Landscaping
We strive to make it as simple as possible for you:
- Schedule a landscape consultation meeting, 60-90 minutes (cost applies).
- After that initial meeting, we will email a quote for the landscape drawing outlining the general scope of the job and the cost for the drawing.
- Once you approve the quote for the landscape drawing and provide the deposit, we will start to work on your project and put together the plant list with plant names, varieties, and groupings.
- From this list, we create the drawing as a visual for plant and hardscaping placement.
- Once the landscape drawing is completed, we will send the invoice with the balance for the drawing.
- After the invoice for the drawing is paid, we will send the plant list, the drawing, and the installation quote via email.
- Based on your feedback, we will make changes to the plan (one change to design is included) and provide an updated quote as needed.
- If you request a meeting to go over any changes, we can schedule it as necessary.
- Once the installation quote, drawing, and plant list are approved and the deposit is provided, the job is scheduled.
- Any upfront costs that you've invested (initial consultation meeting, landscape drawing etc.), will be outlined on the installation quote and credited on the final installation invoice once the job is completed.
- After the installation is completed, we offer a walkthrough to answer any questions about the plants and talk about maintenance and ongoing care.

Maintenance
If a patio and/or walkway is constructed properly with polymeric sand, most patios will get 5-7 years of "weed-free" or "limited weeds". After weeds begin to develop, it is a very easy process to re-sand the patio for weed suppression. We, along with most maintenance companies, offer sanding services.
Invoicing
To have the grass cutting service started, we require a deposit totaling the cost of one visit. Invoicing for ongoing grass cutting is at the end of each month, with the balance due on receipt.
For other services such as fertilizing, weeding, yard clean up, mulching, planting, and other services, we ask for a deposit of 33 percent. Once these services are complete, we will send an invoice for the balance that is due on receipt.
