  1. Dig deeper – We ask questions about your lifestyle, needs, style preferences and budget.
     
  2. Design your ideal space – We develop a custom concept, then refine it with you using plans and 3D digital models.
     
  3. See your design come to life – Our construction team builds the project to the agreed design and craftsmanship standards.
     
• Q13. What happens during the initial consultation?

  At your first consultation—either on site or via a short Zoom call—you’ll talk through your goals, priorities, budget range and timeline with a member of our design team. We’ll review your existing space, discuss what’s working and what isn’t, and outline next steps so you know exactly how the process works. (vandenberglandscapes.com)

• Q14. Do you offer virtual consultations?
  Yes. You can book a complimentary 15-minute Zoom call with Matt Vandenberg to clarify design direction, budget and timing before committing to a full design package. (vandenberglandscapes.com)
• Q15. Will I be involved in the design process?

   Very much so. We believe you should be involved from start to finish—reviewing ideas, providing feedback and helping make final choices, so the finished landscape genuinely feels like “you.” (vandenberglandscapes.com)

• Q16. Do you use 3D designs or digital models?

  Yes. We use 3D digital models and detailed plans to help you visualize how your new outdoor space will look and feel before construction begins. (vandenberglandscapes.com)

• Q17. Can you work with an existing landscape design?

   If you already have plans from another designer or architect, we’re happy to review them. We’ll confirm feasibility, make suggestions where needed and provide construction pricing based on the approved design.

• Q18. How long does the design phase usually take?

  Depending on the size and complexity of your property, the design phase typically takes several weeks from initial consultation to final, approved plans. This includes time for revisions, material selections and 3D reviews.
