We will meet with you at the site to assess your situation and will then provide a detailed proposal based on your specific needs, with an agreed-upon fee for the services in the proposal before we begin the work.

After we have worked closely with you to refine and finish the detailed design work, you will have a complete set of construction plans showing plants, beds, patios, irrigation, etc. with all of the materials and colors selected, and with a cost estimate for construction. You will be able to get a solid bid to install from contractors with these drawings. We also have several contractors that we can refer you to that we have worked successfully with.

• Obtaining competitive or non-competitive bids from contractors and assisting the homeowner in the selection of contractors.
• Frequently visiting the site to assist the contractor throughout the installation, working with the contractor to resolve any issues in executing the design and monitoring the contractor's work for quality.
• Visiting nurseries and landscape materials suppliers to hand pick plants and materials.
• Assisting in reviewing the construction paperwork and representing the homeowner's interests in dealing with the contractor.
• Developing a schedule with the homeowner and working with the contractor to meet the schedule.
• Preparing field reports documenting the progress of the installation that can be distributed via email to the homeowner and contractors.
• Performing a final walk-through and preparing "punch-lists" to address any outstanding items and to make sure that the contractor has finished the project to the homeowner's complete satisfaction.
• Performing a follow-up inspection at the end of the contractor's warranty period, and coordinating any plant replacements or warranty work that may be required.
