Our sustainable landscape design plans bring to life your desires for your space, while meeting your budget and maintenance needs. We individually create a unique plan to complement you and your family’s dream space. We work with landscape contractors to remain part of the process from dream to reality.
DESIGN
What is a design plan?
A design plan works with the balance of the needs and desires of all residing on the property and the land we are working with. We can solve drainage problems and water issues with water reclamation, create gorgeous outdoor living and dining areas, offer spaces for children to explore and tempt their curiosities, and nourish families with delicious home grown foods and herbs. We focus on utilizing low-maintenance plant selections that work with our adapting climate. A design plan includes three hours of detailed consultation, an overhead to scale grid of the new design on the property, a plant list with counts, plant profile pictures, and illustrations and images for carpentry and structural elements. We develop phasing if necessary for installation to fit within budgets and timelines, and work with contractors through the installation process so you can have one company to maintain consistency through your project. We specialize in plant procurement and layout for landscape construction companies so the design looks as intended from start to finish. Landscape design plans begin at $2,000 per yard area for a standard city sized lot. Plant procurement pricing varies on market availability and on-site consultation with contracting companies and plant layout is $120 per hour.
Accommodating Modifications to Landscape
The layout of your yard may no longer be the most efficient, reachable space for you. We use permaculture and design theory with a background in body mechanics and movement to redefine your space so it suits you today, tomorrow, and in the future. Your spacial layout needs to be practical for your body to be accessible. We look at all areas of the yard from the layout of higher maintenance plants, the height of garden beds, color theory and lighting, materials for pathways, stairs, tiering and ramps, and furniture layout to make your outdoor experience functional and efficient. Our goal is to have you enjoy your full yard with a connected sensory relationship. Design plans range from design by the hour to full design plans.
Design Consultation
A consultation is different for every property and person as it is based on the goals we set in the beginning of our time together. Whether it is advice about current plants and their locations, ways to make the space more functional, seasonal amendments, or enhancing your property for entertaining you will gain expert information and new, inspiring ideas. Design Consultation is hourly based, and can include ideas to redefine and transform specific garden areas by going to a nursery or doing plant layouts. This is excellent for small spaces and individual garden bed modifications, setting up space for parties or events, or residential house sales. Hourly design makes an amazing housewarming, birthday, or retirement gift! $160/hr for the initial session, and $120 for each hour following for future meetings or off site work.
Container Design and Planting
Annual plantings for every season including bold color, pollinator supporting plants, and edible foods. Containers are an excellent way to dress up patios and balconies for parties, refreshing your existing landscape, or creating an urban oasis. We will meet to go over aesthetic choices, and acquire containers for you or plant in your existing pots. $160 for the initial design planning hour, and $120/hr for planting and arranging. Shopping time is covered with an acquisition fee.
