  • How Landscaping Goes From Dream to Reality

    What is your ideal home exterior? You probably have an image in your mind of the perfect landscaping, but making that image a reality can seem a bit intimidating. With the help of Country Club Homes, you can have the landscape of your dreams. Here is a brief look at the process we use to create beautiful landscapes for each one of our clients.

    • Step 1: Drawing plans. After speaking with you and determining your budget and exactly what you desire in a landscape, we create a schematic drawing to show you what the finished product will look like.  Always design your entire project up front.

    • Step 2: Phasing.  To save money, phase your landscape project in stages.  This will allow time to get competitive pricing on materials and subcontractors.
    • Step 3: Permits and Organization. Now that the building plans are in order, we apply for the necessary permits and facilitate communication between the various builders and contractors.
