Design

Visionary designs.

Custom-tailored creativity.

If you can dream it, we can design it. For almost 40 years, our award-winning design team has been transforming creative visions into extraordinary landscapes.

Through our refined process and proficient project management, we keep our clients engaged every step of the way, leaving you confident from our first conversation to the final farewell.

STEP ONE

Discover the possibilities

You’re invited to to a Zoom call for an initial virtual consultation. This conversation is dedicated to discovering what’s possible in your new outdoor living space. We also spend some time uncovering what exactly your vision is — what you want to see in your new landscape, how you want to use it, and how you want to feel whenever you do.

We understand that you’re particular about your personal tastes, which is why we take this time to ensure whatever we design is completely tailored to you.

STEP TWO

Perfect your design with an on-site meeting

In order to refine your design, our next step involves an on-site assessment of your property. Together, you can walk us through your current landscape, telling us more about your ideas and goals for the project. As we walk, your consultant will listen intently and ensure you know precisely what to expect in terms of design fees and your project’s budget.

STEP THREE

Approve a 2D design

After signing a design contract, we visit your property to gather the important details: measurements, grades and house evaluations. We also research the site to gather information regarding bylaws, zoning, lot coverage, offsets, and conservation.

This information allows us to determine what we can do on your property and is used by our design team to render with accurate 2D renderings. This 2D concept is presented with recommended materials and plant choices as well as the estimated building cost for your approval.

STEP FOUR

Immerse yourself in 3D views

This stage is a client favourite, as you get to immerse yourself in a full-colour, true-to-life 3D digital model of your design. It also demonstrates how we can transform your ideas into a spectacular, award-winning outdoor living space.

This step is about your confidence in us as a trusted advisor. We believe you’ll be thrilled with the results of our proven process, which is why a significant portion of your landscape design fee is applied to construction fees.

STEP FIVE

Meet our landscape artisans

Let us handle everything. The Plantenance team finalizes all of the construction details for you and initiates permits on your behalf.

And since we’ll be spending some time together, we formally introduce our team to you and your neighbours. You’ll have a chance to meet all of our passionate artisans who will respect your property and your neighbours as they would our own. It’s our White Glove Guarantee.

STEP SIX

Relax as construction begins

Our skilled artisans — carpenters, stonemasons and horticulturists — execute your design flawlessly. Relax, knowing your project will be completed on time and within its allotted budget. You and your property are guaranteed to receive the best in design, workmanship, and care.
