Planning
The essential first step in any project is the planning phase. At PRA, we work with each client to understand the goals of their landscape project to design the best solution. No space is too small and no dream is too big. This is the part of the process where we talk through big picture questions and begin to map out our plan of action, taking it from the base plan all the way through a fully developed concept and sketch up.
Design-Build Process
With our concept and renderings, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and dig into the design-build process. During this stage, we will often work collaboratively with other professionals, including architects, interior designers and engineers, to create an expertly designed and fully functional landscape concept. The scope of design-build projects varies depending on the site and project goals, and it can include a range of services, including sidewalks, driveways, paving and masonry, swimming pools, fountains, outdoor kitchens, patios, iron work, grasswork and grading.
Planting
What’s a beautiful garden without some greenery and blooms? Our landscape designers have an expert eye and attention to detail when it comes to selecting trees, flowers and other flora for your garden. We take note of the amount of light and shade in your outdoor space, desired colors, seasonal temperatures and other special requests to make sure we’re adding plants that will thrive in your landscape.
Maintaining
To keep your landscape vibrant year-round, our certified maintenance team thoroughly inspects every detail of your property — from turf to treetops — to keep your garden healthy. We recognize that regular maintenance is an essential part of maintaining the beauty you’ve invested in and work meticulously, mowing and trimming edges, pruning and weeding, fertilizing plants and taking care of routine upkeep. Additionally, we take special care when faced with extreme weather to make sure that plants and irrigation systems are safe through freezes, heaving rains and other harsh conditions.
We believe that an expertly designed landscape is just as valuable as a gorgeous interior. If you’re ready to expand your landscape horizons, we’re here for you. Reach out to our team of landscape architects to learn more about how we can transform your landscape in the New Year.
