Initial Site Visit A $60 fee is charged for all initial site visits and/or consultations. During this Site Visit, you will spend up to an hour with an experienced and certified professional who will evaluate your wants and needs and give you ideas on how to implement them into your landscape. An Information Packet will equip you with information on plant materials and the care of the landscape. For those visits under 1/2 hour, a charge of $30 is applicable.
Landscape Design Plans. Landscape plans are billed at $60 an hour. At your initial site visit, a Design Agreement will be discussed and proposed to you by the Designer, with an estimated cost. You can choose to proceed with a formal design or simply use the information you obtained during the initial site visit. If you do authorize the designer to proceed with a design, detailed drawings will be developed and presented in an appropriate scale for your project. Revisions will be made as needed to produce a final plan. A copy will be given to you upon payment for design services. Drawings are usually completed one to two weeks after the site visit.
Approximate design costs: Partial Yard/Planting Bed – $150.00; Half Yard – $200-$300; Full Yard – $400+
An estimate and proposal to have your project professionally installed by Knecht’s Nurseries & Landscaping will be prepared along with the landscape design plan. If you choose to do your own installation, your designer can assist you with obtaining the necessary plants and supplies, and getting them to your site.
Rebate of the fees for a landscape plan design:
- For landscape installation customers: Rebate of 50% of plan fee if installation is under $10,000. Rebate of 100% of plan fee if installation is over $10,000.
- For cash and carry customers: Gift certificates in increments of $25 will be given up to a total equalling 50% of plan cost.
