Building is the process of turning vision into reality. Following is a description of a "typical" landscape project from start to finish:

Step 1: Once an agreed upon scope of work and budget are set, you are put on "The List" on a first come first served basis. Depending on how busy we are, this sometimes means only a short wait or other times it can be a while.

Step 2: Before we start digging, the locating service will be called to mark the site for utilities such as gas, phone, electric, etc. Sometimes a property survey and/or location of non-public site utilities will need to be done prior to work starting.

Step 3: The designer and crew conduct a site walk to discuss the vision and details of the project. You are encouraged to be present for this review.

Step 4: Site preparation and demolition come next. This can be quite exciting, noisy and messy. We do our best to limit the inconvenience to you and your neighbors.

Step 5: Installation. The art of our profession emerges while performing the work.

Step 5 continued: Our passion creates an intense focus on making refinements that can result in an outcome that is even better than was envisioned. Your participation in this aspect of the work can be a large part of the fun and success of the project.

Unless a project has multiple phases, we try to complete all the work in one continuous period from start to finish. Regular assessments and review of progress will assure that when we are done everyone is satisfied.

Step 6: Payment. After a final inspection we prepare paperwork to document and account for the work performed. On most projects we collect after the work is done. This reflects our belief that we need to earn your trust and the confidence in our ability to produce results that are clearly worth the investment. On large or multi-stage jobs, we may make arrangements for progress payments as portions of the work are completed.
