Landscape
Design 
Our team of landscape designers create innovative custom designs that are
tailored to fit the lifestyles of our clients and their surrounding environments.
From small courtyard gardens to large commercial projects, Plant Providers works
closely with our clients to produce appropriate design solutions that bring serenity
and beauty to each garden setting.
How It Works

Initial Consultation
During the initial consultation, the designer and client take
a tour of the site and discuss the client's ideas. During this
process the designer offers ideas and solutions and discusses the
style of landscaping and plants best suited to your site. Our design
portfolio is available to view as well as samples of our designs.
The consultation is usually one hour. A consultation fee is charged
but is subtracted from your design fee should you hire us. After
the initial meeting, a proposal is prepared and sent to the client
indicating the design fee and scope of the project.
Design Process
Phase 1: Site Analysis
The designer assesses the site, takes measurements,
photographs, elevations and documents existing structures and plantings
so a detailed Site Analysis can be prepared to scale. The Site
Analysis will indicate vegetation to be retained, removed or relocated,
drainage issues, noise problems, privacy issues, sun and shade
patterns as well as any other considerations specific to your site. Phase 2: Preliminary Design
A conceptual sketch of proposed hardscape
elements such as a patios, water features, walks and decks, retaining
walls and fencing will be provided as well as plant materials.
The designer and client meet to review the design, plant selection,
review photographs of proposed materials and sketch any revisions
to the plan. Once the Preliminary Design is approved by the client,
the designer prepares the Final Design.
Phase 3: Final Design
The Final Design will indicate placement and details of hardscape elements as
well as plant materials which may be used to obtain bids for your project.
A list of plant materials indicating botanical name, common name, quantity
and sizes of each plant selected will be included. For an hourly fee, we can
personally select your plant materials, arrange for delivery and place the
plants on site.
Referrals
Plant Providers™ has established
relationships with a network of Landscape Contractors and other
landscape professionals allowing us to assist you in matching the
right installer with the right job. We only refer contractors who

Maintenance
This is an area that is
often overlooked or not included in the budget. Even low maintenance
landscapes require attention from time to time in order for the
landscape to look its best. We can assist you with developing
a maintenance program and referring a maintenance company or individual
that best matches your site's requirements. |
