1)  DEVELOPING A GARDEN CONCEPT

Information Gathering – To make our plan as accurate as possible, it is best if we have access to a recently prepared site survey or Real Property Report. Architect’s drawings of the house are extremely useful, although to-scale sketched layouts are sufficient if formal plans are unavailable. These plans ensure that we have the information we need to integrate the house into the landscape.

Garden Concept Plan – Once we have completed the research stage of the project, we develop the Garden Concept Plan. This plan will show the general layout of the garden and will indicate paving, paths, lawns, shrubs and planting areas, as well as the location of any important features (swimming pool, structures, ornaments, etc.).

Review Meeting – After developing the Garden Concept Plan, we will schedule a meeting for your review. We will present and explain our ideas and how we have put them together. This stage is one of the most exciting, as you see the first concrete expression of your dreams for the garden.

Concept Refinement – We will refine our concept to address any concerns you may have. Often, our clients are satisfied with the plan without any changes; if you are not, it is essential that we make any necessary modifications to the design before the project goes any further.

2) PREPARING THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1. Conceptual Details – This is where we fine-tune all the detailed elements that make up your garden. We will sketch up our ideas and present them to you. Once we have your approval of our concept, we will proceed with more formal drawings.
2. Working Drawings – We will develop working drawings – the documents that provide the information needed by the contractors or craftspeople that will build your garden. Depending on the complexity of your garden, these drawings may include:

a. Lighting Plan – location and types of landscape lights, as well as lighting zones

b. Paving Plan – materials and patterns, and their installation specifications

c. Irrigation Plan – supply lines, sprinkler heads, drip irrigation

d. Grading/Surface Drainage Plan – retaining walls, slopes of hard-surface areas, stairs, drains

e. Subsurface Drainage Plan – layout of drainage tile in soft landscape areas

f. Layout Plan – precise measurements of all areas and distances

g. Planting Plan – quantity, variety, size and location of all plants

h. Tree Plan – location, size, type and source for trees – on large projects only

i. Detail Drawings – for custom-made fences, gates, structures, walls, stairs, etc.

3) NURSERY VISITS & TREE SEARCHES

We will visit nurseries as needed to find specific plants and to ensure the quality of all selections. For more extensive gardens, we may need to make a relatively broad search to find unique specimens. Also, we will arrange plant sourcing and delivery as well as professional setting out and planting of your plants.

4) PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND SITE VISITS

Our involvement in your project does not end once the drawings are finalized. We also spend time on site, giving final adjustments to the plans and directing the installation of larger features. In case you decide to employ Park Landscaping to build our design, project management, and continual progress monitoring is included in your quote.

5) CONTINUING CARE

We stand behind our work. Our gardens will develop, grow and endure over time, revealing successive layers of beauty. We will suggest a maintenance professional who can work with you to take care of the garden. We also encourage you to call us for annual or seasonal reviews so that we can offer fresh input into your garden’s maintenance and development.
