What Happens After You Get in Touch
Curious about how the landscape design process works with Sequoia Outdoor Design & Build?
Here’s a step-by-step look at what you can expect:
STEP 1On-Site Consultation
We kick things off with a free, one-hour consultation at your home. During this visit, we’ll discuss your ideas, review your outdoor space, and take note of important details like dimensions, current conditions, and any potential challenges. This allows us to fully understand your vision and how we can make it a reality.
STEP 2 Design Concept Plan
After the consultation, our expert designers will develop a concept plan or 3D rendering based on the insights we’ve gathered. This visual plan will allow you to see how your new landscape will look, and we’ll refine the design based on your feedback until it perfectly aligns with your vision
STEP 3 HOA/Construction Plan
If your project requires HOA approval, we’ll develop a detailed construction plan, complete with scaled designs and measurements. This ensures that all necessary preparations are made before we start building.
STEP 4 3D Renderings
For a more detailed look, we offer 3D renderings that show every aspect of your project, including different viewpoints and even night scenes. This step is especially useful for complex designs, allowing you to see exactly how everything will come together.
STEP 5 Custom Design Packages
Whether your project involves intricate garden layouts, hardscape elements, or specific features like outdoor kitchens or pergolas, we create a custom design package tailored to your needs. This package includes everything from the initial concepts to detailed quotes, ensuring you know exactly what to expect.
STEP 6 Revisions
We understand that your ideas might evolve as the project takes shape. That’s why we include basic revisions in all our packages, allowing for small adjustments or tweaks. If you require more extensive changes, we offer additional revisions at an hourly rate to make sure your landscape design is exactly what you envisioned.
