- Consultation - This involves an on-site meeting where we discuss specific goals for your project and come up with the best solution to fit your needs. 2 hour minimum at $80/hr. Additional time will be accounted for in 30 minute increments. This fee is payable at the time of service. If consultation develops into a full landscape design, this fee will be absorbed into the design cost.
- Garden coaching - This is a one on one experience in your garden offering horticultural advice and plant identification. We can work side by side while you learn to care for and manage the plants in your garden and offering suggestions for companion plantings to enhance what’s already there. Advice can be given on how and when to prune flowering shrubs and small trees. A fee of $60/hour is payable at the time of service.
- Pet Friendly Garden Design - This design concept pays special attention to finding a balance of having a beautiful outdoor living area and at the same time respecting your pet’s needs. We can offer suggestions on how to minimize challenging mishaps that may occur. We help problem solve and offer fun solutions to enhance your shared outdoor experience with your pet. These concepts can be implemented in any of the service options.
- Quick Plan Design - This is ideal for the person who wants to update or bring new life to a small area and budget minded DIYers. I draw a quick conceptual sketch and a simple plan (not to scale) with plant recommendations, common and botanical names included. These visits typically take about 4 hours depending on the size and extent of your project. A fee of $80/hour is payable at the time of service.
- Full Landscape Design Plan - This option offers a comprehensive plan addressing all the elements to compose a landscape design for a particular area to a full master plan for the entire property. See Design process page for details. The cost for the full landscape design plan is project based. Upon acceptance of the proposal, you will choose between three value options to ensure you getting what you want and need while staying within your budget. Full landscape design prices are project based depending on scope and size of the project.

- 1ST payment of 35% due on signing contract
