Our Process
-
An initial site visit for landscape ideas involves meeting the client at their property to discuss their vision and preferences. Our team listens to the client’s goals, assesses the space, and offers general suggestions. The focus is on understanding the client’s needs to begin developing a relationship between us and our client.
-
A consultation focuses on refining the landscape design by discussing specific site parameters. During this meeting, our team takes detailed measurements and conducts a site analysis, evaluating factors like sunlight, soil conditions, drainage, and existing features. This information is essential for developing schematic designs that align with the client’s goals to ensure the design meets both aesthetic and practical needs before moving forward with more detailed planning.
-
The creation of schematic design drawings involves outlining the proposed layout, plant selection, and key features of the landscape design. These initial designs serve as a visual representation of how the space will be transformed, showcasing elements such as hardscaping, planting beds, pathways, and focal points. The drawings are carefully crafted to reflect the client’s preferences and the site’s unique characteristics. Once completed, these schematic designs will be presented to the client for feedback, allowing them to review the proposed concepts, suggest adjustments, and ensure the design aligns with their vision before moving forward with the final phase.
-
The final landscape design is a detailed and refined plan that incorporates all client feedback and site analysis from previous consultations. It includes precise layouts, material specifications, plant selection, and a clear representation of all features such as hardscaping, lighting, irrigation, and planting schemes. This comprehensive design is carefully tailored to meet both aesthetic goals and functional needs. The final design serves as a blueprint for construction, providing clear guidelines for contractors to follow.
-
Our team acting as the Owner Representative during construction administration ensures that the landscape design is executed according to the approved plan. We oversee the contractor’s work, ensuring adherence to the design, timeline, and budget. As the main point of contact between the client and construction team, we address any issues that arise, monitor the quality of work, and ensure the project stays on track. Our team conducts site visits, approves change orders, and resolves any discrepancies, providing continuous support to ensure the final outcome meets the client’s expectations and project goals.
