You should expect a consultative, solutions-oriented approach to your project. You should expect to work with people who are personable, down-to-earth, and easy to talk with. We love what we do, so we truly enjoy hearing about your goals, and sharing our knowledge and ideas on how to achieve them. You should expect a detailed design and estimate before we begin, courteous staff for the duration of your project, and a landscape you can be proud of when we’re through.

One of the most difficult aspects of any home improvement endeavor is knowing how much to spend on the project. Because attractive landscaping will increase your home’s value, and dramatically enhance your use and enjoyment of your property, some sources recommend investing 10% of your home’s present value on landscaping. The fact is, a good landscape designer can help you achieve significant improvements on virtually any size budget. The important thing is to decide ahead of time what your budget is, and discuss this with your designer so that they can design for that amount.

No, we do not charge for estimates of any maintenance services or landscape work. We evaluate the project and give you a free of charge estimate of what it could cost.

Our objective is to help you take your ideas and grow them into the landscape of your dreams. To do so we works collaboratively to determine which services best suit your needs, budge and timetable, based on your goals for outdoor living space. Mike has also worked successfully with architects, engineers, soils specialists, arborists, builders and interior designers.

Ideally, the design process is collaborative so that we work together to create a place of beauty and personal meaning especially for you. We listen carefully to your ideas and vision for the property and obtain as much input as possible from you about your goals, lifestyle and likes/dislikes through our dialog. The more information you give me upfront, the better, i.e. photos you have collected of favorite gardens, plants, furniture, containers, etc. We then work to create a garden setting that meets your goals, reflects your aesthetic tastes and complements your house architecture and site character.

Even if you have requested a “low maintenance” garden, every garden requires some tender loving care to help it grow in and achieve its intended beauty. This can usually be accomplished with a combination of regular weekly maintenance and specialty services provided as needed throughout the year.

Proper maintenance of your garden includes water management through the seasons by adjusting your sprinkler timeclock, monitoring your irrigation system for coverage and repairs/adjustments needed, pruning young trees and shrubs for structure, deadheading perennials, weeding, periodic fertilization and bed clean-up (especially in the spring and fall).
