Testimonial
    "Michael was just great to work with. He not only came up with great plans for both our front and back yards but he went the extra mile by personally coming by on many occasions to see how the hardscape company was doing and making great suggestions along the way. His plans were detailed and professional. Tons of bang for the buck. We never expected the level of involvement that Michael had in all our landscaping. He has a great eye, great people skills and was so much fun to work with. We'd definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to add curb appeal to their home."

Testimonial 

    "Michael has a creative and artful outlook. The approach with us was relaxed and personal with resources that in the end saved us money and ultimately paid for the design cost. He made us feel that what we wanted was important and addressed each issue with clarity. He actually said to my husband and me, “I am here to be neutral - I want to put the pros and cons on the table so you can make clear knowledgeable decisions”. We could tell right away we were going to have the type of communication we demand for our money. Creativity was expanded to the inside, which was just what we needed. Thought was given to the whole big picture."

Concept/Schematic Design - Scroll down for digital imaging
 
This service is stand alone or a great beginning to a thoughtful complete well put together Landscape Plan.  For the client that will be selecting the full set of working drawings, the Schematic Design is the most logical first step to a Master Plan.  Though conceptual in nature it provides all the elements of planning and design as an "easy to read" colorful drawing, showing all the ideas, suggestions, and important features of the property. There are usually option overlay's for this phase of the design.  At the end of this phase the client should feel comfortable about where the design is going.  It is the "First Stab", "Preliminary Review", and "Complete Concept Design" all in one.
