The first step in our design process is a client consultation. A trained Hunter Landscape Design professional will visit your home to examine and discuss all aspects of the site; from the interior and exterior of your home, existing colour schemes and structural components to the architectural site analysis. There is a consultation fee applicable for this portion for the design process; later this fee can be applied toward the final cost stated on the Design Contract.

Step 2 – Design

After reviewing the goals and objectives for your project a Design Contract is written up to verify both parties agreement on the applicable fee and design package components. The contract will include the following plans and information:

Concept Plan:
A preliminary landscape plan with a preliminary budget will be brought back to the client to discuss likes and dislikes. Any changes that need to be made are done at this time.

Detailed Landscape Plan:
A final landscape plan with all components labelled including hardscape dimensions and materials (patios, arbours, small building construction like gazebos and sheds, retaining walls, etc.) and softscape areas and materials (all plant material). Plants will be labelled with common and botanical names and listed with the quantities and nursery sizes.

Go to Case Studies to view examples of this set of designs.

Step 3 – Connect with a Contractor

With the finalized plan in place, our knowledgable staff will connect you with a trusted landscape contractor who can develop a detailed estimate and work with you to create the outdoor space of your dreams. Our contractor connections through our landscape supply business, Selections Nursery & Design Centre, have wide-ranging skill sets and use utmost care when installing our designs.
