There are two streams of design we offer. The first is called scaled drawing which includes detailed and thorough designs which you can then give to another landscape company to quote on. In a scaled design, everything is defined and/or most details are worked out. Most of our projects don’t need that level of detail. This level of design is called the concept design. Concept design is simply a drawing showing that we are on the same page, understand each other by conveying what the finished product will look like.
