When a client enters into a design or consultation contract with Wayside, they are agreeing to pay for the designers time and expenses?
(see LANDSCAPE DESIGN / CONSULTATION CONTRACT). If the designer produces a plan in accordance with the needs and wants of the client, then the client is obligated to pay for the designer’s time and incurred expenses at the previously agreed upon rates. If the designer fails to pay attention to the desires of the client, then the client is not obligated to pay for design services.

For some it’s like putting the cart before the horse. But a successful landscape plan demands realistic budgetary figures from the clients early on. Many clients give mixed signals. For instance, a client may request a swimming pool, gardens, deck extension, and a split-rail fence around their yard and then tell the designer they have a ten thousand dollar budget. This is unrealistic; they know it and the designer
