Our Process

Ensuring Your Satisfaction from Start to Finish

Our designers, project managers, and craftsmen work closely with you throughout the entire remodeling process, offering the highest level of commitment and expertise.

Step #1

CONSULTATION

We begin with a 30-45 minute consultation to discuss your vision.

During this meeting, we will:

Review your needs and preferences
Discuss general style and material options
Survey the landscape
Gather information to create a loose design and establish a build budget

Step #2

BUDGET & PROPOSAL

Based on the consultation, we will provide an initial scope of work, budget proposal, and material options. This typically includes add-on options for additional features or material upgrades.

Step #3

PROJECT PLANNING, SCHEDULING & PREPARATION

We refine the details of each project component, finalize material selections, and establish the timeline and payment terms. If a design fee is required, a design and planning deposit will be made.

Project Planning Steps:

Measure and photograph the site
Create a scaled, plan-view drawing of the hardscape and general planting areas
Review, edit, and refine the draft drawing
Produce a revised budget/proposal reflecting the confirmed scope of work

Scheduling Steps:

Confirm the project timeline
Finalize material selections
Produce a detailed construction plan
Conduct a site visit to review the layout

Pre-Construction Preparation:

Assemble material photos and samples
On-site layout of hardscape and elevations
Source and order hardscape materials
Create final hardscape construction drawings

Step #4

BUILD

We bring your vision to life!

This phase includes:

Creating final construction drawings
Contacting Dig Safe for underground utilities
Conducting a pre-inspection kickoff with installation crews
Establishing a detailed on-site layout
Executing the project with continuous communication, including updated sketches and renderings to adapt to intricate features or site conditions

Step #5

WALKTHROUGH & FOLLOW UP

Upon project completion, we will walk through the finished space together to:

Review all features and discuss care instructions
Ensure everything meets your expectations
Plan a follow-up visit to confirm that everything is looking and functioning just right
