From Start to Finish
LANDSCAPE DESIGN PROPOSAL
PHASE 1 SITE ANALYSIS: CONCEPTUAL PLAN
Site visits to document existing conditions/walk the site
Record property and building dimensions to construct base map
Inventory and evaluate existing elements:
Orientation, topography, climate, sun, wind, slope, soils, drainage, vegetation, views, buildings, cultural features
Identify use areas and social activity needs of the client
Address vehicle and foot traffic for comfortable access and egress through the land
Create base map, ‘Conceptual Design’ to explore opportunities and constraints
PHASE 2 DESIGN DEVELOPMENT: MASTER PLAN
Integrate built structure with visual and activity needs of the client
Define movement and use areas
Design hardscape, including material recommendations
Develop a Master Plan of the property with details illustrated where needed
Create planting plan and plant lists that integrates native species and client’s selections
Submit plans for construction cost: site work, hardscape, plant material and installation
PHASE 3 ON SITE & FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Oversee installation of hardscape, placement of beds and location of plant material
Create a maintenance plan that includes water, feeding and pruning recommendations
Optional periodic management program to monitor and make recommendations for:
