Our Process
Starting with the Initial Consult & Site Visit and ending in the envy of your neighbors.
Initial Consult & Site Visit:
At Michael Lynch Landscape & Tree Service, Inc., our design process begins with a FREE one-on-one meeting at your home. It is here where we can begin to:
- Establish Landscape Objectives and Goals
- Become Familiar with Property Challenges and Surroundings
- Define a Preliminary Scope of Work & Budget
- Review and Discuss Design Aesthetics
- Begin to Examine Potential Design Ideas and Solutions
Site Analysis:
Having met with our designer, and decided to move forward with the design process, the next, most important step, is the Site Analysis. It is necessary to spend as much time as needed on-site critically assessing and evaluating existing landscape and architectural features, allowing for firsthand understanding of design considerations such as:
- Drainage Patterns
- The Presence of Pleasurable vs. Unpleasant Vistas to and From the Site
- Noise
- Sun/Shade Conditions
- Topography (Note: Sites with Severe Topography Change/Challenges may Require the Hiring of a Surveyor or Engineer)
- General Soil Analysis
- Vegetation
Using the knowledge gathered in the site analysis, along with site photography provides our designers with the foundation for further design work.
