How we operate

Our process

1. Initial consultation

A free one-hour visit to hear about your project, walk through the site, discuss your goals, and figure out the best approach for your project.

2. Pre-design

Here we gather site information, get a sense of your aesthetic preferences, and discuss how the landscape should look, feel, and function.

3. Schematic design

In schematic design, we create a series of conceptual design sketches and images including material and planting palettes.

4. Design development

In the design development phase we fine-tune the layout, dimensions, materials, and plant selections of the preferred design solution.

5. Final design

The final design drawings can include final layout and materials plans, planting plan, irrigation and lighting plans, and associated plant and materials images. This phase may also include site furnishing and landscape structure design ranging from conceptual ideas to scaled drawings.

6. Construction coordination

Once construction begins, we are available to answer contractor questions, attend construction meetings, procure plants, source products, approve plant delivery and coordinate plant placement, and perform QAQC and on-site troubleshooting.

If you are a developer or a commercial client, feel free to drop us a line to discuss additional needs, such as pre-development plans, design review submittals, mitigation planting plans, or permitting sets.
