| Landscaping Design and Garden Design Frequently Asked Questions How does your computer imaging work?  You will take digital pictures of the area you would like to have designed and copy the images to a CD in jpg format. You’ll bring the CD with you to your first appointment with our landscape design team.
During the meeting you will clarify all the details of your landscape design visions. The landscape designer will then take your digital images and tranform one of the images into a final landscape plan image. It will show you what the area will look like after it has been completed and matured. It will also include a list of materials, quantity, and pricing information.
Is my small yard worth designing? Yes, having a small yard means it is all the more important to make the most of the space you have.
Do I need a landscape designer? Our landscape designers are horticultural and landscape materials experts. They can help you to create the look you want with plants that will reflect your taste. In addition, our knowledge of horticulture uses makes our experience invaluable.
How much will it cost for a design?  Design pricing is based on size and complexity of the project. When you meet with one of our landscape design team you will discuss your ideas and vision of your yard, we will make recommendations and answer your questions. Based on that information, the designer will give you quote for what your landscape design will cost.
Can you design within our budget? Absolutely. Our Landscape Design Team can help you work with a budget to create the landscape that you envision. No project is too big or small. The landscape design team is very familiar with all the pricing involved and that is exceedingly helpful with keeping any size project under budget.
How long does the Landscape Design process take? That varies depending on seasonal demand, the amount of workload booked ahead of you and the complexity of the designs the team is working on. The average is approximately two or three weeks, a more accurate estimate can be given to you during your initial appointment. Spring is our busiest season and the wait is the longest during this time.
Can we phase in our project? Yes, of course. Whether the reason is time constraints or financial the design team can help you with arrangements to do the project in phases.
Can you work with my existing landscape? Definitely, we do that on a regular basis. The landscape design team can help you identify which elements are functional assets and incorporate solutions where needed.
Can we choose our plants and have them delivered when we are ready to install them? Yes, when you’re ready to choose and pay for them, we’ll walk with you and help you as you make your choices. We’ll put your name on them and deliver them at your convenience.
Do we have to choose a landscaping contractor  that you recommend? No, definitely not. You will own your Landscape Design and are free to make all the choices. Some clients want to do some of the planting or landscape construction themselves. We certainly hope you will choose to buy your plant material from us, but that choice is up to you as well.
The landscaping contractor I hired can’t install the project until fall. Can you put a hold on all the plants until then? Yes, if you come in and pay for them we’ll be happy to put sold tags with your name on them and hold them for your project. Landscaping Contractors cancel jobs frequently and we cannot hold plant material that is not paid for.
If the landscaping contractor I hire has questions can he speak to the Designer? Yes, depending on the landscaping contractor’s specific skills he may have questions or even need to have the Landscape Designer on the job location as a consultant during the landscape installation. | |
| If you are seriously considering a professional landscape design for your property, there are several questions you should ask yourself as your very first step. This will save you time, money and remove the expense of having to possibly re-do this a few years later. In the 7 steps below – It is important to list all that is important to you. Draw a rough sketch of the area you want to have your landscape design.  Note any specific plants, and fixed structures that will remain. Note locations of any overhead wires, utility boxes, septic system, water lines, or gas lines. Note locations of large trees, and shaded areas or other obstacles that affect the design. Consult with the entire family if possible.
Make a list of specific uses of the area, barbecue, playing ball, growing vegetables, lawn chairs, pet area, or bird watching etc... Are there any areas that need screening from noisy traffic, block a poor view, hide a woodpile, create a windbreak or define your property line boundary?
Are there other special needs or goals to be considered? Reduce watering or mowing, create shade, attract wildlife or provide entertainment area, patio or walkway, arbors, fence, gazebo, retaining walls, water feature? Is there a specific problem area or a deer problem? Are there any allergies that have to be considered?
What is your personal taste like? Do you prefer Formal design, Oriental, Classical English, Colorful Cottage Style, Whimsical, Elegant, Edible or Native? it can be extremely helpful to pick up some gardening magazines and mark what appeals to you the most. Do you have any specific color preferences, size or seasonal limitations?
Visit our Garden Center and list any plants that you especially like as well as any that you dislike and don't want to be included in your design. Do you need shade trees, fruit trees, flowering trees and shrubs or do you prefer evergreens? Do you want to incorperate roses, perennials or annuals in the design?
Work out a budget and determine if you will do part of or install the entire project yourself, do project in phases - or hire a local landscaping contractor.
The answers to all the above questions as well as your sketch, notes, lists and digital images are very important to have with you during the initial appointment with our creative landscape designers. They will listen to your concerns and offer cretive solutions to meet your needs. They will look over the planned project with you in detail, clarify particulars, make suggestions and create a folder of your lists and notes. This preperation will speed up the process and help avoid costly revisions to your design due to misunderstandings or information you may forget to mention during the appointment.
