Rooftop Garden Design Process

Our rooftop garden design process follows the same steps as our landscape design process, with several important distinctions as outlined below:
  • Client fills out website Contact form
  • CSG contacts Client to discuss structural issues of project
  • Structural documents forwarded to CSG for review
  • Absent structural documents, structural engineer retained to develop site assessment
  • Client authorizes structural work, if needed
  • Input meeting held on site; design fee agreement drafted
  • Client authorization of design agreement
  • Two design concepts presented (3-4 weeks)
  • Final plan presentation (3-4 weeks)
  • Implementation schedule developed

Safety and following city codes is paramount in our design/build process when discussing rooftop gardens, garage roof gardens, terraces and other elevated spaces.

The finished plan also includes a comprehensive, detailed construction proposal outlining all the elements of the plan, their quantities, sizes, materials, dimensions and costs. Included in the plan are selections from The Rooftop Living Collection®, our in-house rooftop furnishings resource.

Each project represents a unique set of circumstances and, therefore, the design process can vary slightly from one design situation to the next. The entire design process takes 6-8 weeks.
