Initial Plan Drawing
Initial Site Visit
Each new project begins with an on site consultation. During this visit, Tracy will discuss goals and visions for the final landscape, client preferences, assess important site conditions, and obtain key site information (photos and dimensions, either via property map or measuring).
Design Phase
The design process can take varied forms and stages depending on the scope of the project. Site conditions, maintenance/irrigation requirements, hardscape and plant preferences, and overall style are all key elements considered in the design process. Her process ensures that each phase of garden or landscape design is met with your approval before progressing to the next phase.
For typical design projects, the client will be provided with three components: an illustrative, to-scale plan, a quantitative plant list and a written proposal itemizing various steps of the project.
Additional design services may include
- conceptual design drawings
- comprehensive master plans
- illustrative sketches
- inspiration boards
- plant pallets

Installation oversight
For several years, Tracy has been working with several reputable and competitively priced landscape companies, masons and arborists. She is happy to select from these companies, but is also open to working with others if clients prefer. With the plan, plant list and proposal, Tracy will work with you to get estimates and oversee the installation. Depending on project needs and/or client wishes, Tracy is happy to help divide the work to be done in manageable phases over several seasons.
