If you’ve decided to breathe new life into your outdoor space and contacted our team at Synergy Landscape to help, you’ve already done the heavy lifting of the decision-making! You may be wondering, well, what’s next? What should you start with? What kinds of questions should you ask from the get-go? Do you need to have designs in mind? Or what about your budget?
We understand that, though exciting, it can all seem overwhelming in the beginning. That’s why our landscape professionals at Synergy have put together a step-by-step list of what you can expect from our partnership as your landscape design and installation company for your home in Kelowna.
An Overview of Our Design and Build Process
Our design and build process is broken into two main phases. In the first phase, we lay the foundation for turning your outdoor dreams into reality — we get to know you and your ideas, draft a plan for your landscape, finalize the project scope, and get it all approved by you. The second phase is where the magic happens. This is where our landscape experts construct and install your exterior landscape features and take care of any clarifications and aftercare services you might need.
Your Step-by-Step Guide to the Landscape Design and Installation Process
The Initial Process
-
Our team gets to know you: This step is the first time we reach out to you after we’ve been contacted by phone, email or the form on our website. We take the time to get to know you and your vision for your landscape, asking as many questions as possible to solidify our understanding of what you need for your outdoor space. If you are struggling with ideas or inspiration, we’ve got you. It is when we determine if we are a good fit for your needs, and if the fit is right, we’ll schedule a time to walk through your site.
-
The first meeting: This is when our first professional consultation takes place. Our landscape and design experts will visit you at your site. We will discuss several design, functional, and aesthetic ideas for your outdoor space and bounce around options to figure out what will work best for your goals.
-
The design presentation: After our consultation, we will compile everything discussed in the first two steps into a feasible design plan. This will include conceptual drawings detailing all the features of your landscape, which will help give you a well-rounded idea of what to expect as the finished project.
-
Final details: Our team will develop cost estimates for your project, a chronological course of action, and payment terms. These details will be given to you in writing.
-
Sealing the deal: Once the scope of your project is finalized—in terms of designs, timelines, and budget, we will enter into a contract with you that describes all of our deliverables for your landscape.
Implementing the Landscape Plan
The building begins: It's finally time for the exciting work to begin. At this stage, we start constructing and installing all exterior landscape features, such as decks, retaining walls, fences, water features, irrigation systems, planting beds, turf areas, and plant material.
Check-in: We’ll take you through the progress we’ve made thus far and make sure we’re on the same page with how your landscape is turning out. Our team prioritizes being proactive and communicative throughout the process to identify areas of improvement from the get-go rather than at the end, as last-minute changes could strain finances and timelines.
Final results and review: Our landscape professionals have worked their magic on your space by now. Once everything has been completed, we will review your landscape with you and provide you with all the vital details. We’ll also take some time to address any questions or concerns you may have about construction, installation, plant materials or maintenance services. Once you are all smiles and satisfied with our work and service, we will accept your final payment, providing you with a detailed final invoice and our Thank You package.
It’s not the end: Even after our work is complete, we won’t forget about you! We understand that you may face hiccups. Our landscape team will check in with you and answer any other questions to ensure everything is smooth sailing regarding plant care, water-wise gardening, or anything else concerning your new landscape. Had some more questions come up? We’re always just a phone call away!
