Landscape Design and Construction Services

Knecht’s Nurseries and Landscaping has experienced and certified landscape designers on staff and ready to help turn your landscape into the beautiful, functional and comfortable outdoor living space you’ve always dreamed of enjoying.  Here’s how the process works:

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 that 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 ½ 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. Upon acceptance of this agreement, 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 site visit.

Approximate design costs

Partial Yard/Planting Bed – $150.00;
Half Yard – $200-$300;
Full Yard – $400+

If requested, 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 the plan fee for installations under $10,000 – minimum installation of $2,000
    • Rebate of 100% of the plan fee for installations over $10,000.
  • For cash and carry customers:
    • $25 discount coupons will be given out that equal 50% of plan fee.

Project Coordination

Installation of your landscape project will be scheduled once you have accepted the Installation Proposal, executed the contract, and the down payment for the project has been received. The Designer will remain involved in your project throughout the entire planning and installation process.
