OUTDOOR DESIGN PROCESS
Planning Your Dreams
Discovery
We typically begin our outdoor design projects with a meeting at the client’s home or property. These first meetings usually take about an hour but can go longer if the client wishes. During this meeting we are interested in seeing the outdoor spaces that we will be designing for and to discuss how our client is hoping to arrange the features and landscaping they would like to add. This allows us to identify potential challenges such as limited space or low lying areas that are prone to flooding.
In visiting the outdoor spaces, we are also interested in learning about our client’s preferred design styles and in discussing what major features they are envisioning; big pool, small pool, with a spa or not, a space for their outdoor grill or an entire covered outdoor kitchen with a bar and room for a table, types of hardscapes and decks, the types and colors of plants they hope to add, etc. Our experience with all levels of outdoor design allows us to provide a conceptual budget and identify key aspects of our client’s goals and preferences.

Preliminary and Initial Designs
After learning your goals, style preferences, and having established a conceptual budget, we will begin to formulate our initial design recommendations. At this stage, we use our vast experience with construction materials, design options and natural elements. We also consider deed restrictions, community rules and local building codes. On occasion we schedule additional site visits to gather more information to confirm our initial plans and ideas.
After verifying that our initial ideas are feasible, we prepare drawings and images that allow us to present our initial design concepts and direction. The idea here is to give you our suggestions on the over all layout of the space to help you visualize the flow and aesthetic feel of major features such as hardscapes areas, pool and spa placement, cooking areas, kitchen placement, and of course landscaped areas.
The preliminary designs begin the process of adjusting and fine tuning our ideas to your exact preferences. When you are excited about how we plan to use the available space, we begin to collaborate closely with you to select materials, make style and color decisions and work to evolve our outdoor design plan for the outdoor space of your dreams.

Final Designs and Plans
Upon receiving your approval of the initial outdoor design plans, our Jacksonville landscape design firm’s landscape architects and designers will produce detailed color renderings of how your outdoor spaces will look upon completion, usually 10 to 15 of these color renderings will give you a very clear picture of what you can expect your spaces to look like when completed. In addition to presenting your plans to you, we also discuss them at length with our landscape design partners; the skilled trades we trust to properly construct and install the features of your new outdoor spaces exactly how they were designed.
After receiving your final approvals and confirming that your plans can be completed as planned with our trade partners, the necessary work needed to turn your dreams into reality can begin.

Your Dreams Become Reality
When work begins, our clients usually count on our familiarity with the details of the outdoor designs we collaboratively created with them to work with our vetted trade partners to assure that the plans are closely followed. If you prefer that we manage the transition of your outdoor space with the help of our outdoor design partners, we will provide them with detailed plans and drawings to assure that they have the vision to complete work as it was planned. And we will provide you with their respective quotes. It is worth noting that we do not mark up the quotes from our partners. You will receive them as they were prepared.
We have total confidence in our partners and have repeatedly watched them deliver outstanding workmanship on our outdoor design projects. Once work begins our objective is to clarify any questions that may arise about our plans and act as an intermediary to keep you fully informed while all work is being performed and completed.
As stages of your project are completed by our partners, we will perform initial verifications that the plans were followed. When all work is completed, we will confirm your complete and total excitement. And if anything needs a small adjustment we will see that it is taken care of.
