The
Design Process described here
is based on Fully Detailed, Personalized
Design Plan Contracts Only. For
Pre-Designed Plans please call
our office to discuss if Pre-Designed
Plans are suitable for your design
requirements-See Pre-Designed
Plans.
Step
1… All survey
details provided by the
client are entered into
a personal file and a drawing
is taken on site where information
is carefully gathered and
recorded including elevations;
all pertinent measurements
and any existing elements.
Step
2… Back at
the office, the information
is evaluated and input begins.
All recorded measure-ments
are now added to the initial
layout along with notes
detailing all elevations;
existing soft and hard materials
that will stay within the
design.
Step
3… Our LWS designer
meets the client at their
site to discuss their
property layout; wishes;
needs; preference to style
of landscaping; materials
and the initial plant
selection. Elevations;
grades; colours; form
are detailed during this
time.
Step
4… At the office our
team reviews the information
and details of the initial
layout. Structures, surfaces
and garden lines are drawn
to appropriate scale. At
this time the initial planting
plan begins and the preliminary
design is developed.
Step
5… The scaled
preliminary ‘hard
surface and garden line
design’ exclusive
of the planting plan is
now forwarded to the client
by fax for review and approval.
At this time the client
indicates any required element
adjustments and returns
the plan.
Step
6… Upon completion
of changes the client visits
the LWS office to review
the final preliminary plan.
At that time revisions are
made if necessary to complete
the final plan. Discussions
regarding installation requirements
are welcome at that time.
Step
7… The final
revisions & labeling
are completed at the LWS
office. Elevation details
are added to assist the
client. The final design
plan is then plotted for
review. A hand coloured
copy can be provided to
the client at an additional
service fee.
Step
8… The client
returns to the LWS office
to discuss & collect
the completed B&W design
plan. (Based on the individual
contract, the plan may be
delivered to the client)
Additional questions by
clients are welcomed at
that time regarding the
final plan.
Also
Available
Landscaping & Design Consultation

or for those requiring general information
on property maintenance; garden revisions
or less detailed design requirements. Consultation
services may be provided through written notations
or a simplified hand sketch.

for all landscape planning needs or requests. Call our
office to discuss with our designer. Once we establish
