  • Listen to your objectives so we understand your landscape dreams.
  • Walk the property with you, taking notes and listening, giving you the personal attention needed to fully conceive your new landscape plan.
  • Ask questions to help bring your ideas into better focus. 
    • These questions often uncover more specific aspects of your landscape design, such as whether you want water features, retaining walls, smaller rocks, or larger boulders to decorate your landscape. They illuminate the focal point of your landscape design. 
  • Discuss your anticipated budget for the project.
    • Your budget will likely depend on whether you need a garden design, only a front yard, or want to incorporate boulders and other xeriscape features. 
  • Discuss whether our design services are appropriate or proceed directly to a proposal for the installation of work discussed.

Design

If after discussing your specific needs you decide to proceed with a design plan, our highly talented and creative landscape designer will prepare a proposal for design services and submit it to you for approval. You must then return the signed proposal to our office with a retainer fee to begin the design process.

Landscaping Project Start

Depending on the scope of the project, our crew may be at your property anywhere from one day to one month or more. We will ask you if we can place a job sign with our name and logo on your property on the street. Not only does this show our pride in our work, but also assists landscape deliveries for the site. Construction elements such as rough grading, drainage, walls, walkways, water features, and trees are completed first. These operations require large machines and will cause disturbance to the ground, which is normal. All disturbances will be repaired before the job is done.

Landscape Plot Preparation and Execution

Bed preparation, soil conditioning, and installation of smaller plants are completed next. This work is done primarily with small-engine machines or manual labor. Installation of lighting fixtures, mulching, and lawn establishment starts to put the landscape picture back together. All plants are thoroughly watered, large trees are staked, and ribbons and tags are removed from the plants. All debris is picked up and disposed of properly.

Progress Meetings and Clean-Up

There will be progress meetings scheduled with the designer and the landscape foreman during the course of the job to assess progress and answer questions. Many times during the course of the construction, clients ask to add to or modify the plan. The designer will promptly assess the change and if needed, prepare a change order that displays price changes.

05

Follow-Up

Our landscape designer and landscape foreman will meet with you on-site to walk through the completed landscape. Any items that require attention will be noted and will be promptly resolved. You will be given written landscape maintenance care instructions to help you through the establishment period of your new landscape. You may contact your landscape designer anytime with detailed questions should the need arise.

Guarantee to You

Green Landscape Solutions guarantees your plants to be true to name and in healthy growing condition when installed. After all, it’s the owner’s responsibility to supply them with sufficient water and fertilizer to keep them healthy. Newly planted trees and shrubs must be watered year-round, including during the dormant season. Newly installed landscape plants will suffer transplant shock, particularly during the hot summer months. It is imperative that plants receive proper care, so as to minimize stress.
