14. Is every design original or do you use design templates?
We do not use design templates. Every design is created to suit the client’s needs and goals, as well as the features of the landscape and architecture.

15. When I take pictures of the exterior of my home to upload on the website, do you have any requirements? Are we limited to just one photo?
You are not limited to one photo, there are several steps that will help us generate the best design.

  • If you are taking a picture with a smartphone or tablet, make sure you send us a full-size image (do not scale down the file size).  Make sure you are taking the photo during a sunny time of the day. Gloomy days and evenings tend to make the image fuzzy.

  • Make sure your house is not obstructed by cars, toys, bikes and any item that you do not wish to show up in your illustrative image.

  • Make sure you are not tilting your camera. A straight shot is best.

  • While we will only use one image of your home for the illustrative rendering, please feel free to send us close-ups or side views of your house. Additional views are very helpful when you have columns, trees, or other elements that are blocked from the straight view.

  • If we need any additional images, we will contact you via email.

16. What if my house will not fit in one photo?
Don’t worry. This happens quite often when you have a ranch style house or live in an area where houses are close to the street. You will need to send several pictures that can be joined together for one cohesive image.

17. Will you tell me exactly what products to buy?
Yes! With each design you will receive a personalized shopping list for your home. You will be able to purchase most of the items thru Plan and Plant Design. For items that require specific sizing, such as doors, shutters, or windows we will help connect you to vendors and service representatives. See question #10 for additional information.

18. When I replace items such as a door, windows or shutters, do you help me measure and place the order?
Yes, we will help connect you to vendors and service representatives that will assist in sizing the products you wish to purchase.

19. Is there a limit to the size of the property in the Plant Package?
Yes, views that exceed 100ft from house to curb or property line will have custom pricing. Please contact us for pricing at info@livdesignpartners.com or call 866-632-8390 ext. 3000.
