What should I expect from a landscape design?
A landscape design should provide you with a detailed plan for transforming your outdoor space into a functional and visually appealing area that meets your specific needs and preferences. Depending on the scope of the project and the level of detail you require, a landscape design may include the following elements:
1. Site analysis: A thorough evaluation of your property’s existing features, including topography, soil conditions, drainage, sun and shade patterns, and existing vegetation.
2. Conceptual design: A preliminary design that outlines the overall vision for your landscape, including the placement of major features such as patios, paths, water features, and plantings.
3. Hardscape design: A detailed plan for the placement and construction of non-plant features such as retaining walls, steps, decks, and outdoor structures.
4. Planting plan: A detailed plan for the placement, selection, and arrangement of plants based on your preferences, the site’s microclimates, and other factors.
5. Irrigation plan: A plan for the installation of an irrigation system to ensure that your plants receive adequate water.
6. Lighting plan: A plan for the installation of outdoor lighting to enhance the visual appeal and functionality of your landscape after dark.
Overall, a landscape design should provide you with a roadmap for creating a beautiful, functional, and sustainable outdoor space that meets your needs and enhances your quality of life. Contact us today to begin the process!
