SERVICES: Landscape Design

Principles of Landscape Design:

• Repetition
• Balance of form, function and color
• Perspective, vistas and focal points
• Plant selection
• Site and design evaluation

Specifics of landscape design:

• A comprehensive plan
• Deciding on a style
• Drawing of plans or design as you go
• Shaping your site
• Know your property
• Tree and shrub placement
• Entry ways and foundation plantings
• Activity areas - work, play and relaxation

Installation rates are $45/hour and design rates are $75/hour. Designs include site and soil analysis and on average requires 10 hours to complete. Once a plan has been completed, cost and phase proposals based on the plan and your budget can be done. The overall cost of installing an entire property's landscape is estimated to be 15 to 20 percent of the property’s value, with installation spanning a period of two to five years.
