Step Three: Find a copy of your plat plan if possible. This is a scaled drawing of your house on your property with some dimensions. This really helps speed up the design process.
Step Four: Feel free to fill out the wish list form: Wish List ,then check the boxes that are of interest to you and your landscape needs. Also discuss with your family what your likes and dislikes are. This helps us focus our goals and points us in the right direction.
Step Five: I arrive at our scheduled time and the evaluation of your yard begins. After initial assessment, we come up with a schedule of how to implement your landscape. Every project is different, and that’s where I can assist you with the proper steps to take. Fees: There is a $50 charge for the initial visit which can be applied to more detailed work if needed. It depends on the size and complexity of the project. My design services are set as a flat fee. I will ask for 1/2 down and the balance due after we review the plan to your satisfaction. Average plans run about $100 to $500. Cash or Check only. Some clients just like to do a walkthrough and get ideas on the spot, that's ok too.
Step Six: Contact me anytime for any questions you may have.
Step Seven: Enjoy your new landscape!
