In order to save you time and keep costs down, we kindly ask that you take at minimum 15 photos of your house and property so that we can properly design your landscape. If you are willing to take more, even better! The minimum shots we need are generally as follows:

• 3 to 4 photos of the front of your house in its entirety. Need to see roof lines as much as possible, need to see the yard.

• 2 side photos, one each side. This can be tricky depending how close you are to the house next to you, but do the best you can!

• 3 to 4 photos of the back of your house. Try to include the roof lines. Try to show details obstructed from overall view near the ground.

• 2 long shots of your back yard. Showing us where utilities are located is ideal.
• 1 or 2 shots of your detached garage if you have one.

On average, it can take approximately 20 to 30 photos to photograph your entire property and house to cover every detail. The more we can see, the more we can design! Since each house/property is unique, we’ll trust that you can provide us with what you think we’ll need. We won’t be shy though asking you for more if we need it.

If you can operate your smartphone and know how to upload or email photos, we know you’ll be just fine!

If you prefer or require, depending on location, we can send a photographer to your property to acquire these photos and to take a few measurements. This method, however, would require an additional fee and could potentially delay the process of your design by a couple weeks or more. Let us know if you’d like to use this service and we can quote you a price, depending on availability.
