RESIDENTIAL garden design SERVICES

Design CONSULTATION $300 (1-hour meeting + summary)

My work with clients starts with an at-home, personalized consultation. We'll take a leisurely walk through your property together, and talk about your existing landscape, how you make use of it (or wish you could!), and possibilities improving it.  You'll receive answers and ideas for any type and size project, whether you are looking to select new plants for an existing garden, design a new sitting area, or carry out a full property re-design. 

Here's what's included!

  • a deep dive into landscape improvement goals 
  • creative design ideas for garden beds, sitting areas, paths and more 
  • expert plant choice suggestions
  • simple garden care tips 
  • actionable next steps for projects 
  • follow-up meeting summary 

Every consultation is designed to leave you informed and inspired about your home's outdoor natural spaces and new possibilities for how to enjoy them.  Regardless of whether we move forward with formal design work, you will have a greater understanding of your landscape, a vision for improving it and clarity on how to start making changes!

Full DESIGN PLAN Packages (starting at $1500)

For clients who continue with design work beyond a one-time consultation, I offer drafted plans and plant lists to guide the changes they are envisioning.  Design packages are customized to meet a specific project's scope, goals and budget.  Full re-designs for larger areas of a property, with multiple elements (such as a new patio, paths and large garden beds) generally require conceptual, design development and planting plans.  Deliverables for the design of smaller planting beds might be limited to sketches and plant lists. 

PLANT lists  (starting at $500)

An essential part of successful garden creation is expert plant choice.  Plant lists are included in full design packages but can also be provided as a singular service.  They are perfect for the DIY gardener, who need support making smart, beautiful plant choices before putting anything in the ground!  My recommendations are rooted in 20+ years of hands-on experience in gardens and solid horticulture knowledge.  The detailed lists are designed to ensure that what you plant has the best chance of growing beautifully over time and looking just how you envisioned!  Every list includes links to curated photos, to help you imagine and select only trees, shrubs and flowers you love (after all, the plants are the super stars of any landscape!)
