Landscape Design
A well-designed landscape can increase the value of a property and have a dramatically affect the owner's enjoyment of an outdoor space. If you are thinking about having a design completed, Old South has a structured creative process in which this is achieved with its clients. Here's how it works:
1. Initial Meeting (no charge)
The design process begins with an informal meeting between the client and the Old South's owner, Bren Silk. It is at this point where the scope and size of the project is discussed, and a quote for the design process is provided. Moving forward from there, arrangements are then made for Old South's Landscape Designer/Horticulturist to meet with the client for the next phase of the design process.
2. Design Consultation
A consultation takes place with Old South's Landscape Designer to determine the client's vision for the property, as well as the client's long term goals for the landscape. (Sometimes a client may be looking to invest in comprehensive landscape that will be completed over the course of a few years, while another client may choose to complete the landscape that summer.) The budget for the installation is also confirmed during this consultation.
3. Site Analysis
The Landscape Designer determines the lay of the land and gathers all necessary measurements from the property.
4. Concept
An initial concept is drawn up and presented to the client. Changes and recommendations are made, and the plan then returns to the design studio for revisions.
5. Landscape Plan
A final 'master plan' is presented to the client, and it then becomes the property of both the client and of Old South. The client is then free to undertake the installation on their own or to have a landscape company look after the details of implementing the design.
