LANDSCAPE DESIGN:

When a landscape is designed by a professional, the plan becomes a direct reflection of the clients style.  Whether
you are a homeowner looking for a landscape plan to implement yourself, or a contractor looking to out source your
design work, you can feel confident that a landscape plan that is crafted by Michigan Landscape Design Services will
incorporate all of your ideas in a creative and unique way. All landscape plans are drawn to scale, clearly labeled
and can be supported with construction details as needed.



Landscape planning services include:
    
  •     Master plans.

  •     Drainage correction plans.

  •     Low voltage lighting plans.

  •     Theme garden design.


Benefits of a landscape plan include:

  • Accurate take offs for estimating.

  • Detailed planting layout.

  • Ability to phase projects, keeping
         one vision in mind.


     The process.............................                                              


                                                     How it works: (Home owners):

The initial consultation usually lasts about 1 hour. We can meet on your site and discuss your thoughts, ideas and
feelings regarding your landscape and what you are looking to accomplish. At that point, we can review a portfolio
of photos and try to match some of the projects of the past with your ideas of the present. If we feel that we have a
good fit, we will move into the design phase where a landscape plan will be generated.

If you are interested in installing the plan yourself, landscape consultation time can be purchased (see below) to help
you obtain that professional look. From material deliveries to construction details, a management package can be
assembled for your individual job to ensure the results you are looking for.

If you are looking for a contractor to do some or all of your installation, bid collection and project management
services are also offered.



                                                       How it works: (Contractors):

When it comes to your clients, you can feel confident that they will be handled in the most professional manor. These
clients are your clients and therefore, your reputation is on the line. The landscape plan that will  be generated will be
professional, clearly labeled and ready for presentation. It will also contain your company logo adding your level of
professionalism to the plan. If you are simply looking for a design, that can be done. If you would like to use other
services such as  project management, consultation and /or training, this can be arranged as the time line of your job
progresses.

                               LANDSCAPE LIGHTING INSTALLATION:

Its about the effect, not the fixture.....................

Keeping this philosophy in mind, your lighting system will be designed and installed using high quality fixtures that
provide brilliant effects.

When it comes to landscape lighting, there are 3 design principles to keep in mind:

1). Simplicity
2). Balance
3). Function.

                                           Following these principles will ensure success.
