Our design process begins with a complimentary visit to your home within a 60 mile radius of our Gainesville office. Outside the 60-mile radius, we charge $250 which we apply to your design fee if you move forward with a design agreement. At the initial meeting, we will discuss the design style and components you have in mind and your overall budget. This will help define your needs, the scope of services, and generate some preliminary ideas. We will share design ideas for your home and perhaps draw up a quick sketch that works within your vision, budget, and site. The initial meeting also will provide you an opportunity to see some examples of our work and also answer any questions you may have.

We will quote a design fee at the time of the appointment and then shortly afterwards send you a design proposal with the scope of services from our discussion. To schedule an initial design consultation, you may complete the online contact form or contact us by phone.

Preparing for the Initial Meeting

To prepare for the meeting, complete and submit through our website the Design Questionnaire. Choose all the outdoor features you would like to accomplish your goal. For example, you may want an outdoor kitchen to cook and entertain; or perhaps, you may want a fireplace or a swimming pool for the family to enjoy. We suggest that you collect examples from magazines that show pictures of landscapes and garden architecture that you like.
