Initial Site Visit and Consultation
Landscape design begins with a comprehensive site visit, which typically costs between $350 and $450, depending on how many areas of the home are involved in the design. During the visit, our designer spends about an hour walking the property with the homeowner to understand how they utilize their outdoor space. This walk-through helps in gathering crucial insights into the client’s needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Every detail—from lounging spots to outdoor dining areas—plays an important role in crafting a design that reflects how the homeowners wish to interact with their environment.
Selecting The Right Plants
When selecting plants, it’s essential to choose species that are well-suited to the climate zone. For example, in Zone 8, which includes large parts of the Southern U.S., only plants that can thrive in that specific zone are recommended. This helps ensure long-term success in the landscape. Additionally, proper watering practices are critical for the first year after the installation of new plants, as it allows the plants to establish strong root systems. The designer also evaluates any existing plants on the property for potential insect, fungal, or watering issues, which may need to be addressed to seamlessly integrate them into the new design.
Design Delivery
Once the design is finalized, it is sent to the homeowners via email, complete with full-color imagery and details on each plant’s name, growth habits, and care requirements. This ensures that homeowners have all the information they need to maintain their new landscape effectively. With modern technology, this process is streamlined, allowing homeowners to review and approve their designs with ease.
Installation By Trusted Professionals
An essential part of the landscape design process is ensuring that the installation is handled by trusted professionals. In this case, only independent installers with a proven track record and reliable work ethic are used. These installers are highly skilled and knowledgeable, ensuring that the vision of the design is executed properly and that the homeowner’s new landscape thrives.
Optimal Timing in Zone 8
As for the best time to plant, fall and early winter are considered ideal in Zone 8 because the cooler temperatures allow new plants to establish without the stress of extreme heat. Spring is also a good planting season, though care should be taken to avoid planting once temperatures exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit, which can hinder a plant’s ability to settle into its new environment. These seasonal guidelines help ensure that plants have the best chance of success in their new landscape.
