Helpful answers.
The questions we hear most often from new clients about process, pricing and materials.
Use the brief on this page, or call 502.741.8670. We'll reach out to set up the first walkthrough.
We get to know your vision, talk through how you use the space, and offer recommendations on design direction, materials and timeline - all tailored to your goals and budget.
Start dates depend on scope and current availability. We typically add projects to the schedule within two weeks of a signed agreement.
Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your project. Tailored solutions start around $10,000 for focused enhancements and scale to $75,000+ for medium projects and $100,000+ for large, fully custom landscapes.
Our process runs in two phases. The Design Phase begins after the initial consultation under a formal design agreement - typically $1,400 to $8,000+ depending on scope. The Installation Phase follows with a detailed proposal and contract once the design is approved.
Most projects start at $10,000, but we're always happy to hear your vision. In some cases we can suggest phased solutions or enhancements that fit a smaller budget.
