What if I don’t like your plan- Do I still have to pay your fee?

 

At Bold City Irrigation & Landscaping, Inc., it is practically impossible to go through the entire design process and produce a plan that the customer does not like. The reason for this  is that the design process cannot go forward without constant input and effective communication between the designer and the client. The preliminary drawings, plans produced during the design process are based on existing site conditions and information given to the designer by the client. The design process would never get beyond the preliminary plan stage without the approval of the client. The preliminary plan stage is where any remaining problems are resolved. The final plan is based on preliminary plans (modified, or not) which have been approved by the client.

 

I want to install the landscape myself. Will you do the design work?

 

Yes, we will charge you for the design and consultation fees. But generally, we believe that the best landscapes are designed and built by the same responsible party. We think this continuity is important. Our entire company is set up to manage a project from the beginning to end.

 

What is the average cost of a landscape?

 

There is no such thing. Landscaping is personal. Some people invest nothing in their landscape while others invest great amounts. However, from a real estate point of view, if a homeowner invests less than five percent of the value of their house on landscape development, then they are probably not doing it justice. A landscape investment will probably not significantly affect the resale value of a house unless it approaches ten percent of the value of the house. Landscapes involving outdoor living area, water features, seasonal gardens, and various other landscape elements obviously represent much greater investments by their owners.
