The consultation is a chance for us to get to know each other and decide the next steps for your project. Most often this takes place in-person at your site, but in some instances a video call works too. This is an opportunity for us to discuss your garden goals and desires, learn more about the specific conditions on your site, take measurements and samples, and note the surrounding area for obstacles and opportunities.

Please note that specific garden plans will not be available during the on-site consultation; some general plant recommendations may be provided in the follow-up email.  For a personalized and detailed plan, you can request a garden design (see the following drop-down for details).  Please let us know if this interests you so we can record the appropriate information during our initial visit. 

A garden design begins with the consultation process.  Once we have gathered the information and specifications for your site, we will create a design for your garden and begin sourcing the plants and materials.  You will be provided with a copy of the design plan review and approve.  If the plan requires significant modifications after your review, additional fees may apply.

Ecological garden design is a detailed process; the cost will reflect the size and complexity of your design requirements.  We can discuss this with you and provide an estimate beforehand.

Garden installations typically follow the consultation and design stages.  If you already have a design you'd like to install, we are happy to do the work.  Once we've gotten to know you and your site, and have agreed upon a plan, we are ready to get our hands dirty!  We can collect and deliver the plants and materials, or you may choose to do that yourself.  We can discuss this beforehand.

Whether we've installed your garden for you, or you have an existing garden you'd like our help maintaining, we're here to lend a hand.

We are available to visit and maintain your gardens with tasks such as weeding, mulching, light pruning, watering, edging, soil amending, dividing and transplanting, seasonal preparation in spring and fall, and scouting for pests and animal damage.

Sometimes you need a little help with a garden project that doesn't fall into one of our categories.  Please contact us with your request and we can discuss the options.
