The Process
How Do we Get Started?
Consultation
At this
first meeting, the client will introduce themselves and
their landscape
to the designer and talk about general wants, needs, and
limitations.
The
cost of the initial visit is $75 per hour. At the end of
the consultation, a starting point will have been decided
on. The result may be a few verbal suggestions or the decision
to proceed with a design.
Design
The
design process always begins with an initial consultation
with a landscape architect or designer. At SolTerra Landscape
we strive to tailor your landscape design to reflect your
personal tastes as well as your preferences regarding the
affordability and manageability of the landscape.
The
designer gathers impressions from the consultation meeting
and begins designing a new landscape. Two proposals are
involved: A design proposal with the price to create the
landscape design, and an installation proposal with the
price to install the landscape.
In the
design, plants are selected for characteristics such as
year-round interest, diverse color palette selection,
foliage textures, plant size, consideration of architectural
elements, maintenance needs and your preferences. The design
is drawn and quantities of plants are determined.
We'll
meet with you for the design presentation. If revisions
are discussed, drawings, plant lists, timelines and estimates
will be modified, and presented again.
Once
the design process is finished,
details are finalized and a price is agreed upon, the installation
process can begin.
Installation
Our installation
team is thorough, professional, and efficient, always striving
to be pleasant and create the least intrusive work area
to make our clients feel as comfortable as possible during
the installation phase.
SolTerra
Landscape's installation crews are courteous and pride themselves
on their knowledge and experience. Knowing that the best
possible plant specimens have been selected as well as consideration
of weather elements, drainage and sun exposure, SolTerra's
installation crew knows the importance of doing the job
correctly to help make your project a success!
If necessary,
other contractors may be brought in to do pieces of your
project depending of your project design. Our field managers
will oversee all aspects of the installation.
Maintenance
To compliment
our installation service and ensure that a landscape is
nurtured and developed to its greatest potential, we offer
an ongoing maintenance service. This is not a traditional
"mow and blow" service common to our industry,
but rather a discriminating landscape service with an eye
for detail that will keep your property in peak performance,
knowing that the strength of any good landscape is seasonal
change, adapting to those changes and proper pruning. Contact
us for a free service estimate, which can begin immediately
upon a service agreement acceptance.
