Sacramento Landscape Design Process

Landscape Design Process

roses

Step 1

Initial contact by phone or email

Container plants and cypress trees

Step 2

Consultation only

OR

Initial consultation on-site or by Zoom for plans.
You tell us what you’re looking for.
Give us a plot plan if you have one.

Step 3

We email you a Design Proposal / Contract.

Step 4

We come out and take measurements and photographs.

Step 5

Designer draws a scaled Landscape Layout Plan showing hardscape elements. (Please see our Services page for what hardscape is.) You start thinking about plants (we give you a Plant Questionnaire).

Step 6

We meet with you (usually by Zoom) to present the Layout Plan, discuss materials, and review the plant questionnaire. You tell us if you’d like any layout revisions (one revision is included for free).

Step 7

Designer makes revisions, if any, to Layout Plan, then draws Planting Plan, which shows lighting locations. The Layout Plan is labeled with elements, materials, and General Installation Notes (used by the Contractor).

Step 8

We have a final meeting (usually by Zoom) during which time the final Layout Plan and Planting Plan are presented. We discuss any post-design services you’d like, such as finding an installer. (Please see our services page for how we can continue to help you with your landscape project after the design is done.)

Step 9

Construction.

Step 10

Relax and enjoy your new landscape.
