Getting Started - Residential Services
Call us for pricing and to discuss next steps.
One Hour Site Consultation:
Clients use the One Hour Site Consultation to begin the design process. By walking their site with us, they begin to clarify their priorities and see their landscape as a resource for achieving their goals.
Water Audit:
Clients use the Water Audit when they have already identified specific stormwater concerns or when they want to include a rain garden or manage their stormwater on site. The Water Audit provides technical information necessary to appropriately protect homes and other site amenities, as well as design rain gardens and landscape conservation landscapes. In some cases, the water audit can help clients identify a series of steps to take to correct water in basements or window wells rather than doing expensive basement waterproofing.
Initial Design Consultation:
Clients who are big on DIY and those who are brainstorming use this to get two big ideas about their landscape. Most clients then choose to have us draw up a master plan and a planting plan.
Full Design Package (or any of the following as needed):
Clients who have a strong sense of what they would like choose this option. They work with us and we create the drawings necessary to bring their vision to life. Those clients who choose this option can take our drawings to contractors of their choice to get bids on installation or we can help with that as well.
