Satisfying landscape design, ever developing and maturing, enjoyed by many for years is the final result of successful collaboration between client and landscape architect. Dolmen Landscaping SA strives to achieve such a result with each project. Beginning with the initial client meeting and inspection of the area and continuing through the design, installation and completion phases, a committed professional will personally guide your project.

The process begins with understanding the client’s vision and continues toward the development of a landscape solution. A guiding principle is to choose materials consistent with the home's design and style and to creatively bridge the indoor and outdoor spaces. The design may even incorporate special features like stack-stone retaining walls, fountains, ponds, waterfalls, or statuary.

Plant selection and a comprehensive irrigation and drainage plan will be provided. Many persons new to the Boquete-Chiriqui area will not be familiar with the special requirements of successfully landscaping in an area with a significant rainy season nor with the plants which thrive here. Dolmen Landscaping has the experience to help you achieve an aesthetically pleasing result which incorporates adequate drainage and utilizes plants best suited to the location while creating your personal space of style and quality. One may incorporate an attractive water feature into a drainage plan. A small foot bridge might be used to cross an area easily flooded. The abundance of rocks in the area can be used to create a rock wall, partitioning or terracing part of the garden. Heavy earth moving machinery can be used to create interesting terrain shaping with hills and swales, and perhaps strategically place a large boulder which is otherwise presenting problems.

The completed design will be presented to you in the form of a colour concept drawing which will be modified and developed until you believe your vision has been understood and captured. From the concept drawing, the construction-installation plan will be developed along with a detailed itemization of the labour and materials necessary to complete the project.
