Design plan consultation

Welcome to the Porch!  We're excited to work with you on your project.

Here, you'll find general background and suggested prep for your upcoming design consultation. 

​This is fairly general and there may be some specifics that do  not apply to you, or that are  not called out here.  We will notify you via email if that is the case.  Either way, this will get the juices flowing for a fun and productive session!

Let's get started...

​what is a design plan consult?

​Our goal in this consultation is to learn about your lifestyle needs and goals with respect to your home and garden design.  We will work through specific topics & questions in the course of 2 hours so that we can deliver a clear, personalized, and doable design plan for you.  You will also receive a suggested path of steps, in priority order, to take to achieve your lifestyle and design goals.

Think of it as a framework that can guide you through the process.
​
The design plan will be in the form of a document that you may keep and refer to and it will be delivered to you within a week or so after our session.  You will have a set of clear guidelines and considerations to use as your guiding principles as you begin to work to your ultimate dream.  Use it as a checklist on your own, or use it as a menu of options to schedule future one-on-one design consultations.  

You tackle the project we layout on your own, or with us by your side.  You decide.
