Detailed Design

At this stage of the design process, the coordination between disciplines is key. The site bases, architectural footprints and site constraints are established, and the landscape design brings all of these elements together in a coordinate package. Material schedules, detailed drawings and scaled sheets are prepared to allow for a complete understanding of how the proposed design will be constructed.

Hardscape Details

This is where we ask the question: How is this going to work? The big idea now needs to fit together.
Plan, elevation, section and enlargements, all main design views come into play for specific elements of the design.
Size, materials, fixtures, standards are utilized to allow the project to be built.

Planting Plans

Considered the softscape of the project, it is the tree and shrub planting for the project.
Early stages denote areas of planting or categorize types of plants, but the planting plans make "concrete" decisions.
The actual plant proposed for the projects are defined, located and specified by size, variety and quantity.
