Landscape Design Services by Botanica Designs

Master Plan

A master plan is suggested for an entire property, front garden or back garden. The plan can be handed off to a landscape contractor for installation.

The master plan works well for residential property when you want to redefine outdoor living spaces, add some hardscaping feature like a patio, deck, fencing, etc or feel the need for a complete change. The design process is completed over a time period lasting at least one month or longer. It will require at least 3 meetings with the designer as well as your thoughts and wishes defined. The designer then takes site measurements and drafts a base sheet. Several conceptual ideas are designed from this and presented to you. Once reviewed and examined, a planting plan is drafted. The plant selection is dictated by the site requirement and the wishes of the client. Along with the several copies of the drawn document you will receive a portfolio with pictures of the site, a planting plan key and other helpful information.

The amount of time that goes into working on a master plan can range from 8 to 20 + hours depending on the complexity of the site and space. A "guestimate" of the time commitment will be given at the first meeting. At each meeting you will be updated as to the number of hours that have been put into the project.

Cost for this service is $60 per hour. A plan could range from $480 to $1,200 + depending on the number of hours to complete the task. A travel fee of $15 per hour will be added for site visits.

You will receive one copy of the planting plan and plant list along with a packet full of useful gardening information.
