Design to Completion
Initial Meeting
The process begins with a meeting to discuss your needs. We also evaluate the site and the space. Together we will determine what type of a design process you will require, and a design agreement can then be established.
Site Inventory & Measurements
Before a design can begin, a base plan must be drawn. We locate the home and its dimensions within the property boundaries. We take into account established trees, plants, and existing hardscape such as driveways and walks. We conduct a grading study of the land if needed for the project.
Conceptual Plan
A variety of sketches are made in the preliminary stages of design. Each one will give a different concept. We review them together to determine which one best matches your needs, taking into account any site constraints. At this point we can establish rough cost projections.
Final Design & Specifications
On approval of the conceptual design and the proposed budget, the final design is done. This includes a master plan to scale, with the necessary specifications and details for your project. These might include cross sections, construction details, grading, planting plan, planting details, lighting, and irrigation specifications.
How it works
Landscapes by Steve offers a complete design-build package. Upon completion and acceptance of the final design, we will provide you with a project cost estimate.
Our team of landscape artisans, craftsmen and designers work closely together to make sure the original concept is reflected in the completed project. We are confident in our ability to construct quality projects. The techniques we use, though mostly hidden under the finished product, are critically important to the integrity and durability of the finished product. In selecting the finest construction and plant materials available, we are able to seamlessly blend the new project with the existing landscape.
Our landscapers have an understanding of design concepts. This permits us to execute the original concept without compromise during the construction and planting phases.
