Let’s Create Something Beautiful together
Design Consultations
Dream | Design | Create
Whether you’re new to landscaping and gardening or an avid landscaping aficionado, a landscape consultation is a great investment in your property to see your vision become a reality!
At Mattis, we customize our landscaping services to meet your specific desires and goals. We design, build, install. We also design and install irrigation systems, hardscape and drainage.
Landscaping has been our business for over two decades and the landscape designers at Mattis Landscaping, Inc have the knowledge and experience to help you to achieve your vision and beautify your landscape.
Let’s start the design process…
At Mattis Landscaping we work with our clients to dream, design and create an outdoor environment that is thoughtful, sustainable, and within their budget. Here are a few details and questions we often get asked.
-
Your Landscaping Consultation is free of charge.
-
A Mattis designer who meets with you on-site at your property and spends up to an hour to understand your landscaping wants and needs.
Following your consultation, rough drawings will be provided by email and are generally sketched on photos taken from the site visit. These sketches will be received by email within 10 business days.
We can also provide professional horticulture advice on many landscape items such as plant/tree identification, pruning, soil questions, and drainage issues. Please be prepared to take notes.
-
You can decide to contract with Mattis Landscaping to do the installation, or you can use the sketches and planting options to move forward with a DIY installation.
If you decide to contract with Mattis to do the installation you can request changes and modifications to the proposed design and your Mattis Designer will furnish you with a formal estimate.
Once you accept the estimate, you will pay 50% up-front and the remaining 50% upon completion of the project.
After you have confirmed and paid you will get an approximate date for the installation. We are typically 6-8 weeks out depending on weather and other projects.
-
For budgeting purposes, a typical installation or enhancement project starts at $3,500. From that point, it depends on the wants and needs of the client and the design that is being installed!
-
If in the landscape design process, you decide you would like to proceed with a landscape installation, the designer can meet you at one of the garden centers we utilize to source our plant material. The purpose would be to review ideas, view plant suggestions and provide an estimate. (this is a secondary appointment from the initial consultation.)
On larger scale projects, such as more extensive master plans either hand drawn on graph paper or produced via AutoCad will require additional design time. With your authorization we will bill additional design hours at $85/design hour. Ask your landscape designer for further details.
We can provide an Autocad drawing of your design for an additional $1250 for lots under .75 acres. An AutoCad drawing will require that you furnish Mattis Landscaping with a PDF version of your lot plat map. A plat map is a survey that is often included when you buy a house. A plat map shows the legal boundaries of where your property starts and stops. It is drawn to scale and records the land’s size, boundary locations, nearby streets, flood zones, wetlands, and any easements or rights of way. If you do not have a plat map we can get one for you from a professional surveyor for $1,000.
Get the most out of your Design Consultation
To maximize your design consultation hour, here are some things to think about before your appointment:
What is the most crucial area or areas of need in my landscape?
What is my budget? —This helps in prioritizing projects and the best design to meet your budget. A typical install starts at $3,500.
What are the lighting conditions? — What type of sun do these areas get during summer months?
What are the irrigation needs for your project?
Are there favorite plants or colors you would like to incorporate?
How much turf/lawn vs. planting beds do you want?
If you’re looking for a hardscape or patio, let us know your preferred materials: Stones, boulders, gravel, pavers, flagstone, etc.
