Certified Landscape Designer:
Offering landscape design packages targeted to the design-challenged homeowners and contractors that needs a bit of direction and professional advice.
My process:
CONSULTATION
The design process starts with an in-home consultation. During that visit I listen carefully to understand your needs and wants, we discuss styles preferences and look at your area to be landscaped. From that initial discussion, I will provide you with a project estimate for a full design package tailored to your individual needs.
SITE INVENTORY & ANALYSIS
Once you have provided your approval to proceed, site assessment can begin. Where available, a detailed inventory of the physical characteristics of the site, along with measurements and photographs will be taken. The information is then used to produce a BASE PLAN which provides the framework for developing a plan to create your new space.
CONCEPT DESIGN
Next, design concepts are explored with respect to the location of patios, decks, planting beds, water features or any other elements you may desire. This design is drawn into a CONCEPT PLAN, which is presented to you, along with any images which help to illustrate the design ideas. This meeting will provide further refinements needed to establish a final plan which will thrill you!
MASTER PLAN
The MASTER PLAN is the final refinement of the conceptual design drawn to include greater detail and accuracy. You will receive a full colour rendering of the final plan with all hardscape and plant material labeled, a complete PLANTING PLAN and a personalized plant catalogue.

… We worked with Debi the summer of 2011. We had just moved into a new house and were anxious to get started on our landscaping but were at a loss as to how to start. There were many challenges to our backyard such as a steep slope and a swale. We felt at ease and comfortable with Debi right from the start. She met with us to discuss our likes and dislikes,including things such as plant aterial and our favourite colours. She developed our plan in a timeley manner that was innovative and creative. Debi is friendly, thorough and efficient. I would not hesitate to use her services agaiin or to recommend her to others…

… We wanted to write you a note to let you know how extremely pleased we are with the plan you provided us. Having just built our new home we wanted a professional landscape design that would make best use of our space. You were able to ask the right questions to help guide the discussions and ensure we received exactly what we were looking for. Your passion for landscape design was very evident, you gave us tips and suggestions that best suited the plants and matched the plantings to our ability to care for them. We have already and will continue to recommend your design services to everyone we know. We are looking forward to beginning phase one of the project this summer, please feel free to pop over anytime and see your creation brought to life…

… I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed working with you in devising a landscape design for our property. Although we didn’t think you could do much with a 30′ lot that has a large berm in the back, we ended up with a very usable multipurpose space. Not only did we get the vegetable garden and eating area we wanted, but an extra seating area and a spot for the hammock! It was very helpful that you provided us with a detailed plant list so that we will know what to look for at a nursery. The mix of colours and textures you provided is very exciting! I also really appreciated getting recomendations for contractors that you have worked with as it made choosing a construction professional easy. I look forward to sharing pictures of the completed work…
