Frequently Asked Questions
| |
1. How
do I start the landscaping process? |
| |
The first step in landscaping your home is to schedule an
on-site consultation with one of our landscape designers.
The on-site consultation between the landscape designer
and homeowner serves as the foundation for developing a
landscape plan that meets the needs of the client. Through
the on-site consultation process the landscape designer
will learn of the landscape goals of the client including
any tree, shrub and perennial preferences as well as favorite
color combinations and the budget (if known). The landscape
designer will also answer any questions the client may
have concerning landscaping and business practices.
If the client decides to proceed with a landscape design
and proposal, the landscape designer will measure and
photograph the client's property, and begin the design process. |
| |
2. What
information should I provide at the on-site consultation? |
| |
The client may wish to provide a general idea of
what they want to accomplish with landscaping and a list
of any specific trees, shrub or perennials that they would
like to be included in their new landscape. |
| |
3. What happens after the
on-site consultation? |
| |
Your landscape designer will prepare a landscape design and
proposal using the information gathered during the on-site
consultation. Landscape designs are generally completed
within two to three weeks after the on-site consultation.
When your landscape design is complete, your designer will
schedule a time convenient to you for review of the landscape
design and the proposal to complete your landscape project. |

4. Is there a fee for the
landscape design? |

The landscape design remains the property of Red Oak Landscaping
until the client accepts the landscape proposal or purchases
the design. Landscape design fees will depend on the time
required to prepare the design; however most design fees
will range between $350 to $600.
