From elegant estates on Lookout Mountain to elegant homes in the Chattanooga Valley, we understand the unique character and challenges of our four season region. We believe that a truly exceptional landscape is a seamless extension of your home, a carefully crafted environment that enhances your lifestyle and provides a sanctuary for relaxation and enjoyment. Our custom landscape design services are tailored to your specific needs, whether you desire to have a romantic English cottage garden, a formal, structured landscape, or a sustainable, native woodland retreat.
Our custom landscape design process is a collaborative journey that begins with a deep understanding of your vision, lifestyle, and the unique characteristics of your property. We believe that the most successful landscapes are born from a partnership between the designer and the homeowner, and we are committed to working closely with you every step of the way. Our four-step process constist of:
1. Initial Consultation & Site Analysis:
We begin with an in-depth consultation to discuss your goals, preferences, and budget. We then conduct a thorough site analysis, evaluating your property’s topography, soil conditions, sun exposure, and existing architecture. This allows us to identify both the opportunities and challenges of your site and develop a design that is both beautiful and sustainable.
2. Conceptual Design & Vision Board:
Based on our initial consultation and site analysis, we develop a conceptual design that captures the overall vision for your landscape. We create a vision board with inspirational images, plant palettes, and material samples to help you visualize the final result. This is a collaborative phase where we welcome your feedback and make revisions to ensure the design aligns with your expectations.
3. Detailed Landscape Plan:
Once the conceptual design is approved, we create a detailed landscape plan that includes precise measurements, plant selections, hardscape specifications, and lighting design. This comprehensive plan serves as a roadmap for the installation process, ensuring that every detail is executed to perfection.
4. Expert Installation & Project Management:
Our team of experienced landscape professionals brings your design to life with meticulous attention to detail. We handle all aspects of the installation process, from site preparation and grading to planting, hardscaping, and lighting. We also provide ongoing project management to ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.
