Is a Phased construction Project Right for You?
At LandArt, we know that some projects feel too big to tackle all at once. Whether it’s the budget, the season, or the chaos of construction, phasing can be a smarter way forward. That is why we offer phased construction planning, a smart and flexible approach to completing your project in well-planned stages.
Whether you are managing financial timing, prioritizing key areas, or coordinating with a larger home build, a phased project allows you to move forward with clarity and control.
What Is a Phased Landscape Project?
A phased project is a landscape plan completed in stages. You receive the full design at the outset, but construction is carried out in steps that align with your lifestyle, budget, and schedule.
This approach works especially well for:
- Managing cash flow or aligning with tax planning
- Prioritizing high-impact features first and completing others later
- Coordinating with home construction or renovation
Three Types of Phased Projects
1. Financial Phasing
Best for: Spreading investment across fiscal years
We complete all work in one season, typically from fall to spring, while scheduling payments over two calendar or tax years. This method allows you to:
- Access equity or funding in stages
- Keep your financial strategy on track
- Stay on schedule without compromising quality
2. Priority-First Phasing
Best for: Focusing on what matters most
You may choose to address one area of your property now and the rest later. With this method:
- We sign one contract for the full scope of work
- Complete the highest priority area first
- Return to complete the remaining work when the time is right
This ensures you can begin enjoying your space sooner while still working toward your long-term vision.
3. Construction-Efficient Phasing
Best for: New builds or significant property changes
We begin with the heavier tasks such as grading, excavation, and hardscape preparation across the property. Later, we return to complete:
- Planting, turf installation, lighting, and finishes
- Final detailing once the site is fully ready
This approach supports other construction timelines and helps the entire process move forward more smoothly.
Is Phasing Right for You?
Phasing is not about delaying progress. It is about making informed, strategic decisions.
With the right plan, you can:
- Maximize your investment over time
- Remain flexible with your schedule
- Complete your project with greater ease and precision
