Design Plan

Here's the preliminary design that Karen prepared for us. She did a great job in addressing all of our wants. However, we hade a budget in mind and sadly, we could not incorporate as much of the plan as we would have liked.



Karen envisioned a low wall where we could sit by the firepit. Around the entire path was flagstone stepping stones. She incorporated a large dining area and another area for a swinging seat. Very nice!

Plus One Landscape



I solicited a number of companies to give us estimates for the backyard work. Most of the other companies gave us ballpark numbers and were unable to provide any design advice. Karen from Plus One Landscape, came out to meet with us several times and even submitted a design plan for our review. Karen gave us some addresses of jobs that they worked on recently and we went to view the work. While visiting one of the past jobs, the homeowner came out to chat about the work that was done. He was most pleased with their detail and professionalism.
