Let’s begin..
A new landscape installation is a creative process and sometimes a large investment into your home or property. There are many steps to the process but we like to try and keep everything SIMPLE.. When looking to add a new landscape or outdoor living space we always encourage you to do your research. Visit sites likes Pinterest, and Google for creative projects that might spark and idea to add your upcoming project. In addition we also encourage you to research your local landscape contractors. Take a look at their website, read the online reviews, and maybe even ask for a portfolio of their recent work.
Depending on the size of your property and your budget, landscape installation projects can be tailored to fit your needs. With larger scale projects, often times there are proper permits needed and it is easier to bring in a professional to help assist in the process. For simpler, potted planters and garden fixtures there are many YouTube videos and resources available online for DIY beginner projects. Planting beds in the front of the home, intimate garden spaces hidden on the property, seasonal annual planters in pots throughout the yard are all way to improve curb appeal and enhance your home. Working with designers helps in choosing colors to best complement your home as well as specimens that will thrive best on your property.
Landscape installation starts with design, is completed with installing and is often followed up with a maintenance program to ensure the investment year round. The money, time and creativity that is put into any project should be cared for longevity. Proper pest control, proper irrigation, proper plant rotation and pruning all help to ensure that your landscape installation with thrive in all the years to come to learn more about the design, installation and maintenance phases for your next project. We will be happy to set up a consultation with one of our experienced designers or architects.

We have team of experienced landscape designers that can mock-up a design for you, or simply just give suggestions. Once we have a firm idea on what you’re looking for, we go back to the drawing board to get started on design your landscape project.
STEP #2 - SITE ANALYSIS
Site analysis may be the most important step in the process. Why? It simple… we need to carefully review your property and all it’s surrounds when considering a new landscape. Many variables need to be considered in the process such as..
Location
Soil Condition
Animals (Wild & Domestic)
Accessibility
Sun Light & Shade
Future Development
Short Term & Long Term Expectancy
Neighbors
These are just a few of the variables our team is trained to look for when reviewing and designing your next project. Many people fall victim to the design failures because of improper education. Planting a tree today that is 2ft tall may be 60ft tall in 20 years. If you don’t consider this when planting your tree you may have just created yourself a very large headache in the future. Site Analysis, Strategy, and Common Sense are all MAJOR ROLES in this step of the process.
STEP #3 - CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
At this point, our team has gathered all the necessary information we need to begin the physical design process. Depending on the size and scale of your project our designers will mockup a paperback or 3D presentation of your project. This allows us to help create a visual presentation to share with our customers. Creating a visual plan can sometimes be the difference maker in your project. This is commonly the most exciting part for customer. When they can begin to see and visualize the blueprint of the vision.
STEP #4 - FINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN
Rounding the final corner, there are final modifications and adjustments that are made to the landscape design. Once the design is complete, we request a final signature of authorization of the plan and we begin roll into the last step which is commonly the most fun.. The Construction and Installation of your project!
STEP #5 - INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
Once the final landscape plans are approved, its time to get to work! We secure a material deposit for the project, order the materials, and schedule an install date. From this point a member from our team will call or meet with you to once again go over the plans and help coordinate the final step of the project. The landscape install team will arrive onsite and begin the project. Should any changes or modifications need to be made after the installation has begun, thats NO PROBLEM! We can quickly adjust with a change order, and continue on. Once the project has been completed, a member from our team will follow up with a final walk through, or phone call to review any questions or concerns.
Once installed, we HIGHLY suggest that you consider a maintenance plan for your new landscape. Let our experienced landscape team look after and care for your investment. Don’t loose your investment because of improper care or lack of knowledge.
