During the consultation we will establish the site’s potential and drawbacks as well as your needs, uses and goals for the space. We will discuss design, installation and maintenance options and their associated costs in order to determine the next step. There’s a $95 fee for all consultations.

Based on what was discussed during the consultation, an estimate outlining the work and cost will be emailed to you. Below are examples of costs typically associated with the small to medium sized project in which we specialize;

• Design Service estimates typically range from $800-$4000 depending on the complexity of the site.

• Installation Service estimates range from $500 to $15,000 depending on project duration and material selection.

• Ongoing Maintenance Service estimates typically come to $400-$5000 on a monthly basis for residential and commercial sites. Personalized Maintenance Lessons are $140/hr.

If you have any questions or concerns they will be resolved and the estimate will be revised.

If you chose to move forward, you will be sent a simple service agreement to sign and a deposit may be required. Your service will then be added to the schedule!
