Popular questions
What does the landscape design process involve?
Our design process begins with an initial consultation to understand your needs, preferences, and budget. We then conduct a site analysis, evaluating soil conditions, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and existing features. From there, we develop a concept design, refine it based on your feedback, and create detailed plans that guide the implementation of your landscape project.
How long does it take to develop a landscape design?
The timeframe varies depending on project complexity and size. A typical residential landscape design takes 3-4 weeks from initial consultation to final plan delivery. Larger properties or more complex designs may require additional time. We’ll provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
Can you work with my existing landscape features?
Absolutely. We often incorporate valuable existing elements like mature trees, established gardens, or quality hardscape features into new designs. Our approach focuses on enhancing your property’s strengths while addressing any challenges or underutilized areas.
Do you consider maintenance requirements in your designs?
Yes, maintenance considerations are integral to our design process. We discuss your maintenance preferences early on and create landscapes that align with the time and resources you wish to invest in upkeep. We can design low-maintenance landscapes that still offer visual impact and functionality.
How do you address challenging sites like steep slopes or poor drainage?
Challenging sites often yield the most creative and rewarding designs. We have extensive experience working with Kapiti’s varied terrain. For steep slopes, we might incorporate terracing, retaining walls, and appropriate plantings. Poor drainage areas can be transformed with rain gardens, appropriate plant selection, and strategic grading or drainage solutions.
Can you provide guidance on plant selection for our local climate?
Definitely. Our intimate knowledge of Kapiti’s microclimate informs all our plant selections. We recommend species that thrive in local conditions while meeting your aesthetic preferences. We consider factors like salt tolerance for coastal properties, wind resistance, drought tolerance, and seasonal interest to create sustainable, beautiful plantings that flourish year-round.
