Starting the Conversation

We stay flexible in the early design and remain open to many options. Feel free to reach out even if you don’t have a firm idea, we can ideate together.

Our Process

Your vision is captured through our conversation by email or phone to make sure we understand the key elements. After our digital review of the property, using GIS and county utility records, we’ll schedule a Walkthrough. Our Walkthrough will survey existing conditions, while ideating solutions to fit your needs. We stay flexible in the early design and remain open to many options. Once we create a CAD and 3D concept plan, we meet digitally to discuss in detail. This is typically about an hour. We discuss your timing, phasing, plant and material preferences, then return to our drafting tables to create the master plan. This includes a planting plan, phasing plan, and material details. We’ll meet one more time to discuss the Master Plan in detail, including 1hr of revisions afterward if needed. At project end we summarize and provide either ROMs, project estimates, and scheduling as desired.
