THE DESIGN PROCESS

The design process begins with a meeting at your home.  Plans for your patio will ultimately be derived from 3 sources;

SOURCE #1 -   The Environment

 

The site is evaluated and information is gathered.  Many factors influence the design of your patio;

 

* Sun Exposure

* Drainage conditions

* Sight lines from the patio as well as inside the house

* Measurements and pictures are taken

 

 

SOURCE #2 -   The Most Important -  YOU

 

Through a short, relaxed conversation while browsing catalogs of pictures, we can talk about your dreams and visions when you think about your future patio. Input from you is important;

 

* How many people live in the house and are they adults, children or seniors

* How will the patio be used, traffic patterns, cooking out, sun bathing, etc.

* Do you plan to entertain often, extended family, friends, business

* What are some design elements that you know you want to see

* Just as importantly, what do you know you don't want to see

 

SOURCE #3 -  Professional Design Experience

 

Design elements such as balance, proportion and scale along with size, texture and color will be discussed.  With the information gathered, Rich, using his 30 years of experience,  will design a patio specifically with your personal likes and desires combined with your unique back yard environment to achieve the patio of your dreams.

Rich will then meet with you and review with you the plans, full size, hand drawn to scale.  Rich will fully discuss with you, the installation process, paver styles and colors, lighting, and landscaping around your patio as well as pricing.  So before you make a decision, you will have all the information you need to make the right decision for you.
