Landscaping Services & Process

Process

• 01 Initial Consultation add

  Our design process starts with an initial meeting with one of our Landscape Designers at your home. An initial consultation fee of $100.00 to meet with one of our Design Professionals is required prior to the initial consultation. At the initial consultation, we start with listening and understanding your ideas, needs, wants and dreams. Your Landscape Designer will talk you through a short questionnaire that will help in creating a concept that is in line with your ideas and vision. As we grow a personal understanding of your ideas and your vision, we will discuss the fee associated with the design as well as a budget for the project. Design fees typically range from $150-$500, however, fees for large scale projects requiring significant design work can range from $500-$5000 plus costs associated with structural and/or civil engineering plans and geotechnical exploration. To conclude your initial consultation we will set up a presentation meeting at an agreed upon time (typically one week from the initial consultation, but can take longer depending on scope of work).

• 02 Concept & Design add

  Our design team will go to work for you. Your first concept will be a scaled, plan-view design outlining general layout and features of your new landscape. A proposal detailing costs for the different features of the plan will be provided in most cases. For larger scale projects (typically $150K and above), proposals outlining cost may not be provided with the initial concept. Rather, these concepts are created with a rough budget in mind, revised and then priced out for construction costs.

• 03 Presentation & Timeline add

  At the previously agreed upon time, your Landscape Designer will meet with you at our office or at your home to walk you through all aspects of the design. At this time we will discuss any further ideas and/or revisions that need to be made. If significant design/layout revisions are required, we will set up another presentation meeting at an agreed upon time. If the design and proposal are agreed upon, your Landscape Designer will talk you through a checklist detailing specific materials for each part of the project. Once finalized, we will discuss scheduling and timeline for construction as well as a payment schedule for the project. General terms and conditions will be reviewed and agreed upon and an initial deposit is paid to cover materials and the initial start-up costs of the project.

• 04 Build add

  A strict level of detail is maintained throughout the entire construction process completing the transformation from concept to realization of your new one-of-a-kind landscape. Changes or variations during construction can be implemented. Either a written change order or an email will be provided outlining the reduction or increase in cost and will be agreed upon and confirmed in writing prior to implementation. Progress payments are made per previously agreed upon payment schedule.

• 05 Walk-Through & Maintenance add

  Your Landscape Designer will meet with you at your home and walk through your new landscape to ensure everything has been completed to the design specs and to ensure your satisfaction. We will discuss proper maintenance of all aspects of your landscape. At this time, we can also discuss a Weller Brothers maintenance program customized to your landscape and lifestyle. The remaining balance is paid.
