Hey everyone!
I just published a new micro-lesson on “Unpacking Your Backyard Refresh: A Design-First Approach” in our classroom. In it, we explore JH’s 3D renderings—seeing how the broad Cheswick paver patio flows into sculpted, tiered walls and layered plantings—before diving into the quote to show you exactly how each cost line ties back to a design feature.
You’ll discover how to:
- Read the hardscape and softscape elements as a cohesive experience
- Map demo, pavers, walls, and plant costs back to what you see in the visuals
- Apply value-engineering tactics that preserve the look while trimming budget
- Ask the right approval and logistics questions for a smooth build
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
