The foundation to any new landscape or garden renovation begins with a Professional Design Process. Laying the framework by providing Plan-View and Perspective Drawings are important for client awareness and sound mind. The advice and recommendations from experienced designers are then melded with the client’s ideas and expectations into a Master Plan, where all main design elements are revealed. By using Computer-Aided Designs the artwork grows in practicality and the Master Plan then provides all the information needed to move into the installation phase including pricing, proposals and plant lists.
