LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Landscape architecture and land planning is a multi-disciplinary field, incorporating aspects of: botany, horticulture, the fine arts, architecture, green building design, geology, environmental psychology, and ecology. Our Landscape architects work on all types of structures and external spaces. Our landscape architectural services include land planning, land development, and green building practices. The most valuable contribution that our landscape architects make are at the first stages of a project, to generate ideas with technical understanding and creative flair for the design, organization, and use of spaces.

Whether your project involves land planning, land development, or private residential garden design, our landscape architects follow a systematic approach to the design process outlined below:

At KDG, our landscape architects follow a systematic approach to the design process outlined below:

Schematic Design: The development of preliminary and conceptual designs. Establishes the general concept of the design and discusses a broad cost estimate.

Design Development: Resolves details of the major design issues and provides cost predictions calculated using this detailed information. This is most helpful when trying to compare green building versus standard construction practices.

Construction Documentation: Layout Plans, Irrigation Plans, Planting Plans, Construction Details, and Specifications. CD’s are useful in gaining permits, obtaining land development building and installation costs, and completing construction.

Construction Observation & Administration: Provides ongoing supervision of numerous phases of your project, including contracts, progress payments, monitoring of variations and changes, observation for possible defects and liabilities..
