How We Begin

We love to dream and we have a passion for nature! As landscape designers we have the privilege of working with people who desire beautiful, functional spaces to live, work, and play in. Our goal is to create landscapes that enhance people's lives: a garden to visit and collect some cut flowers, a water feature to observe light dancing on the surface, a play area for the kids to dig, jump, and play in. There are endless opportunities for our work to enhance lives and lift spirits. Our job is to work with you to create these special places in your corner of the world.

Design Process

The design process begins with a site visit and meeting with the client. We collect information to establish dreams and goals for the site. We determine problems and opportunities and study natural factors such as topography, hydrology, and vegetation; as well as cultural factors such as existing land use, culture of clients, and zoning regulations.

Next, we create the concept plan. We develop sketches, computer renderings, models, and any media to help us visualize a stimulating and functional site. We encourage input from our client.

When a final concept is agreed upon, we put the nuts and bolts of the design together. At this stage we develop any necessary plans to assist with the implementation of a project.

Design May Include:

• Site analysis

• Concept plans and sketches

• Site preparation plan

• Grading and drainage plan

• Layout plan

• Planting plan

• Lighting plan

• Irrigation plan

• Details/Specifications
