My unique design development techniques
are the most efficient ever devised. My terms are very simple,
with no fine print, or confusing language.
I will spend an hour, or as long as it takes to answer all your questions related to
anticipated project. We will formulate a landscape design
program that suits your needs, compliments your home, and respects your budget.

Design is more than drawing
circles. It requires vision and expertise to bring all the various
aspects together into a cohesive composition that works, is well crafted,
and is aesthetically pleasing. I have designed projects all over the country
including climate zones 2 thru 10 Sub Tropical to Arid.
Atlantic to Pacific. Keys to the Rockies. A summer villa in the mountains
of Saudi Arabia!

"Thanks David:
...I must say again, we are so very pleased with the design you
drew. It was fascinating the way
you put all this together: Formal garden, waterfalls, stream, and
retaining/sitting walls. Thanks for you." Jim and Linda
Atlanta, GA |

Drafting your landscape design Master plan
similar to those represented on the landscape plans
starts at $200 for scanning and labeling the
sketch plan that I draw during our 1st meeting. See 3d
landscape designs and image processing and
3D |

The following are pike nurseries fees for
junior designers. "The design plan fees are determined on a per
hour basis. The fees in the metro Atlanta area are $160 for the
first hour and $80 for each additional hour. Rates are higher
outside the metro Atlanta area." |
|
Some contractors
advertise free estimates, which can be confused with free design
services (aka Proposal). I was caught in that trap for several years when
I had a payroll to meet, until realized that I was spinning my wheels
and being taken advantage of. There may be a landscape contractor
that's hungry enough to still do that. If so, their entire objective is
to sell you their goods and services. Sub contractors only know one
thing, and they don't even contemplate how their
thing fits within the scope of a project, or how it effects others. If
they could, they wouldn't be sub contractors. |
