Process
Your Garden Journey: From First Handshake to First Harvest
Landscaping can feel like a mystery. Who does what? When does it start? What’s it going to cost? We get it, and we’re here to make it simple.
At Loci, we’ve built a process that’s clear, calm, and actually kind of exciting. It’s a step-by-step path with a team with you the whole way: from the first phone call to the first bird singing in your new garden.
Here’s how it works.
First telephone call
What happens: You reach out. We schedule a quick discovery call.
What you do: Share a bit about your space and what you’re dreaming of.
What we do: Check if we’re the right fit and book your consultation.
Timeline: Within 2 business days.
Meeting your land
What happens: You meet our design team on one of their monthly consultation days for a visit.
What you do: Walk us through the site, share ideas, concerns, and vision.
What we do: Site analysis, photography, and early design thinking.
Timeline: First Wednesday of the month, about 1-2 hours
Milestone: The moment we see your garden’s potential.
Confirming the Scope

Bringing Vision to Life

Transformation Begins
