I can help you create the garden of your dreams
I am available to help with garden advising, design, installation, and maintenance. Advising and design services can be virtual or in-person. All installation and maintenance services are in-person.
Advising
-
Advising sessions can take place virtually or in your garden.
I’ll answer questions you have about caring for and improving your landscape, help you identify plants, and whatever else you’d like advising on. Schedule as many of these as you’d like.
-
$150 for one hour of garden advising and follow-up notes
$500 for a package of four sessions
Design
-
After learning about your needs, desires, and the specifics of your landscape, I will create a detailed garden design to be implemented by me (see “installation” option) or by you.
-
Design cost varies by size and complexity. I will visit with you first to determine an appropriate design fee.
Installation
-
This option is for installation of new garden beds or installation of new plants to renovate existing beds. This will entail any tasks required to prepare the site (specific to your situation) and planting.
Note: hourly rate does not include plants and other materials that stay in your garden. The design fee is also separate from my hourly installation rate.
-
$100 per hour for installation, including site preparation and planting.
Maintenance
-
I can help with regular maintenance of your existing garden over an entire season or short-term help to complete a project or perform spring or fall cleanup.
Note: hourly rate does not include plants and addition of other materials (such as mulch).
-
I charge $75 per hour for maintenance, with a minimum of four hours. My minimum time can be split across several visits depending on your needs.
