What is involved in the BUILD process?
It all starts with a design that is appropriate for your lifestyle and your budget.
Once we have the plan finalized, every project begins with site preparation and clearing. We literally create your garden from the ground up. Depending on how drastic the transformation is, we establish and build the infrastructure and hardscape, such as drainage, irrigation systems, and lighting.
Then we focus on other elements of landscape construction included in the hardscape, such as:
- fences, decks, retaining walls, and arbors
- paths and patios
- concrete
- outdoor kitchens
- natural stone and boulders
- water features, living walls, and special effects
The last phase of building your garden involves planting the softscape (the plant material). The style and the feel of the garden come to completion when you add the plant material, and then include the really unique pieces that make the garden special. We can help you select or make recommendations for garden art, containers, furniture, fixtures and other accessories. It’s our pleasure to help you accessorize the garden to make it uniquely yours.
Please stroll through our gallery of some of our “Under Construction” projects. In these before and after photos, you’ll see the amazing possibilities, and a variety of gardens we’ve had the pleasure of designing, building and maintaining.
