Garden Rooms etc designs are customized to fit your lifestyle, family and future. The process it takes to get to a design and installation, goes something like this:

  Walk and talk, pictures and measurements. Your family and Garden Rooms etc will take a stroll through what you have now and determine where you want to be. Slopes, patios, decks, water features, lawn, pergolas, allergies, dogs, cats, kids, how long will you be in this home etc., all will be discussed in this initial meeting. Also at this time, an inventory of existing plants to be saved or transplanted is taken as well as a soil sample for analysis.

  Plans are drawn, delivered, agreed to or revised as needed. You will receive a construction plat and a plant list and placement plat. If there are plantings, you will also receive pictures of mature plants, alternative plants, etc.

  Construction begins; Whether you are a DIYer or have hired a contractor, Garden Rooms etc can be on hand to guide the process. Materials (soil, compost, lumber, boulders, concrete, pavers etal) need to be delivered. Demolition debris removed, irrigation and lighting lines laid, rototiling, leveling, pushing, shoveling, scratching and clawing. It isn’t pretty!

  Plant purchasing and delivery is next. Now we can have some fun! The trees and shrubs go in, then the perennials and finally any lawn. Please remember that it appears that there are very few plants at this time but they will grow. On the plan everything is full, but the plants are drawn 2/3 to ¾ of mature growth.

  This is the time all of the ornaments and lights get put together. Yes, it is all worth the time and trouble. Sit back and enjoy!
