Conceptual Design
Conceptual Design is the very first phase of a project, and can be anywhere from an exploratory endeavor to becoming the driving force of a particular project. It is in this phase that our ideas are initially created, explored and depicted. Depending on the desired effect, concepts can be conveyed as a loose sketch or model, and they can be detailed and direct. Beginning with existing site data and analysis, Conceptual Design can be applied to both large and small projects.

Preliminary Site Analysis
With a long history in Vermont and New England, T. J. Boyle Associates has the professional contacts to help you analyze a site, prepare a survey and get you well on your way to developing a site plan that can be used for site design, architectural design, landscape design and permitting. -
Conceptual Site Layout and Visualization
As most projects have many solutions, it is important to convey the potential designs in an affordable yet concise manner. Conducting a community design charette, where citizens and interested parties can take part in the design process, is a great way to gather ideas and incorporate local input. Using 2D drawings, quick renderings and 3D sketches helps visualize potential solutions before moving on to more in-depth design. -
Conceptual Site and Planting Plans
A fully designed landscape plan is not always necessary, especially in the early stages of a project when many of the design elements are still in flux. Conceptual planting plans can be especially useful for the early stages of permitting, comparing various planting ideas, and even preliminary design competitions.
