed on our install schedule.

Disclaimer:  All designs are conceptual and subject to change during installation due to unforeseen site conditions, i.e., tree roots, rock shelves, buried cables, soil conditions, plant size and variety availability, etc.
