C package

This package basically combines the A and B packages. There are some illustrated design options, based on ideas discussed at our consult. There is a meeting (not included in the B package) where we present and discuss the concepts. There is a brainstorming meeting to present the concept, after which it is revised per your comments. This revised plan is the basis for a set of construction drawings as in the B package.

Step 1: verbal or sketch

We meet with you on site before starting the design options so that we can learn more about how you live, your style and how you wish to use your outdoor spaces. If desired, this meeting may be included in the package price.

Step 2: site measurements or

This package, unlike sketch consults, uses a scaled plan. If your site is mostly flat, we will include site measurement for design purposes in this package. If it is large or hilly, we'll need a professional survey showing the sites features and topography.

We also take photos for reference.

Step 3: present the concepts

Package C typically includes several concepts. These drawings are presented at a meeting where we go over the benefits and reasoning behind the different ideas. You keep the drawings and call us when you've decided which concept (or combination) you prefer.

Step 4: validate the concept

When the concept is ready, we meet with you to make any changes you may wish. At the meeting, we'll trace out the final design. This is the only point where changes are included in this package.

Step 5: create construction drawings

These are detailed, scaled drawings that will be used to build the project. They can be put out to bid with several contractors, or you can install part or all of the design yourself.

These plans include schematic drainage, construction layout listing materials and dimensions, planting, lighting and construction details.

The number of pages in the plan set varies according to how large and complex the project is.

The lighting is shown on the above detail and is specified on the lighting plan. Two colors of stucco, specified on the construction sheet, make the house and walls more interesting.
