Our design process begins with an on-site consultation, where we will share ideas to find out what would make your landscape perfect for you.  We will ask questions about your personal tastes: likes, dislikes, and intentions for the space.  Our goal is to create designs with not only beauty, but PURPOSE.  Some of the questions to think about before the initial meeting are:

• Do you have any existing drainage or erosion issues or concerns?
• Do you have any functional needs or concerns such as the need to increase flat, more usable areas?
• Do you have children that will be using the yard?
• Do you have any pet considerations?
• What type of recreation do love? A large turf area for sports? An area for climbing and playing?
• Do you enjoy entertaining?  Do we need to consider adding or increasing the size of a patio or food prep area?
• Will you be using your landscape at night?  If so would you like to consider outdoor lighting?
• Would you like an outdoor area to escape to rain or shine?  Have you considered a patio cover or pergola?
• Do you need to maintain or add access for vehicle or machines?
• Do you have any allergies to insects, flowers, trees, or any other concerns?
• What are your favorite colors?
• Do you have any specific ideas for the space?  Pinterest, Houzz, etc.?
• What is your budget for the project?

Once we have answered some of these preliminary questions, we can focus on your design.  We will work together to come up with a plan that is perfect for you and within your budget.  You will then receive a detailed proposal of approximately what it will cost to implement your design.  Many times, we can separate your project into manageable phases that fit comfortably within your budget.
