Let’s work together

Fill out this design inquiry and we will be in touch shortly.

Want to chat first? Don’t throw in the trowel, book a call with your local expert

Book a Free 15 minute call and we will go over your garden goals and specific problems. From there we will decide what kind of services you may need.

In-person local consultations are required for a full custom design to asses the site. Consultations are $150 and last 1-2 hrs depending on the scope of the project. Half ($75) will be applied to the design when you approve the proposal.

The consultation includes a design package proposal for your project based on all the information gathered. Measurements and photos for the design will be taken on site.

*Keep in mind the consultation fee does not include actual design plans, it is to cover costs of travel and starting the project.
