About Your Landscaping

Now, let’s talk about landscaping.  As you have already seen, The Grove is a community rich in detail and lush with landscape.  This attention to detail is what sets us apart from all other communities and is likely what made you fall in love with The Grove!  While we do allow you to create on your own, there are certain aspects we provide for you. Please know that we will do what we can to create your dream so long as it is fitting to The Grove’s style.  We don’t want to be dictators of your experience; we just want to continue the theme and style that you have seen here. Please note that all landscaping that is visible from the street must be installed by us.  This includes but is not limited to driveways, sidewalks, gates, etc. We also change seasons here at The Grove which means our trees change from spring to summer to fall then winter. It is necessary for us to control these changes so we MUST provide all of the trees on your parcel.  Don’t worry, we’ll make sure we plant something you like! 

Our landscaper is Nαтαlιe (natalierives) and she has been creating beautiful landscapes at The Grove since 2016 and has been a landscaper in Second Life since 2007.  I’m sure you will be amazed at what she creates for you! Watch for communication from Natalie shortly after we receive your completed survey.

If you have traveled our sims you will see they are all landscaped in a Tuscan/Spanish theme; all uniquely different but still in the same style. We have very high standards in place to make The Grove an elite Second Life residential destination that you will love.  We will try to meet with you at a time that is convenient but please be aware that Natalie is on European time and may not be online when you are. While Natalie is working with you, we have a few requests:

1. Please offer Natalie friendship. It makes it much easier to know when she might contact you.
2. If you have a security orb, please add Natalie to your access list.
3. Please give Natalie the right to terraform your land. You can do that by checking the "everyone" box next to Edit Terrain under the Options tab in your About Land settings.
4. Please give Natalie permission to modify/edit your objects. You can do this once you are friends from your friends list.
5. Give Natalie permission to rez objects on your land.  In About Land---> Options: check the boxes Build, Object Entry. This is only required for the time she needs to landscape your land.
6. IMPORTANT: DO NOT RETURN ANY ITEMS!   Please contact a staff member to take care of returning items you want removed.  If you return items, it may result in additional charges especially if the number of items returned is significant. 
7. Do not tera form your parcel under any circumstances.  Contact Natalie or Crito if something needs adjusting. We’re here to help!

Once your landscaping is complete, you can reverse the above settings.

To better help create the home of your dreams at The Grove, we would like to know more about you and your landscape preferences. Below are a few questions that will help us in advance of your consultation with Natalie.

1. What landscape aspects attracted you to the parcel you chose?

 

2. Have you looked around the community at other parcels and seen something you truly loved that you would like to have on your parcel? (give us an example with a Gyazo link.  If you don’t have Gyazo, be prepared to send a SL photo to Natalie when you meet)

 

3. Are there elements you would like to add to your parcel (i.e., fountain, pool, gazebo, etc.)

 

4. Is there something you really don't care for on your parcel and would like to see changed?

 

5. Do you have preference in colors? 

As you know, your home and your landscaping count against the total number of prims you are given on your parcel. At the same time, we have a minimum amount of landscaping that is necessary to maintain the consistency and beauty of The Grove. Smaller parcels should expect to use no less than 300 prims in basic landscaping, and larger parcels may use up to 800 prims. Parcels on La Tarazza should have a minimum of 175 prims in landscape/hardscape.  

The first landscaping is included and for free.  Minor changes requested immediately after the landscaping is finished are still included in the first month of tier (again only little changes).  Major changes not reported immediately will be charged depending on what you need! Starting fee is L$1,500 and can go up to L$8,000 for a complete make-over of your plot.

Major changes mean redoing all custom builds, hard prims like walls, lights, paths and terraces, stairs.  Also, if during your residency here at The Grove you decide to change houses, you will have to pay for any and all landscaping to refit your house to your parcel.  We only provide ONE free landscaping when you initially move in.

And finally, please read the covenant to fully understand our rules and guidelines. You can read it by clicking here. (insert link to covenant https://thegroveestatessl.com/covenant/ )

Anything else you’d like us to know?

I have read and agree to the guidelines on this survey as well as the covenant.
