Fees

My unique design development techniques are the most efficient ever devised. My terms are very simple, with no fine print, or confusing language. We will formulate a landscape design program that suits your needs, compliments your home, and respects your budget. Please see Design Process for step by step details of my procedures, which are cost effective, but not necessarily your cheapest alternative. If we work online exclusively, you will save the travel time and expense.
1. Receive your plat via email, or US Post. I will scan, scale, print, and bring.	$100
2. minimum charge that includes *up to 3 hours including travel to you.*	$200
1+2 = Minimum design fee including preparation of your plat.	$300
Additional per hour charge (Including travel to you, consultations, design, computer drafting, and 3D modeling).	$70
DRIVE TIME I will drive up to 6 hrs one way from Athens, GA using mapquest for drive time. *No charge for return*.
OVERNIGHT- If I fly or drive 3+ hours to you, I need overnight accommodations including broadband Internet.
AIR TRAVEL 1st visit If you would like to estimate air fare to you, please use Atlanta International Airport (ATL) as my origin. I prefer to depart ATL no earlier than 10:30 AM, and fly non-stop to your airport. My return should be the evening of the second day. Our second day begins at 9:00 AM until we finish creating your ideal design. My design time and travel time to you are billable time. No charge for my return trip or time spent in the hotel, unless I am working on your project.
Design Online Is essentially the same except I may have to do more work in advance of our 1st meeting, which will save your time in our design meeting, but it will be more than offset by no travel time and expense. International clients have the option to call me, or reimburse me for the call. You don't have to pay anything in advance, but payment is expected at the conclusion of our first meeting, any subsequent meetings, and/or upon receipt of deliverables. I will do my best to spend your money as if it were my own, including giving you the advantage of my professional discounts and years of shopping via the Internet.
You may use this icon to make your payment with any major credit card.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT If your project is within 2hr drive from my office, and complex enough to justify my involvement, I'm happy to manage your project. I charge 20% of all related costs for small projects below $20k. For larger projects, my fee is only 15% for all direct and indirect costs including and travel expenses.
Design is more than drawing circles. It requires vision and expertise to bring all the various aspects together into a cohesive composition that works, is well crafted, and is aesthetically pleasing. I have designed projects all over the country including climate zones 2 thru 10 Sub Tropical to Arid. Atlantic to Pacific and the Indian Ocean. Keys to the Rockies. A summer villa in the mountains of Saudi Arabia, and an estate in Tanzania, Africa! Resume.
