Initial Consultation

We'll walk your yard, discuss your vision and answer a questionnaire. After our initial meeting, I'll send a customized garden summary of the unique features of your space, your vision, some initial ideas, and an estimate for design fees.

Site Measurements

Upon my second visit to your site, I will take accurate measurements and combine them with aerial drone photos and  gis maps to create a to-scale base map of your garden. 
 

Pre Design

I will share personalized mood boards that highlight different plant combinations, hardscaping ideas and garden features to help narrow down an aesthetic for the design.

​

Concept Design

I will create at least two rough digital concept designs, that will include bed shapes, potential hardscape and other garden features. We will move forward with the concept you prefer.

​

Preliminary Design

Once a concept is chosen, this design displays a more detailed rough draft of the final plan. It includes one revision and once this plan has been approved, the final version will be made.

​

Final Detailed Design

Includes a handout with enhanced details of plants, hardscape, and key design features. Also includes a detailed planting plan to be used for the procurement of materials for installation purposes.

Maintenance Plan

A maintenance plan is highly encouraged for new garden installations. It is the best way to ensure that your new plants will flourish throughout every season.
