Landscaping FAQs

We begin with a thorough examination of your wants, needs, and budget. Armed with that information, we design an architectural floorplan layout for us to review with one another until the “perfect” design is captured. After the layout design is approved, we begin the interior design, which includes detailing the cabinets, plumbing fixtures, plumbing faucets, paint, etc. Once all the materials are onsite, we begin construction.

“We had a kitchen renovation and the main bath renovation, we lived in the house for about 20 years and it was remodeled before - it was quite lovely, but we wanted more functionality.
We wanted something fresher.
