Design + Build

 
Metro GreenScape painted an emotional image as we walked through our backyard of what our outdoor living space would be like and it is better than we imagined. Their ability to paint that picture, make recommendations, and then their team's ability to bring it to life is phenomenal. From roasting marshmallows with our kids to entertaining to relaxing with friends, this has become a treasured addition to our home.

Consultation

Metro GreenScape offers a $75 consultation that includes a 10-point Landscape Site Inspection. A $300 value, this inspection gives us insight into ten important aspects of your property and the prospective building site in order to determine the best options and solutions for your dream landscape or outdoor living space.

The ten-point inspection includes:
1. HEALTH OF EXISTING PLANT LIFE. We check for disease, that existing plants are pruned correctly and are not competing with the same sunlight and water source as nearby plants.
2. LAWN ANALYSIS. We check your lawn for dead patches, poor soil conditions, thatch build-up, and proper mowing height.
3. SITE DRAINAGE. We check your property and potential building site for erosion and proper drainage away from home and patio foundations.
4. IRRIGATION PLAN. We check existing irrigation and water system for lawn and landscaping needs, possible over watering situations, leaks, and then suggest ideas for water conservation if necessary.
5. OUTDOOR LIGHTING. We check for adequate outdoor lighting for security and lawn and landscape accents.
6. PATIO. We check for patio settling, cracks, and possible need for sealing. Your lawn should slope away from the patio.
7. OUTDOOR STRUCTURES. We check decks and fixed seating for warping, wear, rot, cracking and misplacement.
8. TREES. We identify trees that may be at risk or have disease and fungus. We will then propose an action plan to save the tree or consult with our certified arborist if necessary.
9. SEASONAL COLOR. We identify areas for seasonal color accents.
10. DESIGN IDEAS. We will provide ideas with our initial thoughts on-site with the homeowner to discuss and answer questions prior to moving into a formal design phase.

Yes, other firms may state that they will do a site review at no charge, but as you know based on the other professionals you rely upon to manage your life and your work, you get what you pay for. When we conduct our assessment, we are first and foremost considering what is truly in your best interests in order to make the best decision in who you work with to design and build. Of course, we hope to be the firm selected, but through you knowing what to expect, your expectations can be met because you have been informed and given the opportunity to understand prior to proceeding. But most important of all, we listen!
