2 Build
Master craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Our crews are experienced tradespeople – artisans and masters of their crafts. From custom carpentry, decks and stonework to patios, pergolas and swimming pools, we approach every step of the build with an eye on form and function. You’ll find the site is kept neat, and we strive to complete each project without inconveniencing our clients.
We pride ourselves on a professional, seamless build experience based on a proven process:
- Pre-Project Meeting – Before construction begins, your designer and project manager meet to ensure every detail has been addressed and every team member is prepared.
- Project Implementation – Each project follows a basic order of progress:
- Site Preparation: We work quickly and neatly to clear your space and ensure it’s ready for construction and installation.
- Aboriculture: Our certified arborists evaluate and address any existing trees affected by project implementation and provide necessary care such as tree protection, canopy pruning, root pruning, transplanting, or removal.
- Civil and Grading: Proper grading and drainage infrastructure ensure that every property is not only beautiful, but can also handle water runoff.
- Foundational and Architectural Elements: At this stage, we begin construction of all design structures which often include custom stonework, ironwork, carpentry, and any other project elements.
- Plantings and Softscape: Once construction is complete, we install the landscaping and create the perfect growing conditions for your new plants, flowers and trees.
- Project Completion and Maintenance Introduction – After the final installation details are completed, the designer and project manager walk through the property to answer any questions and ensure complete satisfaction. At this time, we introduce you to our garden management team.
