FAQ

  • 1. Why should I invest in a design plan before hiring a contractor?

    A detailed 2D and 3D design plan ensures your vision is clearly communicated and executed. Without a plan, contractors often make assumptions that can lead to costly mistakes, delays, and a finished space that doesn’t match your expectations. A design plan:

    Provides accurate measurements and layouts.

    Helps visualize the final result before construction begins.

    Prevents budget overruns, identifies potential issues early.

    Allows you to compare bids fairly since all contractors work from the same blueprint.

  • 3. What’s the difference between 2D and 3D design plans?

    2D Plans: These are top-down layouts showing dimensions, hardscape placement, and plant locations. They’re essential for accurate construction and material estimates.

    3D Renderings: These bring your design to life with realistic visuals, showing how your outdoor space will look from different angles, including textures, colors, and lighting.
