Our landscape design-build process allows us to create custom environments to fit our Colorado clients' site and lifestyle needs. Once a plan is in place our team is prepared to build or renovate landscapes of any scope. Our outdoor living projects range from as small and intimate as a patio to projects as large as multi-family dwellings throughout the Colorado Springs area. Below you'll find all the steps to get from your ideas today to your completed dream project.
The initial design consultation is one of the most important visits. It is our chance to get to meet you and observe your unique site conditions. Our landscape designer will visit your site; take time to get to know your sense of style, likes and dislikes, and your landscape goals.
After the initial consultation, we will present you a design agreement that includes an estimated design and consultation cost. Once you've approved the design agreement, the fun begins!
Our team will once again visit your site for a thorough site analysis. After that, a designer gets to work translating your ideas and vision into a professionally drawn landscape design. This preliminary plan creatively solves the design challenges and opportunities for your project. Your plan shows the locations of proposed outdoor living features including patios, walkways, water features, fire pits, fireplaces, planting beds, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and landscape lighting.
After we've prepared the preliminary plan, we'll schedule an online plan review. We'll walk you through the landscape plan, and can look at photos and concepts, plant types, and materials to help nail down all the fine details. After the review, you'll have time to further consider the design. After you've made final decisions, we'll draw up the revised plan.
Once we have an approved plan in place, we will get to work on pricing what it will cost to install. We'll break down the pricing by work areas, so you'll be able to see right where the costs of the total plan are going. If the pricing for your landscape is out of reach, we can then look at for cost saving alternatives, reductions, and project phasing to help get your project to fit your budget.
Once we've got the approved plan and pricing in place, we'll provide a proposal. Once signed, we can lock you into our construction schedule.
This stage of the process brings your landscape design to life. Our construction crews are skilled in all phases of landscape and outdoor living installation, with expertise tailored to Colorado’s unique climate. Each project is installed by a dedicated crew led by an experienced foreman, ensuring clear communication throughout. With our combined design and construction experience, we can make adjustments on-site as needed to ensure the finished landscape is a perfect fit for your home and lifestyle.
At project close, you'll have a final walkthrough to make sure everything is just right. We'll also walk you through the operations of any features installed and provide advice on care and upkeep, and will provide helpful videos and information as well. If anything else arises we are just a phone call away.
