A residential landscaping project doesn't have to be overwhelming. Whether you're revamping an existing yard, or landscaping for new construction, this overview will help you know what to expect. The process of landscaping your yard can be broken down into two phases: design and construction.
The designing phase consists of research, idea gathering, and planning. During this phase you, the homeowner, will work closely with a landscape designer or architect that specializes in residential design. Together you will address design considerations such as the desired purpose for your yard, what features will be included and what landscaping style will be employed.
Designing Your Landscape
1. Get ideas for purpose, desired features and style (internet, books, magazines)
2. Complete a design questionnaire
3. Set a budget
4. Meet with possible designers/contractors
5. Choose a pro
6. Planning meeting and site evaluation
7. Plan review meeting
8. Final plan approval
The construction phase consists of the actual building process. Sometimes, one contractor will complete all of the construction, other times multiple companies will be involved. During this phase the designer and contractor will work closely together to bring to life the design plan created in the previous phase.
