Earth & Spirit's Design Process
Earth & Spirit offers you personalized care from a dedicated landscape designer along with the ease of online service.
1
ENVISION
In a video consultation, you and your designer can get acquainted while you show them around the property and discuss your needs and vision for your future garden. Within 24 hours you will receive a quote for design services.
2
DESIGN
With the aid of your personal photos and satellite imagery, the designer will be able to note the unique qualities and measurements of your property and begin designing your garden. A check-in midway through helps ensure plant and hardscape choices are to your liking.

REVIEW
Within 2-4 weeks you will receive your formally drafted Landscape Design Plan along with color photo collages of the plant and hardscape choices and a list with detailed information about each plant and how to care for it.
