At the outset of your project, we offer an Initial Design Consultation where our landscape designer will connect with you over the phone or meet with you at your property. During this session, we will have our first conversations with you about the project scope, including the location, size, initial design concepts, desired uses, preferred materials, budget, and timeline.
Our Landscape Designer will actively listen to your ideas, ask pertinent questions, and provide expert guidance to help you achieve your vision for your outdoor space. By the end of the Initial Design Consultation, we will have a clear understanding of your needs and preferences, allowing us to move forward with the design process.
We value open communication and collaboration with our clients, and we believe that the Initial Design Consultation is a critical first step in establishing a strong working relationship. Whether you have a fully-formed idea or are just starting to explore your options, we are here to help you bring your dream outdoor space to life.
Our landscape designer will conduct a thorough Site Analysis to assess the location and identify key factors that may impact the project. This typically involves conducting a site inventory and analysis using a survey plan (which may be provided by you or a professional surveyor). If a current survey is not available, we will need to complete one before proceeding with the next phase of the design, depending on the size of the landscape and the overall project scope.
During the Site Analysis, we will locate site features, assess the terrain, and evaluate the current uses and environmental factors such as site orientation, sun, shade, noise, wind, water, and soil. We will also examine existing buildings or structures and review any plants that are to be retained. To gain a better understanding of the surrounding area, our Landscape Designer will walk around the neighborhood to observe the local architecture, vegetation, culture, and uses.
For smaller projects that do not require a survey, our Landscape Designer will visit the site to take necessary measurements and elevations. We will also capture site photos and discuss the project scope with the client during the final overview.
By conducting a comprehensive Site Analysis, we can ensure that our landscape design takes into account all relevant site factors, resulting in a beautiful and functional outdoor space that meets your unique needs and preferences.
The Base Plan phase involves creating a detailed plan of the existing site layout, which will serve as the foundation for the design process. Our Landscape Designer will use a variety of resources to develop this plan, depending on the size and scope of the project.
If a Site Survey has been completed, we will use this document as the basis for the Base Plan. Alternatively, if architectural drawings have been prepared for a new or renovation project, we will incorporate these into the plan. For smaller projects, we may rely on on-site measurements to develop the Base Plan.
The Base Plan will include a precise layout of the site, including structures, boundaries, existing vegetation, and any other relevant features. This plan will provide a clear understanding of the site's size and dimensions and will be used as a reference point for the design phase.
By creating a comprehensive Base Plan, we can ensure that the subsequent design work is accurate and tailored to the unique features and characteristics of the site. This allows us to create a stunning and functional outdoor space that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.
At the initial concept design stage, our landscape designer uses our Landscape Design Software to develop the initial ideas for the project. Depending on the size and scope of the project, we may involve a Landscape Architect, Geotechnical or Structural Engineer. Our main objective during the Concept Plan stage is to develop a clear understanding of the client's ideas for the proposed area of work and overall aesthetic. We prepare a few landscape design ideas and move onto the final version after client communication and reviews.
The Concept Plan includes land use, access and topographical notes, project images, renders (perspective, aerial, etc.), typical material palettes, and other details depending on the client's requirements. Our Landscape Designer may also provide documents required by the government for permit approval during the Concept development.
During the Final stage, the initial concept is further developed to ensure it is achievable and meets the client's needs. Our Landscape Designer determines if there are any major issues (topographic, access, services, drainage, budget) and reviews with Engineers if needed. This stage includes color plans, sections, material palettes with notation about materials, colors, heights, and more.
Clients should understand that the initial concept plan is just a concept and that further detailed design is required to resolve the initial concept and ensure its viability. Depending on the design scope and needs, this phase may include highly detailed documents ready for landscape construction companies and/or quantity surveyors to provide an initial pricing on the project.
Overall, our landscape design planning process is highly individualized to each property, and we strive to provide the client with a clear understanding of the overall landscape design at every stage.
The Construction Drawings phase is a critical stage of the design process that involves creating detailed design documents for the construction of the outdoor space. These documents include a range of technical specifications, site plans, schedules, and construction details that will guide landscape suppliers or vendors during the construction process.
Our Landscape Designer will work closely with other consultants or engineers to ensure that all design elements are carefully coordinated and integrated to minimize the possibility of construction issues. This can involve resolving overlapping design elements from various disciplines, such as architecture, landscape, lighting, engineering, and more.
The Construction Drawings will include a comprehensive set of specifications and quantities that vendors or suppliers can use to price the project accurately. This phase is critical in ensuring that the project stays within budget and is completed on time, as the Construction Drawings provide clear guidance to all stakeholders involved in the project.
At Master Landscape Company, we take pride in our attention to detail and our commitment to delivering exceptional results. The Construction Drawings phase is a key component of our comprehensive landscape design process, and we are dedicated to ensuring that every project we undertake is completed to the highest standards of quality and professionalism.
The Planting Plan is an essential part of the landscape design process where our Landscape Designer develops the planting scheme or layout, including a detailed planting list with sizes and quantities. We understand that every client has unique preferences, whether it's a full vegetable garden in the front yard or a peaceful flower garden in the backyard. We integrate the perfect plants for your landscape design to create a beautiful and functional outdoor space.
In addition to the planting list, we may also provide a catalogue of pictures outlining the feature elements or all plants included for your gardens. This helps our clients visualize the final product and ensure that the planting plan meets their expectations. Our goal is to create a harmonious balance between the softscape (plants) and hardscape (structures) elements of your landscape design.
At this stage, our Landscape Designer also takes into account the local climate, soil conditions, and other environmental factors to ensure the plants thrive in their new environment. We provide expert advice on maintenance and care to ensure your new garden remains vibrant and healthy for years to come.

Our experienced Landscape Designer will work with you to design a custom lighting plan that accentuates the beauty of your outdoor space and enhances its functionality.
In addition to the layout plan, we also include pictures of the lighting fixtures to be installed. This helps our clients visualize the final product and make informed decisions about the type and style of lighting that best suits their needs. Outdoor lighting is perfect for entertaining in your garden and creates an inviting ambiance for your guests.
If you're looking to really enhance your home's curb appeal, we also suggest considering planning a fire pit or water feature. These elements add an exciting and unique touch to your landscape design, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that can be enjoyed year-round. Our Landscape Designer will work with you to create a custom plan that seamlessly integrates these features into your overall landscape design.
At this stage, our Landscape Designer also takes into account the local climate, the position of the sun, and other environmental factors to ensure that the lighting plan is functional and energy-efficient.
