DESIGN CENTER
The Process of Making Dreams a Reality
CONSULTATION
Step 1: Schedule An Appointment With Our Landscape/Hardscape Design Consultant & Dream Big!
This is how the process begins...we create a complete property landscape/hardscape design and plan to capture the collaborative ideas of you as the homeowner and our designer. This includes a thorough property inspection and evaluation along with a customer consultation that usually last about an hour. After the consultation we get back to our design center to get to work for you! Within 7-10 days your design is complete and will be sent to you for your review. All designs will be presented as a CAD drawing with included 3D digital renderings, property lines, dimensions, and all the necessary information to propose and execute the installation of the project.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Step 2: Developing Budget, Scope Of Work,
& Material Selection
After you receive your design, we have a conversation about either completing construction in a single or multiple-phase approach. This is probably one of the toughest parts of the process because it's so much fun to dream big, but the reality is that our dreams need to be aligned with the budget that we have to work with.
Once a budget is established then we will put together a plan for our scope of work, timeline, payment schedule, submitting plans to your township for permit approval, and your grading & drainage plan.
Next is the fun part...material selection! So what products have you been so excited to use and what is your personal style? Do you have an eye for a more modern look? If that's the case then maybe we use a large smooth slab paver with a charcoal brick inset border to accentuate all of the clean lines. Or maybe you're more traditional and you prefer a 3 piece slate top paver that resembles a natural stone look.
Whatever the case, we here at Terrain Design Group have got you covered!
DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION
Step 3: Installation
Now, at last, it's time for the installation to begin! We start with a preconstruction walkthrough, where we spray out our excavation site, ensuring that our design, measurements, and pitch are all aligned with our landscape plan.
Our team will now follow through with excavation, subgrade compaction, geotextile installation, aggregate base installation, and final compaction. We then apply and screed bedding sand, and follow through with all of the details of paver installation, segmental retaining wall construction, and the installation of any special fire or water features that were selected during the design process.
We will finish off your newly installed hardscape with fresh new landscapes, filled with lush plantings, and we will finish off this beautiful package with new landscape lighting to make your new outdoor living space come to life at night!
This is what we do...we live to create outdoor living spaces! From concept through creation our design team will walk you through the installation process step by step, not leaving any details behind.
