The design process
From ideas to a garden.
Two concepts explore the possibilities. A final plan brings planting, materials, and outdoor spaces together.
Final Design
The selected direction, refined into a cohesive garden plan.
Concept study
Curved paths, natural stone, and circular gathering spaces.
Working together
A thoughtful, personal process.
01Consultation
We begin with a 90-minute consultation at your property. We walk the garden, discuss how you use the space, and explore your priorities, preferences, and ideas.
If we decide to move forward together, I prepare a proposal outlining the design scope, fees, and next steps.
02Design
Once the agreement is signed, I begin site analysis and measurements, then develop two concepts for us to review. Your feedback guides the refinement of a cohesive master plan, including the planting plan and plant schedule.
Your proposal outlines the specific deliverables, meetings, and included revisions.
03Installation Support
I can connect you with trusted landscape contractors I have established relationships with, or work with a contractor you choose. You contract directly with your selected contractor. I help communicate the design intent and review design questions as the work progresses.
On-site plant placement is included in your design package. Additional site visits, contractor coordination, and other support after final-plan delivery are available at an hourly rate, as agreed.
