Four Steps to Designing Your Outdoor Project
Is your backyard ready for the summer months ahead? When you look outside do you see a tired, old yard that needs spruced up? Then keep reading! Vive Exterior Design are experts at master planning and are ready to take on your project with a solid design. Even if you consider your project a phased process, Vive is prepared to plan ahead so you don’t have to tear up phase one to complete phase three.
THE TEAM AT VIVE FOLLOWS A FOUR-STEP PROCESS TO CREATE A CUSTOMIZED MASTER PLAN FOR YOU:
- Vive gathers an outline of your wants and needs to fully understand the elements of your project. What are you looking to incorporate in your exterior design? A pool, hot tub, pergola, water feature, outdoor kitchen, fire pit?
- Vive goes to the drawing board with their design team to work through questions like; how do we best fit the client’s needs into the space, do we need to expand beyond the current scape, what do we need to prepare?
- Next up is the master plan for your design. Within the master plan, Vive considers the scope, budget and if the project should be completed in phases. There’s a very specific process to Vive’s master planning where they incorporate the necessary elements in the beginning such as electrical and drainage.
- If your design includes a pool project, many clients will prepare for such in phases, but the Vive experts know what needs to be done before or after the pool goes in. Anywhere from a future access point to the overall design, Vive is dedicated to making each phase fit into the master plan.
