The easiest way is to have a Design Consultant reach out to you to talk to you about your ideas. They would have to ask you some questions about your home or landscape. They also work with you and with your HOA, if your interest goes further, etc. There is no pressure. They are very easy-going guys and are on the designing side of it. They just help to answer your questions you have. They can give you a quick, no-obligation quote usually in as little as 20 minutes. Have a wonderful day. -Marilynn
