Landscape Design
The Landscape and Hardscape Design process starts with an initial meeting with the client to learn what their wants and desires are. We will come out to your house for this meeting and walk through all aspects of the project.
For hardscaping the big things to think about design wise are the size of the patio or walkway, what do the clients want to do in this space. Do they like a more formal look with straight lines or more free flowing curves? Do we want to add in any seat walls or a firepit? If the site is sloped how much of a retaining wall is needed?
For Landscaping and plant design, the homeowners having an idea of what type of plants they like is very helpful but not necessary. What colors do they like and what colors do they not like? Is this an area that is going to be used all year round or something seasonal?
After the initial meeting, we start working on the first designs. Once we complete the initial design, we send that over to the client with some preliminary pricing. This is where we can go back and forth with the client to make any changes to the plans and talk about what materials we are going to use. For Hardscaping this is where we decide what type and color of pavers we are going to use.
Once we get the final design together including all plants and materials, we can send a final estimate, which barring any change orders should not change throughout the project.
