Introductory Call
We begin with an in-depth conversation about your property, goals, project scope, timing, and budget. It gives us both an opportunity to determine whether Stone Post is the right fit.
Landscape Design
Our process brings observation, imagination, and practical clarity together—so each design feels inevitable to its setting.
How it works
We begin with an in-depth conversation about your property, goals, project scope, timing, and budget. It gives us both an opportunity to determine whether Stone Post is the right fit.
Our first visit is a thoughtful working meeting focused on your lifestyle, priorities, and the possibilities of the site. The consultation fee is $100. If we agree to move forward, a design agreement is presented at the end of the meeting.
Often beginning the same day, we assemble an accurate base map using available surveys, property records, aerial imagery, and online sources—then verify relevant conditions on site. We study existing vegetation, architecture, hardscape, drainage, sun, wind, privacy, views, and movement through the property.
We present a clear initial direction for the landscape, supported by imagery, material ideas, and a preliminary plant palette. Variations are explored where they meaningfully improve the decision.
Your response helps shape the next round. We refine the layout, resolve details, and bring the strongest ideas into a cohesive plan that feels specific to you and the property.
You receive a detailed master plan and the supporting deliverables defined in your design agreement. Plant selections, hardscape, lighting, irrigation, installation estimating, phasing, and review-board assistance are included when appropriate to the project scope.
