Working With a Designer

Dos and Don’ts of working with a Landscape Designer:

1. Do plan ahead. The design process can take weeks, often with several plan revisions.  Your designer may have a very full schedule, especially in springtime. And the backlog for the crews can be months long. Let us know about upcoming events if you want your project completed by a certain date.

2. Do have all stakeholders present for all meetings.  If you have a partner or spouse, be sure to include them in conversations and decisions.

3. Do be open to new ideas. Your designer has a vast knowledge of plants, products and possibilities that will work for your project goals.

4. Do be honest about your budget. We can often break projects into phases so you can get everything on your wish list over time.

5. Don’t worry if you want to change something. It’s part of the process and doesn’t hurt your designer’s feelings.

6. Don’t think you need to be home during the installation. Your designer will also manage the project and our crews are skilled, experienced, and professional.

7. Do tell the neighbors that work is being done. We make a lot of noise and dust. But afterwards, we clean up. Then, invite your neighbors over for a party on your new patio.
