Step 1: Get in Touch
Fill out our contact form or call us to schedule a project consultation.
Step 2: Introduction Call
In a quick 15-minute call, we’ll get to know you, hear more about your vision, and share how we work. This is also a chance to see if we’re the right fit to design, build, and care for your outdoor space. If it feels like a match, we’ll connect you with the team members best suited to guide your project.
Step 3: Discovery Call & Design Proposal
Next, you’ll meet with one of our design experts to explore what’s possible for your outdoor space considering your goals, budget, and timeline. Then you’ll receive a detailed proposal outlining our 3-Step Design Process, projected schedule, and a design fee, typically starting at $3,200.
Step 4: Design Development
With your project officially underway, we’ll invite you to contribute inspiration on your personal online design board, helping us tune into your style and preferences. Next, we’ll visit your property to measure, photograph, and note any existing elements you’d like preserved.
