Garden Design

FREE DESIGN. There is no such thing as free design.

A poorly thought out design implemented is incredibly expensive. You will be paying for the design either because it isn’t insightful and requires short and long term modifications or the company is rolling the cost into the installation.

Spending ten to twenty percent of your budget to study and scrutinize the concepts prior to executing them is money very well spent.

My design service includes whatever is needed to help you understand the vision. I utilize photoshop, free hand, 3d modeling and more to help both of us flush out ideas and refine a clear picture of what is and is not wanted. Ideally, the process also involves a lot of shared drinks, food and design study sessions together.
