our passion and our business

Our design process is simple and concise with a focus on facilitation and ease for our clients.  Through observation, evaluation and communication we learn how to constructively juxtapose the demands of the site with the wishes of the homeowner. 

Our design process begins with a site visit whereby we walk the property and listen to your ideas, needs, and desires.  The Contract For Design Services will then be submitted to you for your review, signature, and deposit to begin design work.  Within three to four weeks we present the Draft Concept Plan to you at your home.  This Plan provides the concept of the design from which to make changes, amendments, additions or deletions.  We then alter this Plan accordingly and present it along with any necessary supporting documents to the appropriate local entities.  Upon approval of the design, the Final Concept Plan is developed and presented to you, again at your home.  This Plan is complete with elevations, descriptions of hardscape materials, and a general indication of which plants will be used.  At this time we like to offer and discuss our services to further your project in the role of Project Management. 

Many of our clients prefer to contract us for Project Management services.  The bidding process, coordination of subcontractors, organization of timely billing, supervision of construction - all of this is handled by Grassroots to give you peace of mind as your landscape is built.
