Groundworks believes in finding beauty through nature. Drawing upon our Japanese-American Gardener heritage, we aim to bring out the beauty in any landscape. The key to being able to do this lies in the planning. Without a well thought-out plan for a landscape design, many obstacles can arise such as running over the agreed upon cost. Worst of all, you could end up with a landscape you’re not happy with. Groundworks prefers to work with you step-by-step when it comes to creating a great landscape vision on paper and implementing the design into a piece of beauty.

One of the biggest reasons we insist on creating a landscape design is to help determine the cost of the construction. Having us put our plans on paper helps create a realistic idea of cost, as well as an estimate on construction time and most importantly delivers a workable vision. This also helps in the reduction of project overruns. Our expert landscapers will come out to your location and discuss the needs and desires for your ideal landscape. Amongst the discussion, Groundworks will also take into consideration the architectural style of any buildings and the specific micro climates of each project. A truly beautiful landscape incorporates all of these elements into its design. Once we have a full understanding of how you envision the landscape project, we will transfer all the thoughts and ideas into a conceptual landscape design.

Upon approval of your conceptual design, the next step for our Landscape Designers is to develop working plans in order to provide estimates for soil preparation, softscapes as well as hardscaping,  irrigation systems, plant selections list , and even low voltage lighting requirements. Our landscape designing process also includes creating visual planning materials needed for the construction and layout of hardscaping items, irrigation installation, and planting design layout.  Groundworks’ priority is to help turn your concepts into a vision. Turn that vision into a design and turn that design into a beautiful piece of nature. Backed by solid experience our designers can identify areas of concern when mixing and matching materials to provide recommendation to deliver that professional level vision. As always our landscape designers will help ensure your piece of nature is also a work of art.
