When it comes to transforming an outdoor space, knowing what to expect can make the process smooth and enjoyable. At COVIS, we believe in transparency and keeping our clients involved every step of the way. Here’s a look at what a typical hardscape project with us looks like from start to finish, so you can feel confident in planning your dream outdoor space.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Vision Setting
Your project begins with an in-depth consultation. We’ll discuss your vision, lifestyle needs, and budget to align on your goals. Whether you envision a cozy stone patio, a sleek outdoor kitchen, or intricate pathways and retaining walls, this session sets the foundation for a successful project. Our team will also conduct a site assessment to evaluate the landscape’s topography and other conditions that could affect design and construction.
Step 2: Design and Material Selection
Based on your goals and the site assessment, we’ll present design concepts, helping you visualize how various elements will come together. We’ll suggest material options—from natural stone to concrete pavers—considering durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs. This collaborative design phase is essential in bringing your ideas to life while ensuring functionality.
Step 3: The Proposal and Project Planning
Once the design is finalized, we provide a detailed project proposal that includes timelines, materials, and costs. This transparent breakdown ensures you have a clear understanding of each phase and what to expect. After approval, we coordinate with our construction team to lock in timelines and organize logistics, including permits if necessary.
Step 4: Preparation and Site Preparation
With the plan in place, we prepare the site. This includes excavation, leveling, and preparing foundations or drainage systems as needed. We carefully protect surrounding landscaping and structures, so the rest of your yard remains untouched.
Step 5: Installation
This is where the magic happens! Our experienced team handles each installation phase meticulously, from laying the base materials and installing pavers to adding the finishing touches that bring the project together. Each step is done with precision to ensure lasting quality.
Step 6: Final Touches and Clean-Up
After installation, we add the final touches, such as edging, or adding custom outdoor lighting. We’ll walk you through the completed project to ensure you’re delighted. Our crew then conducts a thorough clean-up, leaving your property pristine.
Step 7: Post-Project Support
Our commitment doesn’t end with installation. We offer guidance on maintenance and are available to answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to ensure your new space remains beautiful and functional for years to come!
