A clear way forward.
What to expect from the first conversation.
- 01
Walk the site
Understand the space and its conditions.
- 02
Choose a direction
Layout, material and how the area will be used.
- 03
Define the build
Preparation, scope and a project proposal.
A few things worth asking.
Can I compare materials before deciding?
Yes. Discuss appearance, care, availability and suitability for the planned use.
Does the estimate include drainage and preparation?
Ask for those items to be clearly addressed in the written scope. Requirements vary by site.
Are permits ever needed?
Requirements depend on the location and type of project. Confirm the applicable approvals before work begins.
Patios
Make a place to gather outside.
The layout considers access, furniture, drainage and the surrounding landscape. Material and construction details are confirmed in the proposal.
Request an estimate
Before the next step.
Use the first conversation to discuss your priorities, the proposed scope and any information needed for an assessment. Availability, terms and professional qualifications must be confirmed directly.
