Shaping Spaces + Inspiring Environments

Although the design process is iterative, the first phase of a project is always to understand your needs and goals as the client. The overall vision is clarified and refined in this phase as general expectations and desires are articulated. Asking the right questions at this point is imperative to success. This is how the endless possibilities for your landscape are narrowed down to arrive at a design plan that is right for your project and budget.

Design Development is where your project is now taking real form as we develop your chosen design direction and guide you through a series of decisions. The first part of this step is to take the overall look of the concept to the next level of refinement. We then delve into the details and layout and hone in on finish treatments and material selections.

Construction Documentation is the final design step within the project delivery model. This stage focuses on finalizing a set of comprehensive drawings and specifications for landscape components. These components form the basis for the project’s building permit application and approval process. Regardless of the scale of your project, Jack Haley offers all turn-key services needed to complete your project from concept through permitting, and construction through maintenance.

Once construction begins you’ll start to see big changes in very little time. Demolition is the first phase, and the most noticeable. The transformation continues as our crews begin hardscape work, followed closely by any large plantings like trees or shrubs. You’ll begin to see decks and patios take shape and realize the shape and outline of your outdoor living areas. Landscape details come last and require a lot of work. During this stage, we’ll install lights, plant ground cover, and add other features that make your landscape a finished living space.

In truth, landscapes don’t take kindly to being frozen in time. They prefer to be dynamic, ever-changing environments in which the living elements respond to natural biological processes as they grow and mature.
