Landscape Planning

Your vision for your property can't be rigidly and systematically ordered like a hamburger at a drive-through. That would inhibit the enjoyment you're looking for from your landscape design. The goals of creating enjoyment and functionality are the foundation of our planning process.

Of course, your landscape vision does need to be grounded in reality. The planning questionnaire provides key information to us, and our conversations with you also determine in large part what needs to be accomplished. We then break your goal down into manageable actions that incorporate the features of your landscape design. Our expertise in landscape planning eliminates the drudgery and complication for you. It's our job to handle the landscape architectural drafting and manage the logistics of implementing your landscape design. It’s your job to dream and then enjoy your dream when it comes true.

You should understand that beautiful landscape projects require planning. We'll ask the questions that enable us to establish the design and structural cornerstones of your project. The planning process also helps us establish what is most important to you and how much value it will add to your property and lifestyle. This is when you'll establish an appropriate budget.

Your Boston home is likely a very valuable asset, so it is worth the investment of time to plan for features that will profoundly add to the value of your property. In today’s seller's market, such property improvements add greatly to the value of your home. And if you demonstrate you've had professional landscape planning, buyers will know negative surprises are less likely to pop up.

The elements of your landscape planning process are:

• Walk-through of your property
• Photographs of different perspectives of your property and home
• Detailed questionnaire
• Wish list and discussion of pros and cons
• Suggestions of landscape features you may be aware of

Your landscape is an extension of your home and we want to truly make it an extended living space. Landscape planning will add value to your home and quality of life to your future. Let SLDA professionally plan and then design and implement your landscaping project.
