STAGES OF DESIGN
Our Process:
The Initial Meeting:
When we set up the initial meeting, we meet on site to evaluate the property, discuss your wants, needs and ultimate vision. We do ask that all the decision makers be present; this allows us the opportunity to understand everyone’s vision so that we can come back with the right plan to move forward. You may want to have examples of what you are looking for – a great resource for inspiration, Houzz.com, Pinterest, Better Homes & Gardens, Martha Stewart Living or similar resources.
The Design Process:
We begin with an accurate measurement of your property, for grading, steps, wall heights etc.; existing plants, irrigation and other utilities are also noted. Due to the extent of this process, a fee is associated with the initial design as well as revisions to the plan. The fees will be credited back to you if you hire SiteScapes to install the project.
Reviewing the Initial Plan:
With all information noted, the SiteScapes design team puts it on paper; upon completion of the design, we set up an appointment to review the design. During this meeting, we can make changes to the plan and begin to finalize materials and labor; we will be prepared with a preliminary estimate. Once finalized, you will have a complete estimate, along with an option for breaking the project up into phases if desired.
Construction:
Prior to starting the project, you will be introduced to the crew leader and team, we do one final walk-thru verbalizing what will happen; and we provide a date when we will begin, we bring in equipment, materials etc.
Project Completion:
Upon completion, we go over everything with you; including how to operate anything we installed; we also address any concerns, and finally review future maintenance to keep it looking great.
