Landscape Design

Alternative Environments understands that the landscape architecture of your home or business is just as important an investment as the interior decor. A good landscape design has outdoor areas that are not only functional but also beautiful and harmonious with the natural environment. Our Villa Rica landscape design company has the knowledge and experience to:

  • Analyze your property keeping your ideas, needs, and budget in mind
  • Understand the native plant & soil types indigenous to your area
  • Incorporate natural hardscape and artistic feature elements
  • Create a design which uses locally sourced plants and design elements
  • Develop construction plans when needed

Our Villa Rica landscape design company has extensive experience and practical training in landscape design, horticulture, and hardscape design. Our landscape designers understand how to customize projects from small subdivision lots to large acreage commercial properties. We have worked on many different projects with a variety of goals and programs from small raised bed planters to restaurant and public space design.

The Landscape Design Process

Initial Consultation
This is where Alternative Environments will meet the customer on site. The customer will be asked to provide needs (examples: vegetable garden, seating, fire pit, play area, pools etc.) budget, allergies, favorite colors and amount of money & effort to maintain. Designer will take this info and will set expectations for the next meeting.
Site Analysis & Conceptual Design
The designer will usually do this after meeting with the customer. He will measure site, divide up site into the uses and design elements requested by client. Pictures will be taken of site.
Preparation of Design and Quote
This usually happens in our office; the designer takes info from consultation and site analysis and creates a design and then a quote.
Presentation of Plan and Quote
Designer meets with client to go over plan and make sure expectations from initial consultation have been met. Then a quote will be given and explained.
Install Project
Entire plan or phases of plan are installed. Contact us today to learn how the experts at Alternative Environments can design a landscape to add beauty and value to your property.
