THE
DESIGN/BUILD PROCESS Initial
Appointment
When you schedule the first appointment, a member of
our team will meet you at your property to discuss
your goals, material preferences, and color
choices. As we walk the property with you, we
will discuss your ideas and their feasibility and
determine the next course of action. Design
Agreement
Once the scope of work is determined, we will provide
you with a verbal preliminary budget. If
accepted, we will prepare a design agreement that
specifies what we will design and include on the plan
as well as what other documents will be provided. Site
Analysis & Design
Your property is evaluated during the site
analysis. Structures, plants, and grade changes
are all reviewed. Soil tests are also available
to determine nutrient and pH levels. We then
combine the site analysis with your unique vision to
create an aesthetic and functional outdoor living plan
for your review. Details are tweaked until
everyone is happy. Contract
& Scheduling
The contract spells out the scope of work to be
performed with a line item break-down of costs.
General terms of the contract and a payment schedule
are part of the contract. When we receive the
signed contract you are immediately added to our
schedule. Typically a down-payment is requested
with the signed contract, but this is not cashed until
the start date of the project. Construction
We begin securing both plants and hard goods needed
for your project in advance of your scheduled start
date. We also pre-plan the specific logistics of
moving equipment, materials, and implementing the
work. Our goal is to make your project as smooth
and stress-free as possible. Depending
on the complexity and duration of your project,
regular site visits are made during the construction
phase by your designer, production manager, or crew
leader. They are available to answer your
questions or concerns or bring to your attention any
unforeseen issues. Completion
of Project
At the completion of your project, your designer,
production manager, or crew leader will walk you
through the project to make sure you are happy with
the end product. They will also provide you with
watering and other general information for caring for
your new planting.
