Your Vision, Our Expertise: Landscape Design Consultation at The Groundswell Design

 

Our team at Groundswell Landscape believes wholeheartedly that every home, property, and outdoor environment deserve only the best vision and care. No two properties are ever the same. That is why we emphasize clients always start working with us through a complimentary landscape design consultation.

These services are at the very core of how we guide our clients through a design process, resulting in a reflective garden, outdoor entertainment space, or simply a layered planting bed that is properly designed, installed, and maintained. To help clarify your goals and prepare you for our consultation, let’s review some essential information you may want to get ready.

How to Prepare for Your Consultation

Preparation is everything when it comes to landscape design consultations. Always begin with a vision in mind. If it helps, go online, and check out Pinterest, Instagram, or Google image search for similar gardens, landscape elements, or designs that align with your style.

functionality of your space. Ask yourself if this will be used for large parties, the occasional guest, or as your private oasis.

Finally, set a budget in mind while you take photos of the current area. Going into a consultation with an idea of how much you wish to spend helps us narrow the focus of our work so everyone feels appreciated with a quality result.

The Consultation Process

Now that we have the preliminaries out of the way, let’s look closer at the individual steps for our landscape design consultation.


•    Initial Meeting: Here, we get to know one another. An initial onsite consultation is typically scheduled through our online booking, phone call, or email exchange. We’ll walk the property, cover the essentials of your goals, discuss the property’s opportunities, and cover the details of budget and phasing.

•    Site Analysis: Your property will be thoroughly analyzed, photographed, and measured. This will be executed in order to properly capture the character of your property and inform creative design decisions moving forward.

•    Discussion: Here is where we cover details such as microclimate, seasonal interest, native plant design, and how these fit into your goals of functionality and aesthetic.

. Design & Installation Package: Our team will take all the relevant information back to the office and start the design process. Initial concepts and designs will pair with estimates of construction, to help develop our budget and begin outlining the landscape you desire.

After finalizing the landscape plan and proposal for construction, we’ll begin working on your landscape installation, at a pre-scheduled start date. Ensuring you have a single point of contact for any questions or updates as we move through the construction phase, is paramount to our Groundswell experience. When everything is completed, we get the pleasure of walking you through the finalized project for an in-depth review. We love this last step because it is so rewarding to see the joy on people’s faces when they experience their custom landscape.
