LANDSCAPE CONSULTATION
A Good Starting Point for First-Timers or for Planning Next Steps in an Existing Garden:
Our landscape consultation starts at your home where one of our designers will be able to meet with you and discuss options and opportunities at the site. This is often the best option for the following:
EXISTING GARDENS THAT ARE BEING
EXPANDED, UPGRADED, OR ALTERED.
- We can identify plants and possible plant care concerns.
- We can recommend what should be kept, and what can be added to complement or accent your existing landscape
BRAND NEW GARDENS THAT
NEED AN INITIAL LAYOUT
- We are able to assist you in setting the tone of the garden and highlight which trees and “structures” would best suit your environment
- We can identify privacy and environmental concerns and how to best address them
- We can suggest which plants would be suitable now and into the future for your garden to thrive!
In the end, you will have the confidence and peace of mind that your garden will not only look good and satisfy your taste, but will also address other important factors so that you do not run into problems in the future. This consultation starts at a fee of $100.00 and is fully refunded as a deposit on projects exceeding $1,500. Ask in-store for further details.
FULL LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Best for the Do-It-Yourselfer or for Complete Projects:
A full landscape design is a comprehensive process that involves many steps which ultimately results in a full, to-scale drawing that you can use towards the creation of your dream garden. Whether you are a Do-It-Yourselfer who is looking for specific, detailed instruction, or someone who is looking for a comprehensive plan to coordinate a complete overhaul of your landscape, a full professional landscape design may be your best option.
This process includes:
1. INITIAL SITE MEETING
Measure existing gardens, gather information on tastes and desires, layout of basic concept.
2. MEETING AT VAN DONGEN’S FOR FIRST REVIEW
Here we will have a first draft design printed of your project, show you possible plant materials, discuss possible substitutions and create a list of modifications based on your preferences.
3. FINAL PRESENTATION
2 copies of your final design (to-scale; computer-generated), full list of plant materials, quote on phases of project.
4. OPTIONAL ITEMS
Colour design, 3D rendering of design.
This service starts at $400.00 for front or back yard design, or $800 for the full property (based on a 50′ x 120′ property). The design fee can be rebated to clients via a 10% discount on product and services at Van Dongen’s.
