Design Services
I offer BOTH VIRTUAL and ONSITE consultations
Virtual and Onsite Design Services
Does This Sound Like You?
-
Are you frustrated with your overgrown shrubs, blocking windows, rubbing up against the house?
-
Do you want higher-impact, lower-maintenance landscape and more manageable sized shrubs?
-
How about plants that require less water, less pruning?
-
How about a landscape that provides waves of color and drama all three seasons & possibly four seasons long?
-
Do you have unanswered questions about choosing the right shrub, tree or perennial, pruning, mulch vs. stone, adjusting the shape of your beds?
-
Do you wish you could 'tweak' your foundation or garden beds - or perhaps even overhaul it! - to get the right landscape look you've always wanted?
-
Do you need help designing a brand new bed so that you save time and money by creating a masterpiece the first time?
-
Do you want a second opinion on a design that someone else did for you?
-
Would you find it reassuring to have someone onsite overseeing a landscape or garden's installation to make sure it comes out as you envisioned it and that plants were dug in correctly to minimize shock and increase viability?
Let's roll-up our sleeves and partner together in building a garden that will bring YOU the most pleasure.
I’ll provide design solutions for reducing maintenance time; replacing frustrating plants with perennials, shrubs, evergreens, trees and/or annuals; creating attractive foundation plantings.
Virtual Garden and Landscape Consultations
Clients provide photos, measurements for new planting beds (or those that need updating), and answer a series of questions related to sunlight, soil type, color/plant preferences, deer pressure, and more. Depending on the project & your budget, we will draw either a design to scale, rough sketch, a marked up photo, or provide general advice on recommended plants for various sites, as well as problem-solving solutions. A Zoom meeting is then scheduled where I review design recommendations and address questions. The virtual design fee is the same as onsite consultations - $95 per hour. Most virtual consultations are between 2 and 5 hours which includes collecting data, creating the design(s), and the follow-up Zoom meeting which is usually runs 45 minutes - 1hr. & 15 minutes.

Landscape
Designer for a Day
ON HOLD DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
I will come to your home for the day & help you with placements of plants, correct planting techniques, additives to the soil, picking plants at the Nursery & loading them into my truck to bring to your home.
Helping you install self-made irrigation system for your beds & much more. I can answer questions, demonstrate proper techniques, advise, and encourage. The only thing I cannot do anymore is digging & planting installations. My old back ain't what it used to be.
Note: I am happy to answer a follow-up email or phone call but if more time is need than that, I will bill my hourly rate, which is $96 per hour, in 15-minute minimum increments.
