Our Process

Initial Consultation

We start by meeting with you to understand your vision, needs, and budget. At Consilium Design, we labor in the details that truly matter for your project, ensuring short and long-term success.

Site Analysis

Our team conducts a comprehensive analysis of your site, examining its climate, soil, flora, topography, and existing infrastructure. This stage may include surveys and environmental impact assessments to identify constraints and opportunities.

Concept Design

Based on our findings and your initial brief, we develop conceptual designs. These are presented through sketches, community character and image boards, and preliminary layouts, providing a visual representation of our ideas and allowing for your feedback.

Design Development

After refining the concept based on your feedback, we create detailed drawings and specifications that outline the precise placement of natural and built elements. This phase also includes selecting materials and plants and may involve collaborating with other professionals such as civil engineers, architects, and environmental scientists.

Regulatory Review

Our detailed designs are almost always subject to local jurisdictional review and may include state or federal review. We often lead the entitlement process and submit plans for compliance review, adjusting as needed in response to review comments.

Construction Documentation

Once the design is finalized and approved, we prepare detailed construction documents. These documents provide comprehensive instructions for contractors on how to execute the design, including construction details, materials, and specifications for landscape development.

Contractor Selection

We assist you in soliciting bids from contractors to execute the project. We help evaluate the bids and select a contractor based on experience, budget, and quality of proposal.

Construction

During the construction phase, we conduct site visits to ensure that the contractor adheres to the design plans, materials, and workmanship standards. After completion, we thoroughly review to ensure everything has been installed according to the plans, including assessing plant health, material integrity, and the functionality of structural features.

Maintenance Planning

Lastly, we develop a maintenance plan to ensure the longevity and aesthetic appeal of the landscape. This plan includes schedules for pruning, watering, fertilizing, and other necessary care practices to keep the site looking its best.
