Our Design Process

Structured approach to creating landscapes that reflect your vision

How We Work

Initial Consultation

We begin by visiting your site to understand existing conditions, discuss your goals, and explore design possibilities. This meeting helps establish project scope and budget parameters.

Site Analysis

Detailed documentation of site conditions including soil testing, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and existing vegetation. This analysis informs all design decisions.

Concept Development

Initial design concepts are developed and presented through sketches, material samples, and preliminary plans. We refine concepts based on your feedback.

Design Refinement

Selected concepts are developed into detailed plans with precise specifications for plants, materials, and construction details.

Final Documentation

Complete construction documents are prepared including planting plans, hardscape details, and material specifications ready for contractor bidding and installation.

Collaboration & Communication

Successful landscape design requires clear communication and collaboration. We maintain regular contact throughout the design process, ensuring you're informed and involved at every stage.

Regular Updates

Timely progress updates and milestone reviews keep you informed as designs develop and evolve.

Flexible Approach

We adapt our process to fit your timeline and preferences, whether you need quick concepts or detailed documentation.

Expert Guidance

Our experience helps navigate decisions about materials, plants, and design elements to achieve your goals within budget.

Timeline Expectations

Small Projects

Garden designs and focused areas typically complete in 3-4 weeks from initial consultation to final plans.

Medium Projects

Complete landscape designs for average residential properties generally take 6-8 weeks for full documentation.

Large Projects

Complex designs with multiple phases may require 10-12 weeks to ensure thorough planning and coordination.
