Ground One’s 5 Step Landscape Design + Build Process
First Consultation:
We begin our process by scheduling a consultation with you at your home in the Twin Cities metro area. During this initial meeting, we’ll let you do most of the talking while we listen and learn what you hope to achieve through our landscape design and build services. By asking the right questions, we’ll learn everything we need to know to develop a great design for your landscape. We’ll also make sure you have a full understanding of our process so there’s no confusion down the line. Finally, our landscape design specialists will give you a schematic design agreement to sign.
Schematic Design:
After you sign our agreement and pay the landscape design fee, our team can get started on our landscape design process. To create our initial schematic design, we’ll thoroughly analyze every inch of your landscape. Our team will take photographs and measurements of your outdoor property, as well as reviewing any existing maps of the site to help us plan out a flawless design. Incorporating all of the landscape features you want, our landscape designers will create a schematic design drawing that shows what your new landscape will look like in detail. When we present our schematic drawing to you, we’ll also give you a preliminary quote for the full landscape build process. If you decide you want to continue working with us for a full landscape design and build, you can make your down payment at this time.
Developing the Design:
Working off the initial schematic, our landscape architects will develop a more thorough design. During the design development phase, we’ll collaborate closely with you to help bring your dream for the perfect landscape to life. The combination of your vision and our expertise will allow us to develop a beautiful landscape that’s sustainable in the long term with minimal maintenance. Our finalized landscape design will include construction drawings that note material choices for hardscapes and planting locations. Your full satisfaction is our priority, and we won’t move on to the landscape build phase until you’ve signed off on our landscape design.
Building Your Landscape:
Now that our landscape architects have completed your landscape design, all that’s left is installation. Working off the final design, our landscape construction crew will build out all of the planned features of your landscape, including paver walkways, patio and outdoor entertainment areas, and water features. Our crew will also plant all of the trees and shrubs in the areas specified by the design. Throughout the landscape building process, our project manager and construction foreman will frequently update you so that you’re clear on our timeline and what’s being completed each day.
Final Walkthrough:
Once our landscape build process has concluded, our project manager will join you for a final walkthrough to make sure that everything looks exactly the way you want it to. We’ll also provide clear maintenance instructions to help you keep your brand new landscape in great shape from season to season. Now all that’s left is for you to get outside and start enjoying your personalized landscape!
