Design Process
Initial consultations and sketch begin the process and are available by appointment.
Consultations typically take 2 hours and are available to meet your schedule - weeknight late afternoon/ evenings and weekends are perfect.
Consultation fees vary based on your needs.
Based on initial consultation,additional services are available from:
- plant selection and purchase (from the growers themselves - this saves you money and gives you healthier plants!)
- to giving you a DIY plan with personal oversight
- to creating the perfect containers (that means pots) and focal points (that means art - with stone, found objects, water features, fire accents, or whatever has meaning for you)
- to simply accompanying you to the nursery for assistance
- to oversight and supervision of the garden installation process with a licensed landscape contractor
- to creating a formal landscaping plan and architectural drawing
It all depends on what your needs (and budget) are!!!!
