Our Process

Our 9 Step Process

Unique Landscaping strives to create the perfect design and installation.

Step 1

Initial Consultation (No Fee)

Begin with a no-fee consultation. We walk your grounds with you; review what you have, want, and need; and then discuss your future goals.  

  • Personal walkthrough of your property
  • Assessment of existing landscape
  • Discussion of your needs and wants
  • Exploration of future goals

Step 2

Vision Development

Crystallize your vision as determined by your response to our specific and targeted interview questions. We may discover, for instance, that what you really want is to create a sanctuary for specific kinds of birds, utilizing flowers with splashes of color and fragrances that you may want to experience.
 

  • Detailed interview process with targeted questions
  • Identification of specific objectives (e.g., bird sanctuaries)
  • Discussion of desired aesthetic elements:
    • Color schemes
    • Fragrance preferences
    • Specific plant preferences

Step 3

Site Analysis

Combine your vision with the reality of the topography and geography of your space. This will determine the key hardscape and landscape elements to be included in your design.
 

  • Evaluation of property topography
  • Geographic considerations
  • Determination of key elements:
    • Hardscape requirements
    • Landscape features

Step 4

Custom Design Creation

Develop a plan based on your vision and expectations that will turn your space into the perfect and comforting environment.
 

  • Development of comprehensive plan
  • Integration of vision with practical elements
  • Focus on creating your ideal outdoor environment

Step 5

Cost Assessment

Present an estimate of cost that includes written assessments and recommendations. Should you desire them, additional designs, 3-D renderings, scaled 2D site plans, and specialty package options can be included for a slight fee.

Base Package Includes:

  • Written assessments
  • Detailed recommendations
  • Complete cost estimates

Optional Add-Ons (Additional Fee):

  • 3D renderings
  • Scaled 2D site plans
  • Specialty package options

Step 6

Project Implementation

Finalize design, approve installation plans, and assemble a consistent crew of hand-selected, skilled landscapers for the duration of your project. Unlike many competitors, it is against our practice to employ job hopping—we work continuously on your project from start to completion.
 

  • Design finalization
  • Installation plan approval
  • Dedicated crew assignment
  • Note: We maintain consistent crew membership throughout your project

Step 7

Project Management

Monitor the progress and encourage questions and observations from the homeowner. Your interests and desires are always foremost. We encourage you to talk with our crew leaders at any time during your project.
 

  • Continuous progress monitoring
  • Open communication policy
  • Direct access to crew leaders
  • Encouraged client involvement and feedback

Step 8

Project Completion

Evaluate the completed project. A supervisor walks every step of your grounds with you and all interested members of your family, observing, reviewing, and explaining all the nuances and details of the project. You will then receive your custom maintenance guide to help you maintain each and every plant, bush, and tree involved in the creation of your project, as well as recommendations for the care and maintenance of all hardscape structures.

Final Review Includes:

  • Comprehensive property walkthrough
  • Detailed explanation of features
  • Custom maintenance guide covering:
  • Plant care instructions
  • Tree and bush maintenance
  • Hardscape upkeep recommendations
