How do I turn my dream into reality?

It all starts with a dream, no actually it all starts with a plan… Premier Outdoor Living would like to help you turn your dream yard into reality but first, you need a plan that we can all work off to make sure the customer and contractor are all on the same page.

Do I have to pay for designs/plans?

Premier Outdoor Living utilizes just the right design team to fit the job. Our in-house designer can sketch up a basic design at little or no cost. If your project is going to be a large one, or you want something different you will want to opt to pay for our local landscape architect who will create technical drawings that we can use to obtain building permits where necessary. Lastly, on exclusive custom jobs, we can pull out the big guns and use our world-renowned partner with multiple projects on HGTV and DIY networks along with multiple TV shows showcasing his designs. Customers opting to use our paid design services will get up to two revisions, right down to complete redesigns.  It’s all about you. We won’t be satisfied until you are.  Your final design will include up to 10 fully 3D, photorealistic renderings of your dream yard-to-be.  You’ll get an idea of how it will feel to be in your amazing yard!

What if I have my own designer/architect?

If you have your own personal Landscape designer or architect we would love to work with them. Building relationships and making people happy is a wonderful way to do business. We are always open to working with people who have a positive attitude and welcome any and all design ideas. Outside Design Consulting and Contractors – If you already have a landscape architect or designer that you want to use, then that is fine with us! We at Premier Outdoor Living are always eager to work with any professional, as we are professionals ourselves, in order to complete your dream yard.  Whether Premier Outdoor Living is managing the entire scope of your yard renovation or just one structure, we are committed to treating each client with the same level of enthusiasm and provide the same diligent effort.

How do we get started?

Feasibility Assessment / Site Review/ Consultation – This is the initial step in which, together, we examine your property and consider if the particular structure and/or the landscape renovation of interest is suitable not only for your yard but for the neighborhood as well. We will then assess any items of possible concern, such as demolition of existing structures, grading, special challenges of access to the yard, septic/sewer setbacks, etc. All these items set the expectations so we can begin the consultation between your family and the head of our design department. Now we can find out just what it is that you need from your dream yard.  Pool?  Fireplace?  Outdoor Kitchen?  Your dream yard design can be uniquely crafted by our team of talented drafters and designers using the latest computer-aided drafting (CAD) technology. Working Drawings and Permit Processing – With each project, we complete a series of drawings.  These drawings range from initial sketches to working drawings, and final draft plans.  Certain projects we build are so grand in scale, engineering speculations may be necessary to obtain and incorporate into the final plans in order to be stamped and approved by the County to begin work in your yard

What areas are you licensed to work in?
