Our Services and Pricing

These are the design services we provide and the pricing we offer. We believe customers should know our pricing policies to better understand if we're a good match for your needs.

Contact us for a detailed quote or for services you need but don't see on our pricing page.


We provide design services only, not the installation for the plan. We can provide referrals for excellent contractors who will do the actual installation.


If requested, we can provide project management services for an additional fee.

Initial Phone Consultation

Free

I'm happy to discuss your project by phone to get an understanding of your needs, budget, and timeline. If we're a good match we can go to the next step, which is a Site Analysis. 

Just call me, email me, or send a contact form for me to get in touch with you.

Site Analysis

$150

I meet you at the site and we discuss your requirements, vision, and general budget. At that meeting, I will hand you design questions. When I receive your answers by email, I will then put together a design proposal that spells out the hours necessary for me to craft your design. 


If you decide to go forward with my services, we'll discount the total amount by the $150 for the cost of this step. 


Step 1: Contract

30% of total cost

I meet you again at the site to go over your design questions. At that time, I'll take detailed measurements and a detailed site analysis. From that, I'll develop a scaled site plan. Contract signed, scaled site plan developed. At this meeting, we'll sign a contract and you'll pay the first installment (30%) of the total contract cost

Step 2: Preliminary Plan Meeting

30% of total cost

I'll meet with you again and present to you a preliminary plan developed from the site plan, site analysis, and feedback from your answers. You'll receive a colored rendering of the plan, which you can review for about a week to consider any changes you may want.

At this meeting, you'll pay the second installment (30%) of the total contract cost.

Step 3: Final Plan Meeting

40% of total cost

You'll receive a comprehensive detailed plan, including all hardscape items and a detailed planting legend. I'll give you five copies of your plan for your contractor.

At this final meeting, you'll pay the final balance.
