THE PROCESS
At the heart of Gretchen’s philosophy is a commitment to organic and sustainable design practices. By incorporating native plants, eco-friendly materials, and regenerative landscaping techniques, She crafts outdoor environments that thrive naturally while minimizing environmental impact. Her work seamlessly blends artistry with ecology, transforming landscapes into living works of art that endure for generations.
THERE ARE FOUR KEY STAGES TO EACH PROJECT
Concept
We begin by assessing the location, discussing the vision, and setting a budget. The Concept Packet provides clear direction, offering visual inspiration, a cost estimate for the Design Phase, Project Management fees, and a timeline for each phase of the project.
Design
The Design Phase marks the start of the project. During this phase, we develop a layout that accurately reflects the overall design vision. The Design Packet is presented in a contractor-ready format, allowing for precise bids for the construction phase. Once we receive the bids, we select the best Landscape Contractor for the job.
Create
During the Create Phase, the project begins to take shape through construction and installation. This phase includes site preparation, infrastructure development, plant and material procurement, construction, soil enhancement, planting, irrigation system installation, and lighting. Every element is carefully layered in, step by step, to bring the design to life.
Growth
Once installation is complete, garden maintenance begins. The first season and the first year of plant growth are the most delicate as the plants establish themselves. It’s essential for the maintenance team to follow a consistent schedule tailored to the seasonal needs of the plants.
Initially, we’ll follow up with several weekly site visits just after project completion to ensure everything is in place and the maintenance team is on track. Afterward, seasonal follow-ups will be scheduled as needed to address any areas requiring additional attention or support.
