Dallas Outdoor Kitchens and Hardscape offers design services for Hardscape & Landscape. We have two landscape architects on staff that can meet with you to discuss your project and create a unique design for your outdoor living area. Both of our landscape architects have degrees in landscaping and each has more than 10 years of experience in this field.
We have more than 25 years of experience in design, sales, & construction of outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, concrete construction, retaining walls, landscaping, pergolas, patio covers, swimming pools, and paver installation. During that time we have produced more than 3000 drawings and have been involved in constructing more than 700 residential & commercial projects.
Our fees for design and consulting services are as follows:
- Consultation at your home, office, or jobsite: $100.00 for first hour, additional hours are $75.00 per hour.
- 2D or 3D Design work by computer or by hand drawings: $75.00 per hour with a four-hour minimum charge. Initial design fee is due and payable by check at first meeting with the landscape architect, additional fees may apply if the project changes in scope, size, difficulty, or materials.
- Changes to designs after our initial creation can be done at any time based on $75.00 per hour with a one hour minimum.
- Engineering services can be provided from a licensed engineer on an as needed basis with costs based on the complexity of the project. Generally these will start at a minimum charge of $350 or more.
Our Process: To determine how long an individual project will take to design we first need to sit down with the client face to face and gain a full understanding of what they wish to create. In most cases we will need to visit the area where the construction will take place to see firsthand the elevation and lay of the land and take into account water drainage, existing construction, easements, setback requirements, etc. In order to ascertain these items we will need a photocopy of the survey or site plan of your property where the construction will take place. Only after we gather all the information we need can we determine how complex the design work will be.
Next we will give an estimate to the client of approximately how long we think a particular project would take to design. If the estimate is acceptable we will each sign a contract for the project, collect payment in full, and give an approximate delivery date for initial design.
Delivery Method: Once the design has been completed we will either hand deliver drawings or save them digitally and send by email, US mail, or other delivery service based on the clients preference. Additional shipping or delivery charges will apply based on method of delivery, distance to travel, etc. Drawings can be produced both digitally and/or on different sizes of paper, both in color or black and white. Digital drawings are usually created as Adobe PDF files but in some cases can be saved or exported as JPEG or AutoCad files. Digital drawings can be saved to CD, DVD, flash drive or any other form of digital media.
