BOOKING A LANDSCAPE DESIGN CONSULTATION
The first step to moving forward with your construction project involves an initial consultation. During the consultation, one of our landscaping professionals will meet at your property, listen to what you envision that your property will look like after our team works our magic, and take appropriate measurements of your property so that we can provide you with an accurate estimate for your landscaping project.
During the consultation, one of our team members will provide suggestions for products that could be incorporated into your project, design ideas, and our landscape consultant will also be able to provide you with an idea of approximately how much you should expect to budget for your next landscaping project based on your requests.
To get the most out of your landscaping consultation, we would suggest considering the following prior to arranging a landscaping consultation:
