Transforming your backyard into a personal oasis shouldn’t be a stressful endeavor. At Jones Outdoors, we understand the desire for a seamless and enjoyable process, which is why we champion the design-build process. This integrated approach ensures your outdoor living dreams become a reality, from initial concept to final flourish, all under one roof. Forget juggling multiple contractors and enduring communication breakdowns; we streamline everything, delivering a cohesive and satisfying experience.

What is the Design-Build Process?

The design-build process is a project delivery method that combines the design and construction phases into a single, unified workflow. Instead of hiring separate design and construction teams, you work with one company that handles everything. This integrated approach fosters better communication, reduces potential errors, and ultimately leads to a more efficient and cost-effective project.

Essentially, it’s a one-stop shop for your outdoor living dreams, streamlining the complexities of landscaping projects. This method allows for greater flexibility and adaptability throughout the project, as the design and construction teams work in close collaboration.

At Jones Outdoors, we’ve honed our process to perfection, ensuring a smooth and transparent journey for our clients. We believe in clear communication and meticulous planning, guaranteeing your vision is brought to life exactly as you imagined.

Consultation

Laying the Foundation for Your Dream Yard

Every successful project starts with a solid foundation, and our process begins with a comprehensive consultation. This initial step is crucial for understanding your needs, desires, and aspirations for your outdoor space.

  • Open Dialogue: We prioritize open communication, encouraging you to share your ideas, inspirations, and even photos of spaces you admire. This allows us to gain a clear understanding of your vision.
  • Space Evaluation: If you have pictures of the space, we can begin to discuss the specifics of what we can do with the space that is allotted.
  • Budget Discussion: We understand that budget is a key consideration. During the consultation, we’ll provide a preliminary quote. However, we also encourage you to share your budget, enabling us to tailor the design to meet your financial parameters. We believe in creating beautiful spaces that are both functional and affordable.

Design

Crafting Your Personalized Outdoor Sanctuary

Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, our team of experienced designers takes the reins. This phase is where your vision truly begins to take shape.

  • Comprehensive Feature List: We meticulously document all the features you desire, ensuring every detail is captured. From patios and pergolas to water features and custom plantings, we leave no stone unturned.
  • Expert Design Team: Our team of top designers leverages their expertise to create a landscape design that perfectly balances aesthetics, functionality, and your budget.
  • Iterative Collaboration: We believe in collaborative design. You’ll receive detailed landscape design ideas, and we encourage your feedback and suggestions. We understand that a landscape renovation is a significant investment, and we strive to create a space that you’ll love for years to come.
  • Approval and Refinement: We work closely with you until you’re completely satisfied with the design. Your approval is paramount before we proceed to the next stage.
