Landscaping, like any trade involves a high degree of accuracy and can be a disturbing process to live through. A landscape plan will help you take the uncertainty out of the process and streamline the building of a landscape installation. It also cuts down on mistakes due to estimation or communication, which are costly and time consuming.

- A site visit: We come out and measure key points on your property like trees, fences, and doorways, ensuring accuracy in the drafting process
- An email chain: We require a RPR (builders lot plan) from you and we appreciate some inspiration in the form of images from you. We take the notes and email you back drafts until we have the plan you want to go with.
- The final document is drafted, including product lists and local suppliers.

A landscape plan is a drawing created off your real property report that takes into consideration site conditions from a site visit, like sun and wind exposure, existing trees and neighboring buildings. The drawings place the elements required for installation of your landscape on a page like a map to help visualization of the finished project. It can be as simple as a sketch, or as complex as a multi page document to be used by many sets of contractors to bring the project to life with accuracy.
