Our Design Process
We have created a structured, transparent process designed to keep your project stress-free, on-time, and on-budget. From first ideas to the final result, we take care of every detail so you can continue business as usual while your space takes shape.
See our straightforward five-step process below.
Initial Consultation
-
We start with a relaxed on-site visit to understand your goals, your style, and how you’d like to use your outdoor space. This is where ideas flow and inspiration begins.
Pre- Design Concept
-
Pre-Design concept includes site-specific sketches, mood boards, and planting options. You’ll receive a clear outline of the project scope along with an initial estimate setting the baseline for the final design and installation.
Detailed Design
-
The Detailed Design stage is where your initial concept evolves into a comprehensive design that brings together planting plans, material details, and a clear project timeline. This will provide all the details required for accurate quotes and seamless installation.
Installation Stage
-
With the design approved, installation begins. Softscapes coordinates trusted contractors and specialists as needed, ensuring every detail of your landscape is built to a high standard.
Project Completion
-
We’ll explore the completed space together to ensure it captures your vision. I’ll explain the maintenance plan so you feel confident caring for it, and your new space will be handed over on time, on budget, and ready to be enjoyed.
