Our Approach

Our process takes you from initial concept through construction and we follow up with any services required to maintain your property.

We begin with a consultation to explore your ideas, how you want to spend your time outdoors, who you want to entertain, and what vision you have for the landscape and hardscapes materials to be included. Our landscape architect will design your "Outdoor Living Room" and after final approval by you, our skilled construction crews will build it. We will keep you informed every step of the way and we will stay in touch periodically after the construction is completed to answer any questions you may have.

We will also assist you in establishing a budget for the entire project or each phase of the project. We will help you understand if your budget is realistic for your design. Just as when you go to buy a home, remodel a kitchen, or purchase a car, you need to know a rough budget within which you are willing to work. Underwood Landscape uses the following 3-step approach to landscape design:

Visitation and consultation
Site planning and measurement
Landscape design
Lighting design
Drainage assessment and irrigation design
Phased installation
Materials introduction and proposal
Implementation and construction
Completion of project
Warranty follow-up on materials and workmanship

Step 1: Site Analysis

First, we conduct a thorough on-site analysis of your property, understanding and noting any grading or drainage issues, irrigation requirements, soil condition, existing vegetation, sun exposure, wind direction, screening requirements, utility lines and so on. We will collect all the information we need to understand all aspects of your property, your needs, and your desires. Attaining your landscaping dream is our goal!

We will also provide you with a portfolio of prior design with before and after pictures reflecting our work. Additionally, we will take photographs of your property to assist us in constructing our landscape design plans, and to provide you with a clear before and after comparison upon completion of the project.

Step 2: The Design

We then storyboard the design of your dreams. Often this will involve a proposal to incorporate the basic structure of the new landscape, architectural elements such as decks, walkways, terraces, ponds, circulation flow, screening requirements, noise abatement, irrigation requirements and drainage solutions. We will also discuss plant selection and hardscape materials. After presenting the plan, we then incorporate feedback from you and make any adjustments necessary as requested by you.

Step 3: The Master Plan

Based on your review and modifications, we then create the Master Plan, bringing together all of the design elements, along with a cost estimate for installation. Additionally we include plant literature, which will help you visualize what the mature landscape will look like, as well as what to expect in terms of flowering, seasonal growth, water and fertilizer requirements, and maintenance.

As each design process varies, dependent on the lot size, hardscape required, plant selection and architectural features, each design is individually priced. Contact Underwood Landscape today to begin designing the landscape of your dreams!
