FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every project has a different scope of work. For some we may be doing full master plans from rain gardens to patios, retaining walls, furniture design, and walkways. For others we may be creating plans to update an existing landscape and incorporate ecological systems like edible plants and pollinators into the gardens. Either way we’re up for the challenge.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We are thrilled that you’ll be designing your garden with BLOSSOM. To start the process, let’s schedule a design consultation where we listen to what you’ve been dreaming up and find out more about your budget and timeline. We’ll head back to the studio and write up a proposal for your specific project based on the hours we see your project will take. Upon a signed proposal we’ll begin the design work. It all starts with a vision board so that we can show you what we’ve understood as the desired outcome from our initial consultation. Beyond that, we’ll dive into some conceptual drawings and work together to get a final design ready to execute. Upon completion, the files are brought to our build team for a installation estimate and the install as soon as possible. You may have a few phases of your project to get what you desire in a reasonable budget. Together, we’ll have your garden designed and built in no time!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
