Landscape Design Process
Stage 1. Contact us to discuss your project
- Let's find out how we can best help you and if our landscape design process is a good fit!
Stage 2. Meet at your home, or complete a virtual walk through of your property
- Here we will get a better sense of the landscape we'll be designing, discuss your goals for it, and get to know you a bit better. We will talk about everything from your current lifestyle, to your backyards and front yards intended use, and the potential investment.
Stage 3. Create your initial 3D Landscape Concept
- Meet and present a video walk through of your new landscape design
- Discuss different aspects of your design: materials used, feature plantings, overall layout, etc.
- Listen to your feedback and discuss any changes to be made
- Fee for this stage varies due to project size and level of detail, and we will confirm these costs and present a formal quote before our landscape designers proceed with any work.
Stage 4. Revise your initial 3D Landscape Concept
- This is often a necessary step in our design process because it is much easier to discuss aspects of the design while reviewing it in Stage 3.
- We will incorporate your valued feedback from the previous meeting and revise the landscape drawing as needed.
- You will receive all renderings of your proposed landscape, including night shots to show the lighting design.
Stage 5. Create Scaled 2D Pricing Plan
- Create 2D Drawing for yourself, your home builder, or the landscape construction company you'll be using.
- This scaled design will have detailed notes and pictures of the design ideas, materials, and feature plantings associated with your 3D Design created in Stages 1 through 4, so you can receive accurate quotes for your landscape project.
- Permit Drawings and Planting Plans and other landscape design services are also offered in addition to our standard landscape drawing packages, depending on what level of detail you require for your project.
Project management
Your design is complete and you imagine yourself in your new back yard... Now what?!
We understand that finding the right landscape company or managing different trades for the installation of your project can be a stressful experience. Ground Break Design can help manage that entire process from start to finish and offer a variety of services in the management of the project. These services include, but are not limited to:
- Working directly with your home builder/renovator during the construction of your home, so the landscape blends seamlessly with your home design.
- Obtain quotes from landscape contractors in your specific area, and provide our professional opinion on things to consider when choosing who to go with. In some instances, we may already have recommendations on specific contractors that match the same level of quality and customer service that we provide here at Exteriorize.
- On-Site consultations during the project to ensure it's being installed the way the design was intended, and built to last. Catching those details early in the process can prevent unnecessary headaches later on.
