Sample Design Documents
Design documents vary dependent on the client's needs and the scope of the project, but typically, all designs include a landscape plan, planting plan, hydrozone plan and a set of full color plant documents.
All plans are prepared in the CAD program Vectorworks, which not only allows for precise measurements and documents that are easily read by you and your installer, but also makes it simple to make changes to the plans along the way.
For smaller projects, such as the example on this page, Susan creates a bound set of 11x17 documents, with drawings on one side and design notes on the facing page. Design notes are proprietary and are not displayed.
