Landscape Design (Landscape Design including Sensory Garden Design)
1. Contact to identify involvement required (project scope)
2. Design Brief Meeting
The Design Brief gathers information and identifies the involvement, wants and needs, site, geography, soil and weather conditions, sustainability aspects and budget.
We also ascertain the level of involvement and commitment by teachers, Garden Coordinator/groundskeeper, volunteers, etc.

3. Site Survey
On acceptance of the Design Contract, accurate measurements and other information are gathered to create the Site Analysis. If the site is large and complex, a professional site surveyor and/or structural engineer may need to be engaged at an additional cost. The Site Survey, Site Analysis, Proposal Document and Design Brief are evaluated and a draft concept design is created. This design is tailored to your individual needs, wants and the site elements.

An initial draft concept design is completed within 4 weeks of the Site Survey and presented. This plan illustrates the proposed garden but excludes planting details, complex drawings or construction particulars.

If changes are necessary, creative and effective solutions are found, changes are made as the plan is refined and a second Concept Plan is presented.
