Finalize Design

A final detailed drawing is completed and presented for final approval. In this stage, we can make any last changes before moving forward. Once the landscape plan and purchase order is finalized, we provide you with a copy for your records. A 30% down payment is required to start the installation, while the remaining 70% is due upon project completion.
