The Complete Design Process
The design process begins with one-on-one conversations between
you and the designer, Gail Fanning. Together we will determine how
you want to use your outdoor space, who will use it, and what
style of garden you desire. With this basic information to guide me,
I will develop two preliminary design plans for your consideration.
At our second meeting I will show you color drawings of your yard
as it might look with the new designs in place, and pictures of all
the plants which may be included in your garden.
Consulting together, we will come to an agreement on all the plants
and hardscapes (paths, patios, decks, etc) to be used in your garden.
I will then draw up your final plan with all the details necessary for successful
installation of your garden: plant lists, hardscape details, irrigation,
grading, and lighting plans are all included!
A complete design for the average back yard requires about 30 hours
of work,
and generally is completed in 6-8 weeks.
