Construction Philosophy
Sanctuary Landscape Design Landscape Design believes in the importance of taking a project from design through construction. No design on paper is good enough to anticipate every issue that may arise during the construction and installation process. Much of the fine tuning of a design takes place during the final construction and installation. The exact positioning of trees, shrubs, and boulders, or the exact meander of stream or a path makes the difference between an ordinary landscape and an inspired one. Often previously unrecognized opportunities become evident during construction. With the designer involved during the construction phase, these previously unknown opportunities can be realized. Conversely, during construction previously unrecognized restrictions can arise. Again, with the designer still involved, these problems can be resolved in a way that maintains the original design integrity. To this end, Sanctuary Landscape Design Landscape Design provides both design and project management services.
Having skilled contractors who are also sensitive to the design intent is essential to executing a landscape installation that reaches its fullest potential. Sanctuary Landscape Design has established working relationships with just such high quality contractors for planting, irrigation, masonry, pool construction, and all the other trades needed to deliver a superior landscape.
Sanctuary is committed to transparency in the costs of all designs. As a separate consultant contracted directly with the client, Sanctuary does not markup any construction costs.
