Designing With Meaning...
As garden designers,
we are asked to paint a magical master piece in our minds and then present
them on a scale drawing for our clients. There are many questions that
should be asked when designing a garden. Perhaps one of the most fundamental
questions in landscape design is, after all, what is a garden? Most people
would immediately answer: an area devoted to plants. Indeed, the Miriam
Webster Dictionary's first definition is "a plot of ground where herbs,
fruits, flowers, or vegetables are cultivated." Yes that is true, but I
would like to think that there is more to a garden than that simple
explanation!
We feel a garden
defines the person you are! By all means we do not mean that you have to be
in your garden everyday; what we mean is how your garden presents itself
will show different characteristic with in you and family. Someone who loves
to take long walks through the mountains would probably create a meandering
path that takes you on a journey through their garden of perennials and
woodland areas. A family with children will have in there garden a
playground full of fun and hidden adventures. If designed right, a garden
will create many different feelings and emotions.
Our definition of
garden is "an inspirational masterpiece that will take you on a journey of
emotions."
Landscape Design Services
Our Design Team
The landscape design
process should be fun and exciting. At Windsor's, we strive to promote such
an experience by taking your wants, needs and desires for your garden and
molding them along with our artistic experience to create a masterpiece
ideal for your home and lifestyle.
Important first
impressions are made when you view a home from the outside. Good landscaping
not only adds beauty, but also adds value to your home. Attractive
characteristics can be enhanced during the landscape process and problem
areas can be disguised. Whether you own a new home or you are renovating an
older home, our design team is ready to assist you in all of your design and
installation needs.
The Design
Process
Step 1:
The first step is setting up an appointment to have Windsor's professional
design team meet at your home or other design site. There may be a travel
fee if the site is out of the Twin Falls area. You will be informed if this
applies to you when setting up the appointment. This fee must be paid at the
time the designers visit your home or site. The designers will get a feel of
the property and ask you questions relating to the project. Photos and
measurements will also be taken at this time. The designers will quote
you a price for the completing the design. If the bid is accepted, a
signature and deposit (if designer asks) will take place before the designer
begins the plan.
Step 2:
The second step is the pre-design phase. For this phase you will be asked to
come to the nursery and discuss your wants, hopes and needs. Much more
detailed questions will be asked during this phase.
Step 3:
The final step is the finished design. Once the design is complete, you will
be called to schedule an appointment for the final presentation at the
nursery. Once everything is designed to your liking, a copy will be made of
the design and given to you to keep. Payments will be due in full at this
time. Once the design is complete, you have several following options. You
can install the material yourself or you may choose to hire Windsor's
professional crews to handle the entire project. We also offer a a
combination of do-it-yourself and Windsor contracted labor. We are here to
help however we can.
Estimates
Windsor's does not
provide every type of landscape installation possible. Any landscaping that
you are interest in, we will provide you with a professional estimate of the
project. Regardless of how you complete your landscape project, the design
is yours to keep.
Savings
We have two ways to
help you with the overall cost of your design project. If you choose
Windsor's to install your complete job, we will take the price of the design
off your total cost. Windsor's also has a punch card system. For every $10
you spend, you receive one punch. After the 10th punch you get $10 off. I f
you decide to install the material yourself, we will give you and additional
5% off with your punch card. That is like getting 15% off your plant
material purchases. Does not apply to sale merchandise.
When you
Think Beauty, Think Windsor's!
