Landscape Design
Hiring a professional landscape designer is a smart investment which can help create your outdoor haven, and make sure you avoid costly mistakes.
We are skilled in the implementation of fundamental design concepts - proportion, unity, balance, perspective, color, texture - allowing us to bring about a fully integrated design.
We have comprehensive horticultural knowledge, so that you get the right plant in the right place in your garden.
And we are inspired by the natural world to create sustainable designs, driven by our clients' needs, wants and dreams.
All designs start with an underlying concept. The concept may be as simple as a color scheme for a border, or to match existing architecture. Or it may
be to bring in themes of a favorite artwork, or to echo characteristics of a particular place. This concept then directs the style and shape of the landscape components, and the colors and textures for materials and plants.
Master Plans
Master plans address the entire property, and ensure that all elements work together as a cohesive whole. They include driveways, paths, decks & patios, pools & water features, screening,
and slope and water management. Whether for a new-build or an established home, commissioning a master plan will enable you to realize the full potential of your property.
Illustrative Plans
Similar to a master plan, an illustrative plan pulls together conceptual components to define a landscape. It may show the layout for a new patio or planting bed, the materials to use,
the color scheme, and the style of planting.
Planting Plans
Planting plans are detailed drawings which define the locations, quantities, and varieties for all the plant material. Plants are carefully chosen to align with the design concept, match the site conditions,
and create a sustainable environment.
These plans can be used by homeowners and contractors alike to source
and install the plants. We also include detailed information about each plant, such as mature size, characteristics, and care information.
Dimensioned Layout Plans
If your design includes hardscape components, you may need a layout plan. This defines the dimensions and locations of hardscape elements, and its goal is to ensure that what you want is what gets built.
It's particularly helpful if you have multiple contractors bid the work, allowing you to compare multiple quotes for similar work.
3-D Visualizations
3D visualizations can be a vital tool in the design process for decks, pools, steps, and retaining walls. For most people, they are much easier to understand
than plan drawings, particularly when the design includes multiple level changes. Visualizations can include views of the design from multiple angles, or walk-through and flyover animations.
