1-2-3 Design Process The Design process starts with a meeting on site with the Client. At this time, the Designer or Salesperson will discuss with the client, what they are trying to achieve and their budget. Once the ideas are exchanged, it's time for step II. We must first analyze and measure the site. We are looking at wind direction, lighting, views, drainage, grades and soil conditions. Once compiled, this information is turned into a scaled working landscape design. The final step is to meet with the Client and present to them their landscape design and a proposal, which reflects all the project costs. With the approval of the plan and price, all that is left to do is schedule and begin work.
