For larger events requiring extensive preparation and travel, she can assist in developing a fair and comprehensive cost estimate.
Pro-bono Requests
As a small business, we have limited capacity to provide assistance but can offer guidance and direct to resources as our schedule permits. Priority is given to youth-focused initiatives and volunteer advocacy groups.
While detailed questions sent via email will be addressed as time allows, scheduling a short call often proves more efficient. We are not available to conduct events pro-bono.
We deeply appreciate when our contributions are acknowledged.
Typical Traffic Garden Design Process
We begin with an initial consultation to customize our services to meet the unique needs of your community and budget. Afterward, we'll present a personalized costs proposal detailing your project's approach to ensure a successful traffic garden design and installation.
Once onboard, we will conduct a site evaluation and provide an analysis, identifying any necessary changes and outlining any fixes needed to establish your traffic garden. Typically, DTG will propose three conceptual layouts for your review and feedback. Once you select the preferred layout and features, we will create customized drawings and refine them to your satisfaction. We provide a detailed set of installation drawings with instructions and can assist with overseeing the installation. Each step of the way, we help move the project forward and towards a successful conclusion.
DTG can work as an independent consultant or as part of a larger consulting team redesigning a school or other facility. We produce AutoCAD drawings that can be added to larger project sets.
Get in touch and let's find out how we can help bring the magic of
traffic gardens to your community!
