It is important for the Designer to be involved during the installation of the garden so that the integrity of the design is maintained. Fee & payment schedule is discussed. The Designer, as your representative, does the following:
- Helps the Homeowner selects a contractor;
- Meets with contractor & homeowner;
- Selects materials (with homeowner);
- Garden layout with contractor to refine lines and spaces;

- Trouble shoot glitches (there will be some!);
- Frequent drop-ins to check on installation;
