I specialize in custom garden and landscape design, including full-site plans, garden makeovers, pollinator and native plant gardens, xeriscapes, and edible landscapes. I also provide on-site consultations, plant and material guidance, and support through the installation phase with trusted contractors.
We begin with a one-on-one consultation at your property where I listen to your goals, evaluate the space, and identify challenges like shade, drainage, or privacy. Depending on scope, I create a detailed design plan with plant lists, materials, and care instructions.
Yes. A consultation-only option is perfect if you need expert advice, plant suggestions, or help solving specific issues like drainage problems, shade challenges, or material selection—without committing to a full design.
Absolutely. I work with many DIY homeowners and provide detailed plans, plant lists, layout guidance, and care instructions so you can confidently install your landscape at your own pace.
Most full designs are completed within 2–3 weeks after the initial consultation. Smaller consultations or garden sketches can often be completed sooner. I’ll provide a clear timeline once we meet.
Yes. Design work happens year-round. While planting depends on the season, planning in fall or winter ensures your landscape is ready when ideal planting conditions arrive.
Yes. Every client receives personalized plant care guidance, including watering needs, pruning timing, growth habits, and seasonal maintenance tips so you feel confident long after installation.
