FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We pride ourselves in being a competitively priced design and construction firm. We'll not pretend to be the "cheap" guys. Frankly, if you're looking to get a project done for the lowest price, we'll probably not be a good fit for you. If you're looking for excellent craftsmanship at a fair price, then we should probably talk.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically we start with a brief phone conversation to answer some questions and get an understanding of the project. Lots of people send us a few pictures of the area in question, which helps us provide some more detailed information during that initial call. Ultimately, if it seems like a project we can help with, an on-site consultation is typically the next step. At that face-to-face meeting, we might discuss contracting a landscape design, or we may just try to give you a better understanding of the cost and scope of the project we are discussing. Regardless of the project in question, we will be forthright concerning the potential costs and work diligently to provide a solution that is both functional and beautiful.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My staff and I have over 30 years of experience designing and building custom outdoor living spaces from Traverse City, MI, down to Elkhart, IN. I have a BBA from Davenport University in Grand Rapids, MI. Furthermore, I have taken many landscape design courses at MSU in conjunction with the Michigan Nursery & Landscape Association, and completed countless industry CEU's with the APLD, ICPI, PLANET, and the NASRW. Mostly, I just really enjoy my work designing and building awesome landscapes! There is no other job I'd rather do...
