THE PROCESS

1. Consultation

I come to your site for a one-hour walk around and conversation to understand your goals and discuss the challenges and opportunities of your site. I'll follow-up with a written summary of opportunities for your site including a proposal for any work you've requested. The fee is $150 which is credited toward any contract cost if you choose to move forward.

2. Design

Based on your goals, I develop a detailed design including planting plan, material specification, pathways, and any other requested elements (chicken coop anyone?). Designs generally include one round of revisions to make sure the details suit your lifestyle, tastes, and budget. 

3. Installation

I use high quality, locally sourced materials and plants to build great gardens. I use salvaged materials where possible including reclaimed lumber, urbanite (recycled concrete), or materials the client already has onsite. Some clients choose to implement the design themselves which I wholeheartedly support!

4. Caretaking

It's really important to me to make sure you get off to a good start. I will never sell you a garden, throw you the keys, and walk away! For experienced gardeners, this could include a written plant caretaking guide and for newer gardeners, I recommend a year of seasonal caretaking and coaching visits to get you started on the right foot.
