How frequently do you catch yourself daydreaming about your ideal outdoor living space addition, only to think, “if only I had an unlimited budget”? During our initial consultations with homeowners, a frequent sentiment we encounter is the belief that their dream outdoor living space is financially out of reach. This misconception is common, but at Project Landscape, we aim to dispel it. We understand the importance of realizing your ideal backyard without delay. To facilitate this, we offer a phased building program. This approach allows you to construct your outdoor living space in stages, aligning the project with your lifestyle and budget constraints. With this method, your perfect outdoor haven becomes an achievable reality, spread out over time to suit your financial comfort. This is how the phased building program works: Our process begins with a collaborative effort between you, the client, and our team, to conceptualize your dream backyard retreat. We put this vision onto paper, creating a plan that incorporates all the structures you envision in the design. With this comprehensive project design in hand, we then select phase one. Typically, this phase involves the part of the design that is nearest to the home. If your design includes an attached structure, starting here maximizes the structural integration of the entire space with your residence, ensuring a cohesive and stable design from the outset. Staging the Plan: Having a comprehensive “master plan” enables Project Landscape to meticulously handle the engineering, design, and construction details of your entire outdoor space, allowing for more efficient future additions or changes. This plan ensures that every phase of building prioritizes the structural integrity, traffic flow, and functionality of each segment of your outdoor area. Moreover, planning your backyard in advance leads to savings in both time and money, as it facilitates smoother coordination with any additional contractors you might need for the project, such as utility contractors, pool companies, or suppliers. For you as the homeowner, this approach of building your dream backyard in stages offers greater flexibility, making it more manageable for your budget and lifestyle. Breaking It down: Before starting any construction, we craft a comprehensive project job scope tailored for you, as is our standard practice for all clients, regardless of whether we’re building a single outdoor structure or a multifaceted outdoor space. This detailed outline is crucial as it provides a conceptual overview of your entire project, including a meticulous breakdown of the construction stages. We’ve found this approach invaluable for ensuring that no aspect is overlooked. In cases where your outdoor space includes multiple structures — like a combination of a deck, paving stone patio, and/or hardscape — each component will have its own specific set of specifications and materials list. This meticulous attention to detail is one of the many ways we strive to offer superior service and products to our clients. We maintain high standards to ensure that our customers are thoroughly informed at every stage of their project. This is particularly important for projects developed over time, allowing you to stay engaged and aware of the progress and nuances of your evolving outdoor space. Time to Enjoy: Opting for phased construction with Project Landscape means experiencing the excitement of a newly transformed backyard at each step of your dream outdoor living space’s creation. Similar to many of our phased projects, there’s often potential for future expansions, like adding a fire pit with seating or a pergola to your new deck or patio. Regardless of the combination or pairing of structures you select, once your project is complete, you’re sure to revel in the myriad of outdoor living pleasures it offers. If you envision a perfect backyard but aren’t ready to undertake the entire project at once, our phased building program is an ideal solution. We can progressively bring your dream outdoor space to life, one beautifully executed stage after another!
