Designs are available for any size area or any level of detail you desire. Our goal is to provide you with
a well thought-out, detailed landscape plan that meets your specifications and reflects your personality. To accomplish
this, we feel it is important to know you. Therefore, the first step in the design process is to have you fill out a
landscape questionaire at your convenience.

Next, we make an appointment for a visit to the site.
The site visit lets us get to know you further and see the site firsthand. We do a visual survey of the property and
its surroundings to determine good features and problem areas needing attention. Measurements of the house and site
are recorded and photos are also taken during the initial visit.
All of this information is taken back to the office
and a colorful, hand-drawn layout of your property is prepared. Your design is an extensive plan which
includes
- Labeled plants and hardscape features
- Plant summary lists
- Hardscape specifications
- Recommendations for installation
- Recommendations for care and maintenance
Once completed, we
schedule a visit with you to review the design. A photo catalog of the plants used in your design can be prepared for
you.
Just as important as the design is the plan for implementing the design. At the final presentation of your
design, we will present you with an estimate for installation of the plan. If necessary, installation estimates can
be prepared for different sections or phases.
Design Cost and Fees
Designs
are billed at an hourly rate. The final fee is dependent on the area designed and the detail desired. Part or
all of the design fee may be rebated from your landscape installation cost when the plan is installed by Second Nature.
Your project may qualify for 100% design fee rebate. Ask your designer for details.
