Thank you!

You’ve taken the first step to a great landscape design. We’ll be emailing you shortly to get the process started.

How does this work?

Fill out the form above or contact me, and I will respond to get the process started. We’ll do preliminary work over email and set a time to meet and work together on the design. I will complete a thorough analysis of your needs and the site. We will run through multiple concept designs and work to create a final landscape design you love. See a summary of design steps below.

How much does it cost?

It depends! I will work with you and your budget. Pricing will be customized to the project, with a minimum of $500 and an initial deposit of $150. Design prices generally range from $1,000-$3,000

Why do I need to hire a designer?

Great question! I’ve explained the benefits of hiring a designer in this article. A designer can help you create a garden that exceeds all your goals and avoid common mistakes. If you are still on the fence, I do have resources for DIY design as well.

Who do you work with?

I primarily work with homeowners who are looking to upgrade or start their landscapes and gardens. I have also worked with commercial clients, non-profits, and community gardens. Reach out to see if my services would be a good fit.

Do you install the landscape design?

I currently provide plant installation. For other landscaping work, I will work with you to get the right documentation to share with a landscape contractor so you get an awesome implementation of your design. I often have recommendations for good people to work with and can help work directly with landscape contractors. I can also give you advice on how to find a good contractor and garden center.
