When you hire Groundhog Landscaping for your Lakes Region landscaping project, you have all the benefits of a fully staffed landscape company with over 30 years’ experience in the landscape construction industry. This end-to-end landscape design-build process is, in most cases, guided by a landscape plan that has been designed specifically for you.
Our team manages every phase of the process from planning to completion, ensuring the finished product is exactly what you envisioned.
How Our Landscape Design-Build Process Works
Landscape design-build projects can vary greatly in size, scope, and cost. Our administrative approach provides an environment where streamlined communication and job site efficiency thrives.
- Discovery Call. When you call about a design-build project, our office coordinator will talk with you about scheduling, budget, and goals. If you feel that Groundhog is a good fit, they will schedule a meeting with our Estimator.
- On-Site Consultation. Moving forward, our Estimator will meet with you on-site to discuss more details about the scope, review site requirements, and discuss some preliminary numbers for your project. At this point, we will determine if a landscape design is needed and give you a price to do that.
- Landscape Design. Not all projects require this step, but the landscape plan is a necessary part of making sure everyone is on the same page for larger projects with multiple components. Both our Landscape Designer and Estimator will meet with you to discuss material preferences and how the space will be used.
- Plan Revisions. Once the preliminary plan is drawn up and approved, a proposal will be provided of what the project will cost. At this stage, you will be able to make substitutions, add or remove components, or create phase-in strategy as your budget allows.
- Contract. After the plan revisions have been made, a final contract with all specifications will be submitted to you for your signature and deposit. At this point, the Project Manager will take over, get the required permits (if needed) and schedule your project.
- Construction. Our Project Manager is the point-of-contact between you and the Site Foreman. He oversees the process to ensure that your expectations are being met and the project stays on schedule and within budget.
- Final Walk-through. When the construction is finished, the Project Manager will walk through the site with you to answer your questions and provide you with instructions on how to care for your new landscape investment.
