Process

Initial Contact 

Reach out to us via phone, email, or the simple form on the Contact Us page. We’ll call you so we can talk about your project, then schedule a complimentary site visit.

Complimentary Site Visit 

We walk your landscape and talk about your ideas, goals, tastes, and the functions the space should serve. If you decide to request a quote, we’ll take site measurements, photos, and if needed, collect a soil sample.

Quote and Budget 

After your site visit, we’ll prepare a proposal for design services quote. This is a bulleted list of deliverables and product options. You select the work element and we email you a contract so you know exactly what to expect, and what it will cost. To help with budget planning, consider that you may earn a $2-3/per square foot if you apply for the Waterwise rebate program for removing your lawn (up to $15,000). Replacing lawn with natives will reduce your water bill by 40-50%.

Material/Plant Choices 

Before we begin your design, we'll discuss colors, materials, and plant options. We offer plants at wholesale (no warranty) to all clients. Post design, we charge $125/hour for purchasing plants, materials and project administration.

Preliminary Design 

Time for the real fun! We design your dream yard while carefully matching plants to site conditions, thinking about how you want to use your space, and of course overall appeal.

Design Review 

We email you 2D and 3D versions of the draft design and schedule an in-person meeting to walk you through the design, take notes, and answer any questions.

Implement Design Changes

We incorporate any changes that you've requested from our review meeting.

Final Products and Construction

We provide PDF copies of all 2D and 3D renders and project information including parcel boundary, topography, and project materials list. If you need contractor we work with reliable local builders to create and maintain your dream design.
