  • (Landscape Design Consultation in California)

    Your project begins with a professional consultation.
    During this meeting we:

    • Learn your vision for the property

    • Discuss your goals, style, and functional needs

    • Review your overall project budget

    • Explain our design process, timeline, and design fee

    Consultation fee is waived when you retain 3Dscapes for design services.

    Once you’re ready to move forward, we begin with:

    • A design agreement

    • A design retainer

    • A clear schedule for deliverables

    This officially places your project into our design pipeline.

    We gather:

    • Onsite measurements (If Necessary)

    • GIS data

    Together we:

    • Review the design
