Services

01 — Discovery

The foundation of our original designs is our process. Each client is unique, and each property is unique. Our Signature Discovery Process helps us understand you and see hidden potential in your property. The budget is also discussed, maximizing the potential of the property and original design results.

02 — Concept Design

An original design concept plan is created and presented along with supporting photographs and imagery. * Also offered as a stand-alone consultation.

03 — Permitting

With over a decade of experience permitting projects in the coastal towns of Fairfield County Connecticut as well as projects along the Hudson River, the Hamptons, and many upland towns, we have a great track record of working with municipalities and our consultant partners to get approvals.

04 — Design Development

The concept plan is further developed to show hardscape details, specific plant names, wood construction details, light locations, equipment and furniture specifications, etc. An overall estimate is discussed.

05 — Construction Documents

Depending on the size of the project, light or full construction documents are prepared. Documents include site preparation instructions, soil amendment instructions, construction methods, layout plans, etc. This set of plans is distributed for bidding.

06 — Project Management

We assist our clients in obtaining bids, contractor selection, and overseeing construction.

07 — Procurement

Planters, furniture, and special items are ordered so they arrive as they are needed on site.

08 — Final Walk-throughs

As each trade completes their scope, a walk-through is done to approve the work. Adjustments and additions are made to finalize the design intention.

09 — Maintenance

A lush, thriving landscape starts with the installation but ends with maintenance. We put the right plan and people in place so the landscape will flourish.
