CHOOSE YOUR DESIGN PACKAGE
What You Can Expect
Step 1: Initial Conversation
You'll begin by speaking with one of our Creative team members, who will get to know you a little bit by understanding your project, vision, timeline, and anticipated budget. They will then engage our design team and match you with a designer for the planning phase of your project.
Step 2: Site Visit
When we come for a site visit, we will take on-the-ground photos of your property and aerial drone photos where applicable. Your designer will scope out the site and take notes of anything they need to consider during the design and build phases of your project.
Step 3: Design Process & Reviews
Your designer begins working on your landscape design, collaborating with you throughout the process. Design reviews can take place in person here at our design center or over video. Keep in mind that depending on the complexity of your project and the type of design package you purchased, A completed design can take between one week and three months from start to finish.
Step 4: Final Project Scope & Proposal
Once your final design is approved, the Creative team will lay out the project into work areas, along with installation costs. You always have the flexibility to choose what you would like to have installed, or to "phase in" projects over time.
Step 5: Construction Scheduling & Installation
With your final approval, along with a deposit, your spot is placed in the schedule, allowing our team to order materials in advance, optimizing time and cost.
Step 6: After Construction and Ongoing Support
Once your installation is complete, we will complete a final walkthrough of your project with you. We will also make sure you have the opportunity to partner with Creative for any type of ongoing maintenance services you may need to keep your landscape looking its best year-round.

"We are so pleased with the outcome of the design. All of the plants and trees are so beautiful. We have much more privacy already and a little oasis of our own in our side yard now."
