Design Services

Aspen Landscaping in Bend, OR
Our design process begins with a visit to your project site. This initial meeting allows us to meet in person to discuss the project in detail and decide if the elements exist for a strong working relationship. During this meeting we will ask questions, discuss budget, offer advice where it is helpful and take any measurements necessary to start the design.  This provides a detailed drawing to represent the scope of work and is the basis for a final budget and proposal. Your landscape budget is a very important part of the project.
 
Based on the scope of work it will determine whether the project can be done all at once or in multiple phases. It is our goal to keep an open discussion regarding your budget throughout the design process. Upon completion of the landscape design, we will present a detailed proposal which outlines all costs associated with your project in the order which the project should be installed.
 
Once the project is approved we set a scheduled start date to get your project rolling. We do our very best to stay on your project straight through to completion. Our crews come prepared with all the necessary materials and equipment to complete your project in a timely manner. Our construction manager and designer will keep you integrally involved in the process, reviewing our progress on your project in multiple stages.
 
We know the construction process can be inconvenient and we truly want you to have the best experience possible. The Designer and project manager will go over the landscape as it compares to the design to ensure that we are fulfilling your objectives and set a date for the final walk through. Once your project is completed, we proudly perform a “final landscape review” with you. This is to ensure that you are happy with your new space and for us to go over the functions of any new elements in your landscape.
 
Aspen Landscape Development wants to provide every client with a great landscape experience. This starts with great communication. We blend imagination, experience, and resourcefulness with a talent for understanding and enhancing our client’s personal vision. This results in a true transformation of outdoor spaces.

Our Design Process

INITIAL MEETING & SITE ASSESSMENT

Our design process begins with a visit to your project site. This initial meeting allows us to meet in person to discuss the project in detail and to “test the chemistry”, and decide if the elements exist for a strong working relationship. During this meeting we will ask questions, discuss budget, offer advice where it is helpful and take any measurements necessary to start the design.

 

CREATING A DESIGN

The Landscape Plan is the most important tool for a successful landscape project. This provides a detailed drawing to represent the scope of work and is the basis for a final budget and proposal. After the the initial meeting the design process will include 2-4 additional meetings to review the plans so you can provide input for the design. The final meeting will be held at our office located at Moonfire and Sun Garden Center. This allows us the opportunity to go over plant selections first hand and finalize the landscape plan.

Landscape Designs start at $500.00. The price varies based on the size and complexity of the site. 

ESTABLISHING A BUDGET, SUBMITTING A BID, CREATING A TIMELINE

Your landscape budget is a very important part of the project. Based on the scope of work it will determine whether the project can be done all at once or in multiple phases. It is our goal to keep an open discussion regarding your budget throughout the design process. Upon completion of the landscape design we will present a detailed proposal which outlines all costs associated with your project in the order which the project should be installed. Once the project is approved we set a scheduled start date to get your project rolling.

GETTING TO WORK

Once the schedule is approved and we begin your project it is our priority. We do our very best to stay on your project straight through to completion. Our crews come prepared with all the necessary materials and equipment to complete your project in a timely manner. Our construction manager and designer will keep you integrally involved in the process, reviewing our progress on your project in multiple stages. Questions are always welcome and encouraged during the construction process. We know the construction process can be inconvenient and we truly want you to have the best experience possible.

MAKING CHANGES

Custom landscaping is a very dynamic process and projects evolve throughout construction. Changes generally come about as a result of our clients’ preference, specific demands of the site or unforeseen site limitations. Our Designers and Construction Managers stay involved throughout the project to advise our clients on changes, and help them understand budget implications or site limitations. It is our passion to bring your vision to life and we want your experience to be a great one.

WRAPPING IT UP

As your project nears completion, you’ll find our crew respectful of your property and neighborhood. Equipment and debris is neatly removed from the site, and preparations are made to hand over your new custom landscape. At this point, Foremen and Project Managers will double check any mechanical elements (i.e. pumps. irrigation, lighting). The Designer and project manager will go over the landscape as it compares to the design to ensure that we are fulfilling your objectives and set a date for the final walk through.

FINAL EVALUATION

Once your project is completed, we proudly perform a “final landscape review” with you. This is to insure that you are happy with your new space and for us to go over the functions of any new elements in your landscape. We will also go over ongoing maintenance and answer any other questions you might have. We will then put your project on the calendar for your 30, 60 and 90 day checks. Your new landscape will continue to grow and become more beautiful over time with proper care and maintenance.
