The process begins with an introductory meeting, where we listen to your preferences and what you want in your new landscape. During this initial meeting, we gain an understanding of your immediate and long-term goals. We use this information to prepare a custom designed landscape plan that meets your goals. We return to your home to present and explain this initial draft of the design and make modifications based on your feedback. Then we agree to a written contract and provide you an estimated start date.
During the installation phase, we begin by excavating all applicable areas and then construct the hardscape surfaces. After the hardscape surfaces are completed, we spread loam and plant your new trees, followed by shrubs, and finally perennials and annuals. We will install a drip irrigation system, if appropriate, and landscape lights before we apply a layer of mulch. Approximately two weeks after the installation is complete, we will return to inspect the plantings to ensure they are adapting to their new home.
