THE PROCESS:

The design process begins with the initial consultation. The landscape design professional from American Beauty Landscape Design meets with you, the client, to listen and better understand your vision, expectations and needs and works as a consultant to help you discover available options and possibilities.

The landscape designer will walk your site and locate existing assets on the property as well as any potential liabilities or problem areas that need to be addressed. This is followed by a review of the American Beauty Landscape Design portfolio of completed projects for ideas, solutions for problem areas and examples of the quality work and craftsmanship.

American Beauty Landscape Design will complete a site analysis, which locates existing structures and other elements from our site visit on paper. A copy of your plot plan will be requested and in some cases ask that your surveying company install permanent markers on your property insuring the exact location of property lines.

From the site analysis and your plot plan, a MASTER landscape PLAN and three dimensional sketches will be created.

The landscape designer will meet with you at the site with the landscape plan and material samples. The full details of the plan will be reviewed along with material options. Revisions are made at that time and a final plan will be agreed upon.

Your agreement will be written with exact material choices, installation specifications, order of operations and an installation time line and payment schedule.

SINGLE ELEMENT PLANS

Single element plans may be used when a project does not require a master plan. Full attention to detail and fact finding remains the same no matter the size of the project.

Three dimensional sketches are used to illustrate the concept and then the designer lays out the locations on the ground so you can see the size of your patio or where the plants will be located.

Once finalized, you will receive your project agreement listing the exact material choices installation specifications, order of operations, installation time line and payment schedules.
