Learn about our Team
Our services are supported by our professional team at OMC Landscape Architecture
Our profession involves the design of streetscapes, parks and playgrounds, created wetlands and restored river systems, transit solutions and urban strategies, private backyards, and planning for urban communities and cities.
At Tropos, our research underscores our approach to problem solving on urban-scale site development projects across Ontario. With our partners at OMC we provide landscape architectural services from master planning through to construction documentation and review.
We work with municipalities, communities, private organizations and individuals to ensure an efficient and successful project from initial proposal through implementation.
01/
Initial meeting
The design process is discussed and agreed upon with the client at the initial meeting. The first site visit allows us to get a sense of the space and develop a client brief based on your specific needs and requirements.
02/
Conceptual proposals
Based on the brief developed after the initial meeting, a conceptual design proposal is prepared for discussion. Conceptual proposals include a landscape plan and 3D sketches, along with the plant and material color boards.
03/
Detailed proposals
Once the initial design has been agreed upon, it is then developed further by adding another layer of detail to the design. Drawings are developed to share with the landscape contractors and prepare a cost estimate.
04/
Tender
The construction package is prepared during the Tender stage of the project.
05/
Construction
Monitoring and managing the project during the construction phase.
06/
Completion and Aftercare
Once the project is complete and reviewed with the client, initial and after care advice is available for an agreed period of time.
