Our Process

  • One of our talented designers will meet with you on-site to discuss the scope, scale, and complexity of your unique project. During this meeting, we document existing site conditions to get an understanding of the architecture of your home and design style. We address your project budget to ensure that we propose an appropriate design solution that is responsive to your fiscal parameters as well as your aesthetic and functional needs and provide you with a customized design fee proposal.

  • In the second meeting, your CWL Designer will present an initial conceptual landscape plan showing the existing site layout with proposed improvements. Recommended plant and hardscape palette's to communicate design intent are included. Design Renderings, which may take the form of 3D modeling, 2D rendered perspectives, or image boards, can be provided for elaborated views of the proposed design solution.

  • As confirmation of the final design scope, your CWL Designer will provide developed landscape plan based on the feedback you provided in response to our initial design presentation, as well as an official construction proposal, detailed for the construction of the proposed landscape design, and a contract with all terms and conditions.

  • Upon acceptance of the contract, your CWL Designer will coordinate with our production team to plan and execute the design. You will be assigned a Project Manager, who will be available to answer any construction-related questions you may have, conduct a pre-construction meeting to review the plans and discuss any site-specific needs or challenges associated with your property. During the construction phase, your project manager will keep you updated with progress.

  • Upon completion, we will also be sure to connect you with one of our Account Managers who can provide you with a proposal for Long-term Care and Maintenance to make sure your new landscape continues to thrive for years to come. Now the fun part…whether lighting up the BBQ grill in your new outdoor kitchen, enjoying a quiet moment next to your new fire pit, relaxing under your custom pergola, or playing with your kids in the new backyard, we know you’ll LOVE your new custom landscape.
