The Savings of a Savvy consumer……
We all know about the theory of “economies of scale”. The idea that cost advantages can be realized when the scope, output, fixed costs and operational expenses are spread out over a greater number of units produced. Have you ever thought of your landscape in a similar fashion? There is an economy of scale to be realized in selecting one firm that can supply everything, soup-to-nuts so to speak, that you’ll need for your landscape improvement project. Pellettieri Associates shows the benefits of this approach with their most recent landscape architecture project.
DESIGN PROCESS:
Since we’re talking about things from start to end, the savings become quickly apparent for a savvy homeowner when dealing with an all-inclusive landscape firm. Contemplate this; the design process is at the forefront of any landscape project. This phase is quickly followed by installation, and ultimately the on-going maintenance of the property. In an all-inclusive firm, this process can be seamlessly transitioned from design, to installation, and ending with maintenance. All accomplished without the need for the myriad of construction documents, meetings, plan changes, and hand-off packages that would typically be necessary when various companies are doing or are involved in each phase of the project.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
An all-inclusive firm allows this seamless transition, and also enhances the all important, on-going, design decisions present in any landscape improvement project. The soup-to-nuts firm can remain responsive to the dynamic conditions on site. Quite often, as a project progresses and becomes more physically evident in the landscape, the homeowner begins to better understand how elements relate to each other. This often sparks a rethinking, and sometimes a change in their desire about some of the design choices made earlier in the process. When this occurs, the savings a soup-to-nuts firm is capable of realizing for the homeowner, quickly becomes apparent. A firm such as this is adaptable, and can accommodate adjustments quickly, often without the need for additional design work and the costs associated with it.
MAINTENANCE:
Ultimately, the end result is a better process and product, with both allowing the homeowner to reap the rewards of this all-inclusive approach to their landscape project. The integrity of the original design intent is even retained through the maintenance phases as the landscape matures. This only happens when the maintenance team is but one element in a seamless process for the property that ensures the vision for your landscape remains intact throughout.
