Hourly consultations are the perfect solution for many landscape design and construction related issues.

Call for a consultation when…

• You’re not sure where to start on your do-it-yourself landscape project.
• You’re “just looking for some ideas.”
• “I’ve already talked to several landscapers for design ideas…but now I’m confused.”
• You’re planning to build your dream home and you’d like to protect and save important trees on the lot.
• You’re planning to build your dream home and you’d like to evaluate the land for where the house should be located (where the engineer did the percolation test shouldn’t necessarily determine the location of your home).
• You’re building your new home and you have some site design issues you’d like professional advice about such as driveway layout, site drainage, grading, retaining walls, etc.  Remember, home builders know how to build homes.  Exterior landscape issues are not a builder’s strong point.
• You’re wondering what trees and shrubs are on your property.  Picture that it’s winter…before you use the chain saw, wouldn’t you like to know if you’re about to cut down a beautiful thicket of native flowering dogwood that happens to be growing on your land?
• Your business needs to improve its curb appeal and you are looking for some idea where to begin.

I can provide professional advice for all of these situations and more…

Don’t delay…Call for an appointment today!

Photo Imaging Service

Introducing the latest technology for landscape design, Photo Imaging. Before you invest your time, money and energy into your landscaping project, you should consider using photo imaging. Guessing what your landscape improvements will look like isn’t good enough.  Photo imaging can help; it’s amazing!

Benefits

Service Description

First, the software does not create designs.  The image can be based on your design ideas, or you can engage my services for on-site design consultation (hourly fee).  I can also provide simple, scaled, plan sketches or color plan view renderings.
The service includes photography, discussion of your design ideas, initial photo imaging, any required changes to the image after your review, and two final prints of the image. 

Pricing

Photo Imaging pricing is dependent on the location, the number of images and complexity of the final image; but generally starts at $250 for a moderate scale residential project.  Photo imaging services are billed at my current hourly rate plus expenses (film & developing) and mileage.  Design fees are additional.
