DESIGN PROCESS
in a nut shell...
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
-
I begin every project with an initial phone call and consultation either in person or virtually
-
We can walk around your property together to discuss your challenges and goals forming ideas along the way
-
I will provide you with a summary of our initial meeting including next steps to move forward with your project
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PATCH OF EARTH
-
If you choose to move forward with my design service, I will analyze the area you would like to address
-
This includes existing conditions of the soil, light, water, wind, existing plants, built elements, local flora and fauna, etc.
INITIAL IDEAS
-
Your goals and the site analysis guide me in drafting an initial concept
-
Your feedback helps me to refine the initial concept into the final plan
FINAL LANDSCAPE DESIGN
-
The initial concept is refined into a partial, whole or phased property plan which can be used by you for DIY installation or your contractor for professional installation
-
Details include 2D, scaled, color rendered drawings including all built elements such as patios, pergolas, paths and plants by botanical and common names including quantities, etc.
-
Additional documentation may include plant and general care information, etc.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
-
If you would like more assistance throughout the making of the garden or outdoor living space, I would be happy to:
-
Manage the bidding process if you choose to hire a licensed landscape contractor
-
Source plants and materials
-
Provide oversight during installation
-
Review the final product with you
-
CARING FOR YOUR INVESTMENT
-
Once your garden and/or outdoor living space is installed, the journey is just beginning
-
Gardens evolve and change through time
-
To preserve your initial investment in your landscape, I can assist you with in-depth maintenance instructions and coaching for you DIY'ers as well as coaching for your favorite landscape companies who may already maintain your residence or place of business
