Design, Build, Renovate
Assessment
Our Design, Build & Renovate (DBR) service begins with an assessment. This assessment, including an on-site visit to the garden with your designer, photos and a ballpark estimate, is $100CAD plus tax. The consultation fee becomes a credit on your implementation project. We focus on low-maintenance, drought resistant choices, innovative colour-blocking techniques, succession of bloom using long-blooming, repeat blooming flowering shrubs and perennials, evergreens and ornamental trees. We also specialize in making suggestions and implementing steps toward beautifying your garden accents and improving your hardscaping.
We do our best to reuse existing materials and recycle all plastic pots in an effort to be environmentally conscious.
Design Review
Usually within one week, your garden designer creates a detailed plan of the design. Sketches include plant lists and photos. A deposit of an additional 25% is required once the Design Review is approved.
Implementation
During implementation, we start on the day we tell you (weather permitting), tidy up everyday and keep you informed at every step of the process of our progress. Any changes that exceed the estimate require a documented change order from our team. Final payment is required the day the project is completed and must be guaranteed with a credit card.
Warranty
Plants are guaranteed until the end of the current growing season. If Kate’s Garden is responsible for Fine Gardening on at least a bi-weekly basis including Spring Clean Up and Fall Garden to Bed, plants are guaranteed for one year.
Before & After
“We are extremely happy with the design and workmanship - you created a real backyard oasis for us.”
“A big thanks to you and you crew for everything you did while you were here. It far exceeded our expectations and we learned so much. Your crew was polite, respectful, fun to be around and most of all very patient teachers. It was a great day for us. Please put us in the line up next spring for soil ammendment and mulching. We look forward to it.”
“Just a short note to thank Matt and the team for the great work they did in fixing up our driveway and patios. In every respect, from beginning to end, the work was done professionally, courteously and on time. We love our ‘new’ hard landscaping, and without reservation we would recommend Matt and the team to anyone.
Thanks again for a job well done.”
