2. Presentation meeting

Using the base plans created during the site measurement phase, we work out several options & illustrate them.

There are no construction drawings with this package. It's just illustrated concepts, meant for either people who know how to build anything or those just wishing to visualize the options for their property in greater detail than is possible with a sketch consult.

The plans shown are typical examples of illustrated concepts.

1. First Step: Site Measurements for design

Once we've received an approved proposal, we normally measure the areas of your landscape to be redesigned, along with the exterior of your house. These measurements often include heights so we can determine drainage and steps.

This is the base plan used for this design, with elevation numbers for the front yard. Base plans are done in CAD (on a computer) for optimum accuracy. We use a transit to measure elevations & positions of objects - not just a tape measure.

Larger & more complicated sites require professional surveying.
