Introduction
Let’s Talk About Your Project!
Every project starts with a conversation. We begin with a phone call and then meet on-site to explore your property. During this visit, we will discuss your priorities and uncover your design vision. Together, we will consider the style, functionality, and the people who will use the space, laying the foundation for a landscape that is both beautiful and uniquely yours.
Site Work
Setting The Stage!
Created by the designer, the base plan maps out the essentials—lot lines, house walls, windows and doors, existing elevations, structures such as sheds or decks, major plantings, and the site’s light and soil conditions. Think of it as the blueprint that sets the stage for your landscape design.
The Concept
Shaping Your Outdoor Space!
Landscape design is the thoughtful integration of vision, experience, and attention to detail, resulting in spaces that feel intentional and well-crafted.
The concept plan helps to visualize the landscape design on paper. It outlines the client's preferences, shows how different spaces connect and flow, and may include sketches, photographs, or other visual elements to give a clear understanding of the proposed design.
The Detailed Drawings
The Roadmap To Installation!
I recognize how important detailed drawings are for the success of the build.
Landscape design packages are fully customized and may include the following detailed drawings:
Colour Presentation: Brings your plan to life, adding depth and texture to help you envision the finished project.
Hardscape Plan: Details construction and material selections. The foundation of your landscape—done right from the start.
