Landscape Design Process in Colorado Springs
1
Get In Touch
Contact us by calling our front office or filling out our online contact form. We’ll contact you within 24 hours.
2
Chat on the Phone
We’ll discuss a general outline of your landscaping and construction project. We’ll schedule an on-site consultation based on your availability between 7 am and 5:30 pm on workdays.
3
Discuss In-Person
We’ll arrive at your property to discuss your landscaping and outdoor living space ideas in detail. You can share any inspirational pictures, and we’ll provide examples of past projects through our Shutterfly design book. Our team will complete a site analysis to note your property’s drainage needs, dimensions, circulation patterns, sun azimuths, and more.

See the Preliminary Design
Based on the details of the on-site visit, our team will create a preliminary design of your new landscape with plant and material options for hardscaping, outdoor living space construction, and landscaping. This design plan will also include a cost estimate.
5
Finalize the Design & Agreement
The final design plan will be submitted to you via email, including the final cost laid out in detail, a comprehensive design, and a contractual agreement covering the entirety of the build and installation project. At this stage, we also collect design fees (which are refunded if you choose our team to handle the project) and a 10% deposit to finalize scheduling.
6
Your Landscape Comes to Life
Our team will break ground on your new landscape and begin installing drainage, plantings, hardscaping, and more. This stage starts with a pre-construction meeting to locate utilities, inform neighbors about construction, discuss the project details, and more. We will collect a percentage of the job cost at the beginning of the project, midway through construction and upon completion. Your project manager will also keep you apprised of developments and progress throughout the project.
7
Project Completion
Once installation is complete, your project manager will conduct a final walk-through with you, finalize any finishing details and touch-ups, and collect the final payment.
8
On-Going Maintenance
Before we leave, our team will walk you through maintenance and operation for your water features and irrigation. We provide the following warranties:
- 2-year warranties on irrigation systems
- 1-year warranties on plantings that we install and irrigate
- 5-year warranties on hardscapes
