Design & Details

---

Outdoor design is a big investment.  Having vision and direction is important to create a beautiful outdoor space.  Yet, not every client wants or needs a formal CAD or 3D design.  We’ve found that most of our clients love the time we spend onsite and our collaborative “design in the space” approach.  Our hand-drawn sketches, vision boards and planting plans enable the design to come to life for less money.

REFINE THE VISION.

We cover a lot in an outdoor design consultation, but time always goes by so quickly.  This phase is where we move from how you want your outdoor space to feel to how we create that feeling.  Using your survey, taking measurements, photos and video, we inventory your existing plants for an overview of  and to serve as the background for design.  We finalize what to keep and what to remove.  We work with you online, onsite or at local garden centers to refine your style, getting more specific with plant choices and level of maintenance.  We hone in on the budget and the priorities.  

CREATE THE DESIGN.

This is where our creative minds play.  Blending the information we have gathered, along with our intuition and vision, we begin our design and vision board to create a concept to share with you.  Depending on the scope of the project and the season, most drafts can be completed in two - four weeks.  We meet again onsite or online to review the plan and make any adjustments until we’ve settled on a final design.  We collaborate with landscape professionals if a detailed CAD rendering is needed by your neighborhood HOA or city for permitting.

DIG INTO DETAILS.

Once the design is finalized, we prepare a detailed planting plan, plant list and reference images.  We offer hourly consulting for plant estimates, purchase, delivery, layout, shopping, patio and porch designs, container designs, bidding and installation management.  Or, we can leave the coordination and digging to you.
