At Gardens By Design, we
differentiate ourselves by our ability to create interesting, low
maintenance landscapes
with multi-season interest, to improve curb appeal with new foundation
plantings and explore all aspects of exterior design with our clients.
Our specialty is using common plants in uncommon ways.
We address privacy,
hardscapes (walls, sidewalks, patios), outdoor living space (decks,
outdoor rooms), structures (pergolas, arbors) and water features.
During our meeting with you, we discuss your landscape needs. We learn
your likes and dislikes regarding colors, textures and specific
plants. We discuss the amount of maintenance you are willing to do in
order to help with our plant recommendations. We consider any special
situations or problems in your landscape. We can provide you with a questionnaire to help
you think through your landscape needs before
our meeting.
We are available to meet with you on an
hourly basis to discuss your landscape needs and address any questions
or issues on your property - $100/hour (1 hr. minimum). A front or back yard design for a
typical suburban lot takes approximately 2 1/2 hours to complete if you have
an accurate survey of the property.
At the end of our meeting, you will receive a packet
containing:
-
written recommendations as discussed during our
meeting
-
an on-site pencil drawing if desired and
-
useful information on soil preparation, planting and
watering
