Site Analysis
Site Analysis may include
Having the site professionally surveyed
We may take site measurements and shoot elevations
ourselves
Identifying and documenting existing site features and
characteristics
Creation of a digital CAD plan of your site
:: STEP 6 ::
Schematic Design aka Concepts
We create a series of Concepts for you in Plan View to show
design and layout possibilities
:: STEP 7 ::
Schematic Design (Concept) Revisions
After looking over the Concepts we will discuss what you
liked and didn’t like about the Concepts and make changes
accordingly
Honesty is key. Don’t worry about hurting our feelings!
We need to know what you like and don’t like about the
concepts – it’s your project!
:: DEVELOP ::
The Develop Phase is all about fine-tuning
your conceptual design, identifying the
specific materials to be used in your
project, construction budgets and
scheduling construction
:: DEVELOP ::
Overview

Landscape Master Plan
3D Models and/or Renderings
Creation of Construction Documents and Specifications
Estimation of Probable Construction Costs

Life Cycle Cost Analysis and Other Studies or Reports
Permitting Services

:: STEP 1 ::
Master Plan
If your project is large, complex or will be constructed over an
extended period of time, a Master Plan will serve as your long-
term planning document
:: STEP 2 ::
3D Models and Renderings
3D Models and renderings are a fantastic 21st century tool
which allows you to see and experience your finished project
before a shovel ever touches the ground

:: STEP 3 ::
Creation of Construction Documents and
Specifications
CDs are the “blue prints” for your project
Construction docs show and describe what goes where and
how its built
CDs allow contractors to give accurate construction pricing
:: STEP 4 ::
Estimation of Probable Construction Costs
Once we begin Construction Documents and start identifying
the materials that will be used in your project we can budget
the probable construction costs and adjust accordingly to fit
your budget
:: STEP 5 ::
Construction Phasing Plan
If your project won’t be built all at once, we will work with you
to develop a Construction Phasing Plan
Phasing Plan could be over a few months or a number of
years
Phasing plan can involve work performed DIY by you and/or
work performed by contractors
:: DELIVER :: Just because design is complete doesn't mean
we're done. The project isn't real until its built.
The Deliver Phase is all about Construction and
Maintenance.
We’re here to guide you through the
construction phase of the project to make sure
the project is constructed correctly and you are
getting the best value for your money

bids and/or proposals
Work with you to decide on the best contractor to build your

:: STEP 1B ::

Often times a Landscape Contractor is identified and selected
early in the design process. If this is the case we will
Make sure the selected contractor has all of the information
necessary to accurately budget and price your project
Work with you and the contractor to make sure the project
will fit into your budget and adjust the project design and
scope accordingly
Help you when negotiating price and contract terms with the

construction documents and design intent
Review and approve or deny the Landscape Contractor’s progress billings
Answer your questions and the landscape contractor’s questions as necessary

ensure all new plants, trees, shrubs and surfaces are
properly cared for
