At The Rusty Shovel, we’ve partnered with Alicia at Thrive Landscape Design to offer full service, custom 2D+3D landscape design packages.

Alicia has been designing yards in Saskatchewan since completing her Prairie Horticulture Certificate in 2009. She even designed the initial layout for The Rusty Shovel showroom when we opened the doors back in the spring of 2010!

After years of collaboration, Alicia has officially took up residency with us at The Rusty Shovel in 2023.

1. Pay your retainer & book your site visit
2. Site visit includes measuring, taking photos, and meeting with the designer to relay your needs and yard issues.
3. Proofs and Revisions. Your design is a collaboration and requires your attention throught the process. You will meet with the designer at the halfway point to ensure the design meets your expectations and to make revisions along the way.
4. Design Complete. With the design complete the team at The Rusty Shovel will be sent your plans to quote the product they sell. A virtual introduction to an installer will also occur when your digital plans are sent.

Pricing

Design package average $2,000.

We will usually say it’s never too early to start designing. Ideally for large projects you will want to start one full season ahead but if you are hiring a landscaper it should be more like 2-3 seasons (ie. 6-9 months).

Call Thrive or book a Discovery Call to ask more about any of the above.
