When you start a landscaping or outdoor living project, you should be able to move forward with complete trust in the landscape designer and construction team you have hired to bring your outdoor dreams to life. At Dutchies Stoneworks & Outdoor Living, we earn that trust by creating an experience as solid as our stonework.
Our landscape design and installation process in the West Chester, Pennsylvania, area is based on hospitality-inspired client care:
From your initial inquiry to those finishing touches on your landscape and beyond, your West Chester project is in good hands. We are passionate about our work, which is not just a finished landscape. It is the entire experience that leads to it.
Fill out our contact form to schedule an exploratory call, meet our landscape designer, and learn more about our simple, enjoyable process.
We first strive to ensure we are the right fit for your project. If so, we proceed with a process that prioritizes efficiency, transparency, and client satisfaction:
Fill out our contact form to tell us more about your vision and landscaping needs. You will have the opportunity to schedule a 15-minute call at your convenience, and we will send you more information so you can prepare for our conversation. Check out our budgeting guide to get a sense of what is possible with your investment.
Discuss your options for plants and hardscaping materials, placement of features, and budget considerations with our Project Strategist. This is a great time to ask questions so you can feel confident in your decision to proceed with us.
At your convenience, you will meet with one of our owners for an hour to review your outdoor space. We will take pictures and measurements and offer recommendations based on our experience and your ideas. The $179 fee for this consultation is credited back to you upon the agreement signing.
Typically within one week of your onsite consultation (or within two weeks for larger projects), we will meet with you on your property to review the 2D renderings, making it easier for you to visualize the completed project. 3D renderings are also available for an additional cost. At this meeting we will discuss a price range for your complete landscape.
For larger projects, we meet again to review and finalize the design and help you make your material selections. You will approve every detail, and we will make any necessary revisions to ensure the plan meets your needs and expectations.
When you are thrilled with your design, you will receive a detailed quote, sign the agreement, and make a deposit. We will review your payment plan with you so you know what to expect as we proceed, and your project will be added to our construction calendar.
Two weeks before we start the installation, you will meet your Project Manager and crew leader. You can expect the team to work with respect for your property and the entire neighborhood, and they will leave the site clean each day. Your Project Manager will be your primary point of contact, and you are welcome to reach out at any point with questions and concerns.
You are invited to take a walk with us through the finished project to make sure you are satisfied with every detail. We will share all the details of the manufacturer’s warranties on your hardscaping and the five-year warranty on our craftsmanship. This is also when we will collect your final payment.
Like the landscape itself, we are with you for the long haul. After one year, we will return to make sure the work is holding up and see if you have any questions or concerns.
We have a passion for creating a positive experience and a lasting landscape—and we appreciate it when our clients notice our commitment to our craft and attention to detail. Visit our Testimonials page to learn more about what it is like to work with us.
