SERVICES

Client Consultation:

Because each project is unique, an initial complimentary consultation is arranged to learn the specific needs of the client and the advantages and challenges of the site.

Conceptual Landscape Design:

After all the important site information is gathered, (ie. site measurements, existing plants and built structures to remain and the state of the surrounding properties) a colored conceptual design plan is prepared that will locate all the features the client requests. This is often accompanied by colored elevational sketches of landscape elements such as fountains, gates, fireplaces, etc. to help the client understand the intended design.

Construction Documents:

Once the Conceptual Landscape Design is approved by the client the next phase of our work begins. Construction Documents or blueprints include all the vital information needed by the Landscape Contractor to install the landscape design. These documents are also often required by city building officials or Home Owner's Associations before building permits will be issued.

Construction Observation:

Because questions often arise in the field during construction we act as your liaison to the Landscape Contractor from beginning to the end to insure that the finished product is true to the original concept. Among our other services we are also available to visit nurseries with the client to select and tag specimen plant material as required.
