design process

Our first meeting will take about an hour and will involve us discussing your needs and wants for the space along with your budget. I’ll take all the necessary photos and measurements including detailing where windows and doors are, taking elevation measurements, noting light conditions and where existing trees and shrubs are 

Your first concept is delivered electronically for review. The concept will include all the hard landscape features - walkways, patios, decks, buildings, etc as well as garden beds and trees. This will give you an overall feel of the shapes and forms I have in mind and will serve as our jumping off point for your design and allows for open discussion of my thoughts and ideas. 

All our design packages are customized for your needs and can contain many components. These may include 

• Hardscape Plan including all the hardscape features that create the "bones" of the garden. This will include walkways, patios, decks, waterfeatures, retaining walls and more
•  Planting Plan including the location of all plants included on the plan with their full name and quantities. It is important to get the right plant for the right space! 
• Lighting Plans so you can enjoy your garden any time of the day!
• Dimension Plans 
• Site Plans for permits with the City or Conservation Authority
• Colour Renderings
• 3D Renderings
• Material Take Offs
• Plant and Materials Lists
