Frequently Asked Question
HOW DOES THE DESIGN PROCESS WORK?
While the process may vary depending on the designer, the client’s needs, and the complexity of the project, most residential design projects include the following:
Initial Consultation, This is a chance to meet the designer and review the requirements and objectives of the project. Many designers charge for this visit, so to get the most out of the experience, ask the designer the best way to prepare and be sure you understand exactly what will be covered at this meeting.
Concept Plan. After listening to your ideas and priorities, the designer analyzes the site’s character, strengths and problems, and then develops one or more alternative concept plans for review.
Master Plan. The final master plan represents the culmination of your choices with the designer, and typically includes a complete spatial layout for your outdoor living spaces and other hardscape or architectural concepts.
Planting Plan. This is a working drawing from which the garden will actually be planted, and includes botanical names, container sizes, specific plant locations, and planting instructions to the contractor.
Additional Plan Documents. Depending on the scoop of your project, your designer may also provide a lighting plan, specialized guidelines on planting or irrigation, or notes and sketches on design elements such as water features or furniture and accessories placement.
Installation Assistance Many landscape designers will assist you in soliciting and reviewing construction bids, including referring contractors appropriate for your project. Others may choose to provide drawings only. Designers often stay involved throughout the installation phase to advise on design modifications, material selections and purchase and placement of garden art and accessories.
