Full Beauty Design Package

1 | Initial Design Consultation

During the initial consultation (phone call or meeting at your house), we will have our first conversations about the project scope, including location, size, initial design ideas, uses, materials, budget, pain points and timeline. We want to listen to you, know how you live, and create the feel that you want in a landscape so that you can love and appreciate your new space.

2 | Site Analysis

A site analysis is performed to capture everything existing in your yard to date. We gather an inventory of everything to stay in your yard; this includes measurements of existing walks, decks, plant material etc. It also reviews the terrain and relative elevations. We also consider how the space relates to environmental considerations like site orientation, sun, shade, noise, wind, water, etc. We ask the homeowner to provide their most recent real property report and obtain a First Call of the area that will be under construction.

3 | Base Plan

With all the information gathered and provided from the Site Analysis, we prepare a Base Plan by entering all our findings into our CAD Software. This plan will be the foundation for creating the renovations and additions to your yard.

4 | Initial Concept Plan

The Initial Concept Plan is the jumping-off point for creating your dream space. This is where the magic happens; the Landscape Architectural Technologist will start putting their ideas and the homeowner’s vision into action. We want to communicate a clear understanding of the proposed work and the overall feel of the project. We will use images, rendering, material colours, and patterns to help us with this. When completed, this plan will be presented to the homeowner and used as a platform to move into a Final Design Plan.

5 | Final Design Plan

In this final stage, the Initial Concept Plan is taken further. With the client’s comments and revisions that have been made to the Initial Concept Plan, the Landscape Architectural Technologist will move this plan into more detail. This includes plant material (layout, sizes and quantities), hardscaping materials and pricing. From here, there will be a discussion with the client on whether they will proceed with the work independently or if they would like to engage a contractor. The Landscape Architectural Technologist will start construction drawings if a contractor is engaged.

6 | Construction Drawings

Construction drawings will be prepared if the homeowner chooses to hire a contractor. These drawings will include detailed site plans, cross sections, construction details, planting lists, and quantities.
