Conceptual Plans
The conceptual plan, or "master plan" is typically the first phase of the design process. This plan lays down all the essentials, and its purpose is to organize the space in a clean and easily readable format. This plan is often used as the hardscape plan, and is useful for contractors for bidding.
Planting Plans
Planting plans allows there to be a phase of the design where the plants take center stage. The Planting Plan is ostensibly the first phase of the plan with plant selection overlayed. Without a planting plan, the finished product will probably look like a lot of new landscapes: bark mulch, boulders and a couple weeping conifers. We are not fans of this cookie-cutter approach to design, so we put a lot of time into our planting plans, and we feel the results speak for themselves. Plants should be the main focus of our work, not an afterthought.
Plan Details
If you want to have a part of the plan shown from a section or viewing perspective we are happy to provide that for you. This may be a good way to demonstrate different heights and elevations, but either way it's not an essential element just another tool to help visualize the final product.
