Vinlandsverket

Vinlandsverket offers affordable landscape design services intended for property owners who desire a thoughtful and integrated landscape design solution, but who cannot or do not wish to pay for the full breadth of standard landscape architectural services. The best way to think of a Vinlandsverket design is in terms of the 80-20 rule: a project of any sort can reach 80% completion using just the first 20% of time and effort. To bring the project to 100% completion requires the remaining 80% of time and effort. In the case of landscape design, this principle equates to a focus on the overall concept of the design and its layout and materials. It reduces or eliminates the very fine-grain level of detailing that typically happens in the later stages of the project that tend to consume a lot of time and thus drive up the cost of the design fee. It also eliminates the expensive and time-consuming renderings (pretty pictures) typically used to simply convince the client to pursue and pay for a given design. The point is that custom design is cost prohibitive to most home owners, but it doesn’t need to be if the right set of strategies are utilized. Vinlandsverket is located in Maine and offers free initial consultations and site visits throughout the state and neighboring New Hampshire. It also offers online/distance landscape design services throughout the country.
