The First Step

The first step to a new landscape design is an initial meeting at your home. We walk through your property discussing area of scope, what you like and don’t like about your garden, etc. We’ll go over a few prior designs so that you will know what to expect as a final product. You’ll answer a short questionnaire to get us talking and thinking about what you want in a garden. Afterwards, I’ll mail you a contract with total cost for your design detailed out as well as a list of goals for me to achieve in your design.

Now we really get started! After receiving a retainer payment (usually 1/3 of the total cost), I return to your property to take measurements and before photos. I take this information and create a base map, an “as is” drawing of your garden. Using this base map, I create “tissue drawings” (pencil sketches on translucent paper) of 3 major concepts for your new space.
