Build Your Garden Plan
We will come together in your garden for a 60 minute session to learn about what your visions for your garden are.
During this consultation I will collect information about your site and how your household hopes to enjoy and interact with your space.
In less than a week you will get a follow up of our discussion and recommendations for moving forward with either a DIY design or an estimate for a turnkey installation.
If you go forward with a detailed planting design there is a cost per sqft. and includes up to 1 revision of the original plan.
Garden Installation
When it comes to installation you have two options!
Turn Key Installation: Sit back and let us do the heavy lifting for you. We will take care of all of the sourcing, labor of installation and filling your beds with quality soil. You will get a review of your planting plan and are welcomed to sign up for our ongoing garden coaching or maintenance package. Get a free 1-hour-follow-up visit within 30 days of installation. Cost depends on scope and size of the project.
DIY: Are you a weekend warrior and don't mind doing the heavy lifting yourself? Get a custom plan that guides you on what you need to be successful on your own. This can include recommendations of plants, bed materials and sourcing, garden soil recipe, irrigation requirements and the foundations you need to create your own kitchen garden from scratch. Cost of this depends on sqft.
Don't worry. We won't just plant and run.
We have options for continued garden coaching and education suited to your budget and needs.
