Landscape Architecture Consulting Services

SKLA provides comprehensive land planning, design consultation, and construction services to streamline your project. These services include:

Careful planning is the foundation of a successful landscape project. We begin your project by listening to you to understand your project goals and any other considerations. We’ll assist you to define clear objectives, identify potential challenges, and understand the specific requirements of your project. With a thorough understanding of these elements, we formulate a comprehensive game plan that guides the project from concept to completion. These services include preparing application materials to satisfying jurisdictional requirements for project entitlements and permitting.

Choosing the right team is crucial for the success of your landscape project. Steve Kovanis has built outstanding relationships with local architects, engineers, and contractors, ensuring you have access to top-tier professionals who will bring your vision to life. We coordinate with these experts to ensure that every aspect of your project aligns with your goals and expectations.

We’ll prepare preliminary plans to review with you for initial reaction and feedback. Upon receipt of your thoughts and preferences, we will refine the landscape concept through a design development phase. Materials, construction costs, and other factors will influence the design direction and narrow the focus. This phase of design typically leads to an overall landscape master plan or preparation of other landscape exhibits utilized for planning department submittals.

SKLA will prepare detailed construction plans for contractor bidding and securing for building permits. Plans may include:

• Site Layout & Materials Plan
• Construction Details
• Planting Plan
• Irrigation Plan
• Lighting Plan
• Specifications

Navigating the complexities of jurisdictional approvals can be challenging, but we’re here to make the process easier. We initiate dialogue with planning staff and other relevant departments to clarify specific project requirements and ensure that all necessary approvals are secured. This step prevents delays and ensures your project adheres to all regulations.

At Steve Kovanis Landscape Architect, our project planning services are designed to provide you with the confidence and clarity needed to bring your landscape vision to life. From selecting the right team to managing timelines, costs, and approvals, we’re committed to delivering a seamless and successful project.
