Our Services
Step 1 - Schedule a 60 minute consultation ($125). During this time come prepared with notes about how you utilize the space and any specific requests or ideas you may have for the design. If you would like to collaborate in more detail, another scheduled consultation may be needed.
Step 2 - If we decide to move forward with working together, I will ask for a 50% deposit before I begin measuring your garden to create a base map for the design.
Step 3 - I will present the design and plant list with visuals. We will then go over the design in detail and I will answer any questions you may have. It is possible that I may make some small changes to the design if needed.
Step 4 - I will send you all the design materials you will need for installation such as the design created to scale, material and plant list, land prep suggestions and irrigation/watering recommendations.

Garden Consultation
Rates
$125 (60 min)
This consult will be on-site and based on your specific needs. Are you beginning your garden journey and would like to learn about ecological design and gardening practices? Have you inherited an established garden and need to learn how to care for it? Maybe you’re an avid gardener and need some fresh ideas? This time can include a site assessment, loose design ideas, plant identification, soil health suggestions, a plant list that is specific for the conditions of your yard, advice about planting, plant placement, suggestions about getting your land ready for planting, referrals, etc.
Maintenance
Rates
$300 minimum per visit
$55-65/hr per worker
Our maintenance services includes specialized pruning of shrubs and small trees (under 12’) that are tailored to each specific species, careful weeding, identifying and removing aggressive/invasive plants, plant thinning, mulching and soil health remedies while always using organic gardening methods. Native plants benefit from specialty pruning to encourage health and longevity. We balance the wild beauty with an intentional hand. We like to “leave the leaves” in garden beds (exceptions e.g laurel, evergreen magnolia, fruit trees…). We never use pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. Hand tools are mostly used with the exception of a few quiet electric tools when needed.

Project Management
Rates
$100/hr
I offer hands on project management to help my designs come to fruition. To be present on site for an install with contractors is important to ensure the accurate follow through of the design, planting placement, problem solving, overseeing proper planting methods, using correct materials, etc.
