Booking a free site visit can feel like a bigger step than it actually is. Will someone try to sell you something you're not ready for? Do you need a finished plan before you even call? At Capital DCM, the honest answer is: you need none of that. You just need a backyard and an idea.

We built our free site visit process to be exactly what it sounds like — a genuine, no-pressure conversation about what's possible on your block.

Why we start with a free site visit, not a sales pitch

A garden can't be properly understood from photos or a phone call. Slope, soil, sun direction, existing structures — all of it shapes what a design can realistically achieve. That's why every project with us starts the same way: a free site visit, in person, on your actual block.

No pressure, no obligation

This isn't a scripted sales visit. There's no pressure to sign anything on the spot. The purpose of a free site visit is simple: to walk the site together, listen to what you're imagining, and give you an honest read on what's achievable.

What actually happens on the day

Most homeowners are surprised by how relaxed the process is. Here's what to expect.

  • A walk of the property — we look at the site the way it actually is, not just how it photographs
  • An open conversation about how you use, or want to use, the space
  • Honest, upfront guidance on scope, budget range, and rough timeline
  • No pressure to commit — you leave with clarity, not a contract

Coming prepared helps, but isn't essential

You don't need a Pinterest board or a finished brief to book a free site visit. It helps to have a rough sense of how you want to use the space — entertaining, a pool, more privacy — but plenty of our best projects started with nothing more than “I'm not sure what this could become.”

The real purpose of a free site visit

At its core, a free site visit exists to remove the guesswork before anyone commits to anything. You get clarity on what's possible, we get a proper understanding of your site, and from there, both sides can make an informed decision.

If your outdoor space has been sitting in the “someday” pile, this is the easiest first step you can take.
