Good design and planning are the key ingredients to any landscape project. Whether it's for a particular structure and/or the surrounding space, a good design requires a complete understanding of the various elements that come together to create a harmonious, synergistic whole.

 

The task of achieving a good design is often an organic process that first and foremost begins with an understanding of the needs of the client. A good design then incorporates those needs  with the unique characteristics of the property to create the most ideal pairing of form and function.

 

Thoughtful planning is essential to insure that the design is executed in the most efficient and cost effective way possible. Good planning is literally a mapping of the sequential steps required to start and complete a project on time and within budget.

 

We’re happy to offer a comprehensive and efficient way to help guide clients through the maze of options and procedures an outdoor project often presents.

We begin by creating an overall design package that includes As-Builts, as well as 3-D and conceptual drawings that help to flesh-out the scope of a project, and then we can also either create shop drawings for fabrication and/or submit plan drawings and documents to various building departments to procure permits. We’ll also coordinate if necessary, any different trades to complete various elements of the project.
