Design Principles

 
 

Successful planting design requires knowledge about plant selection. A Planting design will be developed to give you a creative and functional approach for individual, site-specific landscape planting. The irrigation design is completed after the planting design to ensure proper watering to all of the plants and lawns. We design the irrigation system to save water resources at the same time providing the appropriate water at the optimal time. 

   

Design Considerations

 
 

In the landscape plan, the designer is dealing with living plants that are subject to a all of the  weather conditions in your planting zone, different soil types, insect and disease problems, and a host of other environmental and physical circumstances. The landscape designer must deal with plants that works for every season with the leafing out in spring, the aroma and visual delight of fragrant flowers, and the bare branches in winter. Change in the landscape is never constant as the seasons come and go. How the designer uses plants and other material components in the Landscape Planting Plan involves paying careful attention to detail, a thorough knowledge of practical horticulture, and a good understanding of the basic principles and elements of design. Gary faces the challenge of creating a plan that is pleasing to the senses and that visually, functionally and aesthetically improves the appearance of the landscape at an affordable cost.

 

   

What Differentiates Us

 
 

We are committed to designing landscapes and outdoor spaces that are 'Green' and sustainable. Using the 3 R's (reduce reuse recycle) as a guiding principle to our designs. Your landscape will be designed to create a functional and aesthetic plan with sustainability in mind. We are able to provide design services to anyone anywhere in the U.S. all you have to do is email us a site plan in PDF format. We can then, in consultation with you develop the planting plan and include irrigation, Hardscape and lighting.

Our fees for design are reasonable and affordable. If you plan to do the landscaping yourself a plan will help you in completing the landscape with professional results. If you plan to hire a contractor the design will become part of your contract. This will ensure you get what you have envisioned and not what the contractor wants to sell you.
