We typically meet with our clients 3 times. The first time we meet, we discuss your goals for your outdoor space, this includes how you wish to use your space, what kind of features you want to incorporate into the space, what kinds of plants you like, and how the space should look. This is no different than planning the inside of your house.
The second time we meet, we present you with conceptual ideas integrating both the needs of the space (prevailing wind direction, sun exposure, drainage requirements, subdivision design guidelines), and your goals. After your input and approval, we put our final custom professional design on paper.
We find our clients prefer a custom professional design first. Then we schedule the installation.
