GARDEN CONSULTATIONS
Every garden transformation begins with a walk through the landscape.
During our consultation, we will explore how your property can evolve into a natural and resilient ecosystem that supports both beauty and biodiversity. Together we will:
Walk your property and observe its unique microclimates - areas of sunlight, different soil types and existing plant communities.
Discuss your goals for function, habitat, beauty and seasonal interest.
Identify opportunities for native and pollinator plantings, meadow spaces.
Imagine spaces for outdoor seating areas, play structures and naturalistic stone walls that add function and dynamism to your yard.
Offer initial design direction and practical next steps for your landscape.
Most consultations last between 60-90 minutes and provide a clear path forward for your landscape and gardens.
