How We Differ from Landscapers
At Toftegaard Design, our overall purpose goes beyond the conventional task of yard design; it is about cultivating a space that fosters your happiness and curiosity. Our commitment is to design an aesthetically, eco-conscious, and mindful-centered outdoor living (landscape) at your doorstep. The transformative outcome doesn't commence with the installation of our services, it originates from within you, from the very beginning.
How We Differ from Landscapers
Have you ever used a landscaping or a lawn maintenance company? Traditional landscapers are hired for trimming, grass cutting, weed whacking, and maintaining a yard. Occasionally they also offer design services, but that’s not their main service. The services offered are useful but they’re not elevating a long term approach to your space’s outdoor impact on the environment. They’re interested in ongoing maintenance, and implementing customer seeking solutions that rarely include native plant species, or contribute to the habitat in and around your yard.
Then, there’s the sound of a lawn mower or a blower groaning on while trying to work from home or enjoying the peace and quietness of your weekend. We eliminate that noise.
We approach your outdoor space with a genuine sense of responsibility and mindfulness. Our goal is to reintroduce native ecosystems into your yard, encouraging you to comprehend and coexist with them rather than working against them by spraying harsh chemicals and herbicides. We aim to broaden your perspective and keep you rooted in the present. It's no longer the 18th century, and your yards shouldn't be confined to cookie-cutter styles and meticulous trimming.
We capture and incorporate your wishes and desires into a space that matches your inspiration, current and future lifestyle, the experience from the front to the back, and consider your budget - bringing in local art and elements to make it truly a unique experience to come home to, all while prioritizing the local habitat, and organic substances & materials used in the design.
When it comes to communication, we over communicate. You are assigned to one individual who will work with you from start to finish. If project management is in your package, they will be the go-to person for all scheduling, quotes, and contractor communication needs. The design process includes discussions on expectations and outcomes, relays visual and illustrative concepts in 2D and 3D renderings (if your package includes it), all within a reasonable and swift timeline that works for you.
For outdoor maintenance post execution, no worries! We have ongoing support plans to help you maintain your garden oasis. Our network of locally, trusted professionals are experts in the field.
The aesthetics of your yard should mirror the conscious decisions you make daily. If you're altering your dietary habits due to agricultural concerns or reducing plastic usage by bringing your own bag to the grocery store, integrating improved practices into your yard is equally important. We consider every aspect from a sustainable and economically viable standpoint, eliminating unnecessary waste to establishing a thriving ecosystem.
The importance of how we differ starts from the beginning.
