Garden Design

Each time I design a garden for someone, it begins with a tour of the space, followed by a conversation regarding desires for how the space is to be used, likes and dislikes about certain plants and flower colors, needs and wants for protection from people and the weather, favorite gardens and places to see and relax in, and budgets.   

​

Once these overarching themes are established, I review the survey in my studio and begin designing the garden to meet the parameters discussed with the client.  Themes I tend to include are waterwise, low maintenance designs.  

​

I present the client with the agreed upon number of concepts with visuals that show the plant combinations in various stages of the year.  I take feedback from the client and modify the concept until a final concept is approved.  Designing is billed at an hourly rate not to exceed an agreed upon amount.
