  • Basemap Production

    Basemap Production

    The Basemap serves as the plan view or birds-eye view of the current site, encompassing the house, plants, structures, known utilities, and any other elements that will remain in the final design. I will utilize your previous survey as the starting point and conduct measurements for any features not included in the survey. Additionally, I will conduct an inventory and assess the condition of all trees and plants, with adjustments made as needed based on dormancy.

    The cost of Basemap creation depends on the time spent on the project and need for outside survey assistance. Our hourly rate is $100 per hour.
