Landscapes are born out of a desire to change, a need of functionality, or the want to compliment a new home/business. Whatever the origin, the outcome will be bettered by a professional design. Landscaping without a plan can easily result in unnecessary labor, extra materials, excessive water usage, dead plants, and drainage issues. Besides ensuring maximum cost savings in the ultimate product, a landscape plan can also be a motivational tool for those who want to improve their outdoor space, but are not sure how or where to start. Let Gardenwerks give your creativity direction with a professionally designed landscape plan.

Understanding the Design Process

The first step is a site visit and general consultation regarding needs, issues, ideas, options and approximate costs for what the client wants. These visits are offered as a stand alone consultation service, or as part of our design packages. Depending on the time of year, consultations will be scheduled anywhere between 1-6 weeks from the time of inquiry.

From there, the client has the option to decide whether to do a full design process. Delivery time frames for design projects can vary widely, depending on workload and time of year. (Example: mid-season inquiries could expect to wait 6 months for design delivery.)

If needed, a second site visit will be scheduled to take measurements and gather any additional information needed. 

To maximize our landscape design services, we encourage you to contact us early in the planning stages of a newly constructed home. The landscape plan is best developed simultaneously with the building plans and allows for a seamless transition from the house construction to the installation of the landscape.
