– Overview –

     From start to finish, the creation and building of a brand new GardenHome (or the renovating or remodeling of an existing property into a GardenHome one), is –depending upon its overall size and scope –  a complex, five-phased, and multi-task process that could take anywhere from 4 to 8 months to complete.
