Garden Design & Planning
A well thought out design makes your outdoor space comfortable to use, beautiful, and well suited to your lifestyle, enticing you to spend time in your garden.
My intention is to create gardens that not only are aesthetically pleasing, but also beneficial ecologically.
Selected designs will reflect your personal preferences, as well as practical considerations. I can present you with either a total plan for a one-time installation, or alternatively a step-by-step approach for implementation over several seasons.
Every site is different, and each site dictates the most appropriate plant choices. As plants are living things and nature is rather unpredictable, we need to be flexible and not always demand perfection.
The Design Process
Starts with a consultation, which leads to formulating initial design ideas.
Next, you’ll be provided with a plan drawing and lists of plants suitable for the location and delivering the desired effect.
Following your review, the design will be edited and revised, leading to a final copy.
There will be a charge for creating additional plans.
Further work to purchase and plant everything is an option that we can discuss.
Prices depend on size and complexity of the project.
Design rates start at $300
