Small and basic
landscape projects–such as a replacement sidewalk, driveway
or retaining wall, not involving any redesign–can be achieved
without affecting the surrounding landscape. There is an estimate
fee for "install-only" projects such as these.
More comprehensive projects involve a master planning process. A master plan resolves existing site problems, functional requirements and ties everything into a visually unified whole.
By looking at the big picture, we can save time and money over the long run by:
| • |
prioritizing your current/future wants and needs |
| • |
assessing the functional requirements of your space |
| • |
addressing such factors as zoning, steep slopes, flood plains, wet soils, easements, building set-back requirements, utility locations, etc. |
| • |
integrating the design and function of your outdoor
space with the existing and proposed house/building architecture |
| • |
creating curb appeal, enhancing views, creating privacy/enclosure, defining spaces and improving circulation |
| • |
providing solutions to difficult site problems, planning and design of house location/integration with site and grading design/tree protection and removal |
