Design Planning

BP design is committed to creating innovative landscape architectural designs that enhance existing environments. We work collaboratively with our clients, most of whom are design professionals, to ensure that our plans are able to make their dreams come to fruition. We aspire to develop close relationships with our clientel in order to form a supportive and open line of communication.

Initial Consultation and Proposal

The design consultation involves an on-site walk-through and meeting to analyze conditions, discuss the client’s artistic vision, set project goals, and gather necessary information for a design proposal. We prioritize sustainability and may rework the existing site.

Base Plan Preparation

After accepting our design proposal, we conduct a detailed plot plan or survey to locate property lines, buildings, trees, and other structures. For some projects, this plan also includes drainage and grading data. We make multiple site visits as necessary to ensure accuracy. This computer-generated Base Plan serves as the foundation for all subsequent drawings.

Schematic Plan

We create a Schematic Plan by combining details from the Base Plan and initial consultation. These drawings present alternative design options and gather client feedback, showcasing all potential landscape elements like paving, patios, walls, steps, plant beds, and more.

Final Master Plan

After client approval of the Schematic Plan, we refine the project’s character and quality to produce the Final Master Plan. This comprehensive document includes the specific details necessary to generate a cost estimate for project completion.
