Vinlandsverket

Vinlandsverket offers affordable landscape design services intended for property owners who desire a thoughtful and integrated landscape design solution, but who cannot or do not wish to pay for the full breadth of standard landscape architectural services. The best way to think of a Vinlandsverket design is in terms of the 80-20 rule: a project of any sort can reach 80% completion using just the first 20% of time and effort. To bring the project to 100% completion requires the remaining 80% of time and effort. In the case of landscape design, this principle equates to a focus on the overall concept of the design and its layout and materials. It reduces or eliminates the very fine-grain level of detailing that typically happens in the later stages of the project that tend to consume a lot of time and thus drive up the cost of the design fee. It also eliminates the expensive and time-consuming renderings (pretty pictures) typically used to simply convince the client pursue and pay for a given design. The point is that custom design is cost prohibitive to most home owners, but it doesn’t need to be if the right set of strategies are utilized.
