Our program helps you plan and
purchase for small landscape projects,
(ie., front entry, patio landscape,
utility shed screening). These projects
are sketched by one of our professional
designers and installed by you! The
sketch is provided along with acomplete
list of needed materials. The service
is extremely affordable, and you'll
find that the money you save by purchasing
the right plants in the proper amounts
more than covers the $75 design fee.
|
Make a sketch appointment by calling
or coming in to the garden center. The
appointments are scheduled for the beginning
of the hour and last about 45 minutes..
|
The usefulness of the
sketch is based on theaccuracy of information
you provide our designer. Taking accurate
measurements can’t be overstated.
Begin at one side of the house recording
the distance to the first window or
door opening. Then, measure the opening
and not the window glass or door itself.
Continue on this fashion across
the building and around the perimeter
of the area until the entire project
area is included.
|
All utilities that are located within
the project area: gas lines and meters,
electric lines and meters, cable tv
and telephone lines. All household
mechanical features located in the
project area; air conditioning units,
downspouts, dryer vents and water
faucets.
|
Make note of driveway and walk if they
are in the project area. Locate all
existing plants in the project area
that are to stay. Note the direction
that water drains and any slopes or
terraces. Indicate which direction
is north (very important) and any
items on neighboring property that
have impact on the project, like gences,
walls, or large overhanging trees.
|
Bring current photos that show the project
area. Assitional photos that show
adjacent areas and one or two that
show neighboring properties may be
helpful too. Include photos of areas
you may wish to screen.
