As an AI language model, I don't have personal experience in developing a landscape design, but here is the general process:
1. Initial consultation: Landscape designers meet with clients to discuss their ideas, goals, and budget. They also assess the property and evaluate its features, such as the soil, existing plants, and topography.
2. Site analysis: The designer conducts a thorough site analysis, which involves taking measurements, noting the contours and slopes of the land, and identifying any features that need to be removed or preserved.
3. Design concept: Based on the client's input and the site analysis, the designer develops a concept for the landscape design. This includes identifying major elements such as hardscapes, water features, and plantings.
4. Garden layout and design: The designer creates detailed sketches or computer-generated plans that provide a clear view of the proposed design. These plans may include specified plant and material lists, drainage schematics and detailed soil analysis.
5. Design revisions: The designer reviews the plans with the client, making any necessary revisions until the final design is agreed upon.
6. Installation: Once the design is finalized, it's time to start installing the landscape. The designer supervises the work, making sure that the design is implemented correctly and following up with the client.
7. Post-installation care: Once the landscape is installed, the designer may provide instructions on how to care for the plants and hardscapes. Some may continue to be involved in the maintenance and care of the new garden.
