Digital modeling provides a multi-perspective visulization tool, that enhances decision-making. This image from a digital model showcases a thoughtfully designed outdoor living space, highlighting the features that contribute to its aesthetic and function.

These blueprints of a landscape design indicate the placement of every plant or landscape feature of the project. Planting plans can be produced digitally or by hand. This technical planting plan was thoughtfully designed based on the conceptual drawing at left.

A plant schedule is a key tool in landscape design that outlines specific plants for a project, including common and scientific names. It details the quantity of each plant, aiding effective planning and execution. Plant height and spread are included for proper spacing. Bloom time and color information ensure a coordinated, appealing display year-round.

Garden Coaching helps homeowners install plants with inspiration and technical knowledge. It can be a one-time consultation or ongoing coaching to complete a project. Coaching can include site preparation, plant selection and placement, and plant maintenance. This is for a homeowner that wants to effectively project-manage a design from start to finish.

Installation is the final step of the design phase, bringing all the carefully planned elements to life. There are various options for installation. In this instance, Stuart installed this entry-way garden, adding elegance and character to the landscape. The homeowner later filled in the area with additional plants.

Stuart applies his award-winning landscape photography skills, combined with exceptional technical writing ability, to create professionally assembled graphic presentations for web or print layouts using industry-standard Adobe design software.
