Our Process

We have developed and perfected our signature process to make sure your project is innovative, efficient, and cost effective.  We deliver our projects on time and on budget and have a single team assigned to you from concept to completion to guarantee the best results.

Step 1: Design Consultation

Our process starts with a free, in-office, Design Consultation where our President, Jeremy Scarlett, will meet with you to discuss your project to get a general overview of your needs and desires and to explain our 2 -step Design/Build process. We find it most beneficial to have everyone with a say in the project present at this initial meeting. Nothing is more frustrating than an interested party coming to the table for the first time at the final project presentation. We start all of our projects with a design and a budget to insure everyone is on the same page from you to the designers and to the install crew. Our Design Package includes a 1 page, digital and scaled, 2D black and white construction drawing as well as full color 3D renderings and fly-through animation with day and night views.  They are yours to keep should you choose to use another contractor to do the job yourself but of course the ultimate goal is for us to complete the project. This meeting with a cost presented for the Design Package.

Step 2: On-Site Design Meeting

Once design Package has been agreed to, we will schedule the on-site Design Meeting. Our designers will meet you at your property to go over all the details of your project. We will also complete our site work at this meeting including measurements, inventory, and photos and video. Once back to the office, we will begin your 2D design.

Step 3: Preliminary Design & Budget Review

Once we have your design laid out with all major elements in place, we will have you back to the office for a Preliminary Design Review. We will review what has been created thuis far as well as go over the projected project costs. After this meeting, we will make any adjustments needed begin working to complete the Design Package.

Step 4: Final Design Presentation

We will present the completed conceptual design to you at our office including playing the 3D animations. We will complete the presentation with a detailed cost breakdown of the project and give you a roadmap for completing in phases if need be. The Design Package is now completed.

Step 5: Construction Contract

Once you have decided to proceed with some or all of the presented work, we will draft a contract with set lump sum price, start date, completion date, the specifics of the agreed upon scope of work and the accompanying design. The deposit for construction contracts in the state of CA is $1,000.00. This plus the signed contract locks you in to a schedule, scope of work, and set price.

Step 6: Build Phase

When your start date approaches, your assigned Project Manager will contact you for a walk through. We will re-confirm all the details and answer any questions that have come up. Your Project Manager and his crew will start your project and remain on it everyday until it is complete.

Step 7: Final Walk Through

You will have a Final Walk Through with your Project Manager and be introduced to our Warranty Tech who will shepherd the project through its first 90 days.

Step 8: Post Construction 90 Day Period

During the first 90 days after project completion, we warranty all plant material 100%. We visit the site periodically to check on the plants and irrigation and replace any plants that die during this period for free. We will also manage the irrigation system onsite and remotely during this time. Once this period is up, the yard should be well on its way to taking hold.

Step 9: 90 Day Period Completion

After the 90 days is up, our Warranty tech will do a final walk through and hand you the reins to the project. We will always be available for questions and fixes in the future of need be (our additional work, we love working for past clients!)
