Our Process and Design Philosophy
Here at Plantscape, we want you to LOVE YOUR SPACE. Customer satisfaction is always our top priority from the first time you reach out to us to our last site visit. The design process plays a big part in that.
How do you USE your space?
One of our first considerations is: How do you use your space?
Prior to our first meeting, we’ll send you a design questionnaire. This will provide us with a background idea of what you’re hoping to achieve, whether it be increased curb appeal, refreshing an outdated design or creating your very own backyard oasis.
We will then schedule an onsite professional consultation at your convenience to assess your property and review any existing site conditions. We can then use our years of knowledge and expertise to begin envisioning a design that incorporates your personal style and needs with functionality, all within an established budget. Our design team will then turn the concept you’ve helped to create into a rendered drawing. The design serves as an integral visual aid to keep ideas consistent and assists our crew in bringing your project to life.
Design renderings begin at $400 and vary in price. Pricing ranges vary based on size, complexity, number of revisions, but cost is approximately 5 – 10% of the total cost of a project. A percentage of this fee is applied towards the final cost of your project should you decide to move forward with Plantscape.
If you’d like to take your design one step further to help fully envision your future landscape, we offer the following additional design services at an additional fee:
- Colour renderings of 2-D designs
