Before we talk about materials, timelines, or designs, we start somewhere more important: understanding what you’re looking to accomplish.
What matters most about this investment? What does the property need? Who needs to be involved? How do you prefer to communicate? And what should you expect from us along the way?
Those answers look different depending on the work. A homeowner planning a backyard transformation doesn’t need the same process as a property manager entering a seasonal maintenance contract.
That’s why our approach isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Choose the type of investment below to see what working with Drake’s looks like from first contact through completion — or, for many of our commercial clients, into the next season.
Home Investment Process
Your home is personal, and the process should reflect that. We take time at the beginning to understand what you’re trying to create, what matters to you, your expectations, and your investment range before moving forward.
Explore the steps below to see what you can expect from your first inquiry through project follow-up.
Commercial Property Enhancement Process
Commercial enhancement work is often more straightforward. Whether you’re an existing client or reaching out with a specific improvement in mind, we’ll focus on understanding what needs to be done, defining the scope, and getting you a clear path forward — without adding unnecessary steps.
Commercial Maintenance & Seasonal Services
Commercial properties need a different approach. Before the season begins, we make sure the scope, service expectations, communication, reporting and billing are clearly established.

The Bottom Line
Good working relationships aren’t built on assumptions. They’re built on clear expectations, honest communication and knowing what happens next.
We’ve continued to develop our processes as Drake’s has grown — not to make things more complicated, but to create greater consistency for our clients and our team.
Clear expectations. Honest conversations. Steady follow-through.
That’s the approach behind every investment we take on.
