    SURROUNDS Landscape Architecture + Construction
    Site Planning Companies
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 14, 2013
    “I hired Chad at Surrounds, because I was looking for someone who could transform our backyard into another area for entertaining. We trusted him. He worked closely with us to present and modify the designs. He let us know when things would not work. We wanted a football field for the kids, as well as covered porch for the back and stone patio /fireplace or the fall. The landscaping was to tastefully hide our close neighbors and provide a southern style charm with year round color and lots of green texture. It is gorgeous on all counts. They flattened the yard and stonework is perfect. We love it.”

    “The crew came out and did a great job pulling out and replanting the foundation planting at my home. The pulled out 7 old azaleas and 3 newer ones, The 3 they replanted in another area for me. The new planting was done quickly and all the material appears to be doing great. The Paperbark Maple is of excellent quality and well shaped. The crew was courteous and polite. The nandinas and hydrangeas used in the new planting were of excellent quality and size. This was not contractor grade material, true nursery stock quality.”

    “Don is a creative landscape architect that my wife and I have found to be resourceful and diligent in planning our backyard pool, patio, hot tub, deck and golf green. He spent time with us upfront to understand our needs and although the plan grew in scope as we became more aware of what our backyard could become, we are very happy with the result! ”
    Kristen Rudger Landscape Design
    Site Planning Companies
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 12, 2013
    “Kristen designed a beautiful makeover for our yard - front, back and sides. She asked lots of questions before designing anything - what we wanted (pavers, pretty flowers), what we didn't want (water feature, yellow flowers) and in general, how we wanted to use our yard. She came up with lovely, detailed plans for a traditional looking garden (with our traditional looking house) - that were revised slightly with discussion, then found a couple of contractors to bid on the work. She supervised the work of the one we chose, making sure they followed the plans. She recommended a new gardner - good choice. About a year later she replaced the few plants that hadn't made it (for no charge), and now almost two years later the place is absolutely beautiful! I can't tell you how many complements we have received ever since the job was originally completed - and they continue to this day!”

    Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
    The duration of a typical site planning project varies based on complexity, size, and specific homeowner requirements. Preliminary phases like consultation, site analysis, and design proposals can take several weeks to a few months. The approval process with local authorities may add additional time. On average, a comprehensive site planning project can take anywhere from 6 months to over a year from initial consultation to final approval.
    Site Planning Companies stay abreast of the latest materials and design trends to offer homeowners innovative and sustainable options. Popular trends include the use of native plants for landscaping, permeable paving materials for better water management, and energy-efficient lighting. The selection of materials often considers durability, maintenance, environmental impact, and aesthetics to align with the homeownerʼs lifestyle and values.
    Before engaging a Site Planning Company, homeowners should clarify their vision, budget, and timeline. Collecting inspiration, such as photos or examples of preferred designs, can facilitate communication. Understanding local zoning regulations and identifying potential constraints on the property, like easements or flood zones, prepares homeowners for a more productive initial consultation. Securing a site survey of the property is also advisable.
    Common challenges in site planning include navigating zoning regulations, managing project costs, and adapting to site constraints. Experienced Site Planning Companies employ strategic planning, expertise in local laws, and creative problem-solving to address these issues. Effective communication between the homeowner and the planning team is crucial for setting realistic expectations and finding viable solutions.
    A reputable Site Planning Company should possess relevant credentials, including professional licenses in landscape architecture or civil engineering, depending on the jurisdiction. Certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accreditation can indicate expertise in sustainable design. Membership in professional organizations like the ASLA signifies adherence to industry standards and a commitment to continuous learning.
    Homeowners should openly discuss their budget with the Site Planning Company during the initial consultation. Setting clear expectations and priorities, along with a contingency fund for unexpected costs, helps in managing the budget. Requesting a detailed proposal and contract can provide transparency on costs and deliverables. Regular communication and progress reviews allow homeowners to make informed decisions and adjust plans as needed to stay within budget.
