Gathering all documentation on your property to review relevant easements or building code constraints is essential. Your designer should also document the property’s topography [grade map], allowing them to create a design that properly accounts for existing slopes. Identifying these at the outset will prevent designing a space that cannot be built.
Planning starts with perspective. The first step to planning an outdoor remodeling project should be creating a complete scope. Along with deciding on what features to include, you must also identify all of the additional items required to build and function those features properly.
Your project’s design will directly impact the value and enjoyment your outdoors brings to your home. Projects designed using a structured process led by a qualified designer create lasting value for their owners.
– Consider what is most essential to your outdoor space.
– Outline a budget you are comfortable to work with.
– Design for phases if budget restraints arise.
The designed space should reflect your style and preferences. Many homeowners don’t know their style, and those who do typically do not know how to translate it to their outdoor space. Because of this, your designer should have a dedicated process for discovering your distinct style preferences. This ensures that the design will be a space created to reflect you!
