Services

Scale Design Collaborative is a full-service design, installation, and maintenance company. Whether you need a creative solution to a landscaping problem or just want a lawn that doesn’t make you yawn, we’ll create an outdoor environment that is functional, beautiful, and sustainable for you and your community.

  • We begin each design and installation project with an on-site consultation. We will spend time studying the environment of your space and listening to your vision for how you want to use and live in it. From there, we will work with you to develop a project plan that reflects your space, goals, and budget. (Please note that we charge a nominal fee for a consultation, which can be credited toward the price of a design.)

  • After our initial consultation, we will develop a design concept that is informed by your story and the environmental and landscaping needs of your space. Each design includes a full plant and/or material palette that allows you to visualize your finished space. It also includes a planting schedule and plan that explains how to properly care for your plants. Before we finalize the design, we meet with you again to talk through the concept and make any changes or answer any questions you may have.

  • Once you have approved the design, we will finalize the budget and timeline for installation. Every installation is led by the designer himself to ensure that your vision is fully realized and your space and the environment receive the care and respect they deserve. Installations may include the following services:   

    • Land grading
