What We Do
Consultations:
Horticultural Advice, Plant Identification, Problem Solving, and New Ideas are given at your site. This is for the person who needs to know what they own, how to care for it and how to enhance an existing landscape. The consultation centers on your curiosities and desires. An initial consult is one hour and the content is mainly verbal. We can create sketches, plant lists or other documents requested although this generally requires added time. If your project involves more than enhancing existing spaces then a Landscape Design is needed.
Landscape Design:
Initial Meeting: We begin with a site visit to understand the space and its surroundings. We discuss yor desires in terms of function, look, style, color, problem solving, budget, maintenance, etc. and formulate a game plan to achieve your goals.
Site Analysis: This is looking at your site for it’s strengths and weaknesses. We note things such as grade, drainage, exposure and existing resources. The area to be addressed is measured and entered into our landscape design software.
Conceptual Plan: Concept plans show various ways to meet your goals of space use and other personal requirements. Some clients want elaborate outdoor cooking and dining areas, others prefer vegetable gardens and intricate plantings.
Site Development: This scaled plan shows the final layout of the garden and the hardscape, or non plant, elements. The material required are clearly labeled.
Planting Plan: Plants are selected based on site requirements such as sun, shade, moisture, topography, etc. to create an interesting palette. Our designs complement the space and seasons of use with vibrant colors, variegated textures and proper sizing. The planting plan shows the location and name of each plant as it should be installed for proper maturing.
Final package: A final package includes both the Site Development Plan and the Planting Plan. It can also contain lighting plans, irrigation design, furniture schedules and other individual requirements.
We design for either the Do-It-yourselfer or for professional installation.
Installation and Construction:
Our team will fully install any design and takes great pride in bringing to life the designs from our studio. We begin by coordinating any required permitting; obtaining the materials needed then creating the structure of the garden. Once the structure is complete we bring in plant material adding texture, color and personality.
Installation services range from simple stepping stones and a few plants to complex patios with hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, lighting, irrigation, arbors, and fencing. We happily phase projects to meet the owner’s needs.
