Do you actually need a Design?

Yes, for Planning

When you build a house, you need blueprints. A landscape is exactly the same, with a myriad of questions to be considered and answered. Whether constructing a patio or weaving a matrix of perennials, it takes thought and expertise.

A CLEAR VISION FOR YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE

Please be advised that landscaping is expensive. Every square foot or feature that is added increases material and labour costs. Managing expectations is one of my key goals during the design process.

Once your design is finalized, you and your landscape contractor will have a complete understanding as to how all the elements interact with each other over a wide space within the overall style and theme.

Yes, for Timelines

A complex landscape design can take months to finalize, sometimes years for multi-phase projects. Reputable landscape contractors are in high demand, so plan ahead to avoid disappointment.

SOURCE COMPETETIVE ESTIMATES

A design will allow you to choose the best installation estimate from our local landscape contractors. You can compare apples to apples as each contractor can provide a detailed estimate based on your thorough design.

Landscape installation permitting from your regional municipality or district may be required depending on the desired elements within your design.

Roofed structures, decks, pools, large retaining walls, and other features likely require building permits.

Yes, for Execution

The company that installs your landscape needs to know exactly what you want to create so they can provide you with an accurate estimate for their installation. It saves you time, money, and a lot of headaches to determine exactly what you want for your space, and if you can fit it within your budget.

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

The major elements of the design are defined and detailed: hardscape layout such as decks, patios, pergolas, materials, specimen plants and under-plantings, soil and mulch areas, irrigation and lighting recommendations, utility lines, storage solutions, parking arrangements, etc.

I am not qualified to provide the services of a Landscape Architect or Engineer. As such some construction details may require additional discussion with your contractor or engineer.
