FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing method is really pretty simple. I charge on average $125 per hour and set a fixed final price before I begin to design so that you know exactly what you will get from me and at what cost. The total design fee will vary depending on the size and complexity of the project and how many hours I estimate it will take me to produce a design. Other factors like revisions, alternative design layouts, or perspective or 3D drawings can also add to the overall fee. I am very flexible with how I work, so if a client just wants a rough conceptual sketch I can provide that at a fairly low fee. Or if a client prefers a complete CAD plan including planting, irrigation and lighting I can provide that at a higher fee.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Do your research. There are a lot of people out there that claim to offer landscape design services but really are just landscape contractors who paid $100 for some knockoff design program and are only familiar with the same handfull of plants that they use on every job. These kinds of people will often offer "Free" design services. Be leary of any design that is "Free". If a design is free, what does that say about the time and thought that went into it?
