The Basic Steps in Developing a Landscape Design

We are aware that starting a landscaping job can appear daunting. You could be asking yourself, “How do I begin?” 

In Hollandia Outdoor Living Concepts, we’re dedicated to exceeding the expectations of each customer we associate together –whatever the undertaking, and at each phase of the job. To assist you to understand what to anticipate from working with us, we detailed the following easy steps of our landscape design and installation procedure:

Our designers believe that the very first appointment may be the most important step of the full procedure.

This is our opportunity to learn about you, your preferences, and really determine what it is you’re seeking to do with your landscaping job. We invest as much time as necessary in this stage to develop a good comprehension of your goals so we can locate the appropriate options and design the perfect space.

Stage 1: First Appointment–Getting to Know You

Our designers will ask a whole lot of questions throughout this appointment, for example:

• What exactly are you wishing to alter in your lawn or landscape?
• What do you dislike or like or dislike about your existing picture?
• Having photos available of everything you enjoy can be useful at this point. Not everybody interprets a specific design style in the same manner!
• What plants would be the favorites, or what colors do you like the most?
• Can be more/less solitude a concern? What perspectives about the property are important to enhance or block?
• During what period would you wish to find the landscape at its very best? Are four seasons of curiosity that a priority?
• How can you need to utilize the space?
• Have you got some drainage problems which have to be dealt with?
• Just how much maintenance are you prepared to do following the job, or are you going to contract that outside?

If you simply have a rough idea about exactly what you’re looking for or do not believe you could answer some of those questions, do not worry! Our seasoned landscape designers can help you produce the ideal vision for your area.

We will also ask you in your financial plan and the event, you’d like to do the job all at once or in stages. Our designers do a fantastic job of supplying ballpark figures of just how much a job could cost dependent on the dialogue in this very first consultation. While we can’t provide specific figures at this point we like to place budget guidelines set up so that we may design a solution that can fit your budget and prevent frustration later on.

We establish that we’re a fantastic match for one another in this meeting. We’ll then decide whether there’s a design fee needed to proceed forward. Design fees vary based upon the size and reach of the undertaking, and also not all jobs need a design fee. If the two parties agree to proceed, we program a design demonstration.

Stage 2: Design–Getting to Work

After we have met with you personally and decided that the aims of your job, we spend some time on your own property to examine the website further. Here are a few of our recent projects, check them out.

We take photos in this period too.

We then come back to the workplace and start designing.

For many jobs, we’ll produce a 3D design with our 3D landscaping program. You will have the ability to see your house and present features surrounded by the new landscape we have designed for you.

This will prevent the frustration of attempting to comprehend and imagine a 2D print, also it enables us to create changes on the fly if necessary. All in all, the 3D design will save you money and time.

Stage 3: Design Presentation/Proposal Review

We schedule the initial design review within fourteen days of your initial appointment. This appointment can happen at our office or in your place.

Collectively, we examine how the landscape design, plants, and material choice and discuss how the land is going to be changed. Small changes could be made to the design in the minute as needed. If more important modifications to the design will be needed, another meeting will be scheduled.

We then examine the real proposal at this moment. For bigger projects, the initial presentation may include a conceptual design and funding proposal. Another appointment is set for a last design presentation and suggestion.

Stage 4: Setup

The setup method is scheduled to start after a signed agreement is obtained with a deposit. We update you frequently seeing schedule upgrades.

Throughout the building, the designer will create daily site visits to make sure the job has been installed based on the design. The designer will remain your main contact during the duration of this job.

Stage 5: Care

Nearly every project demands some yearly maintenance. We adore the chance to keep that which we installed. We can customize a care plan to maintain your lawn and landscape looking good so you may enjoy your spare time on your improved distance!
