Stage Two

Once initial site-data, elevation measurements, drainage requirements and goals are recorded the designer will meet with all individuals who will be included in the project. Based on the requirements of the project the following individuals may be present: Project manager, engineer, landscape architect, permit/variance expeditor, mason, carpenter, irrigation designer, lighting designer, horticulturist and arborist.

After this meeting, the designer will prepare the initial lay-out of the property. This draft will include all existing structures and elements, which will remain on the property.

The draft will also include all proposed hardscape elements and all proposed planting areas and lawn areas. At this point, the design will not include plant material or specific choices for hardscape material.
