At Garden Architecture, we work with you and other professionals who may be involved with your project to plan the location and orientation of the new home on your lot. We can make arrangements for the property to be surveyed and have a topographic worksheet prepared. Working with you, and collaborating with the architect and or builder, we can plan how the house relates to the site. What will be the finished elevation of the house in relationship to the existing topography? How will the drainage patterns work and how will storm water be managed? How will driveways and parking areas be incorporated? All of these features are designed and drawn on a Site Plan that can be used in your builder’s package to obtain building permits for your project.
