Beautiful, well thought out plans never just happen. Working with creative and experienced professional designers and trades people is the ticket to success in creating an outstanding landscape project. The pricing structures included in the Contract Servicing area are meant only as a guideline to pricing a landscape architecture project. It is of utmost importance to communicate projected needs and budgets, to assure all needs are met. Complexity of the job, where it is located, and client needs all play into price structuring.

Landscape Solutions believes strongly in charging for design time, unless other options are discussed at the onset of the project. We are here to assist and create for our clients outstanding designs that exceed needs by growing more beautiful each year, as well as save money in maintenance, plant replacements, and water.
