Services · three packages, one invoice each

By the time the redbud blooms, you’ll know where every plant goes.

I sell garden design in three sizes, each with a fixed price and a list of exactly what lands in your inbox. Pick the one that fits the yard, or tell me about it and I’ll point you to it.

Before you commit

What people ask before they pick

Is the first call really free?

Yes. About forty minutes by phone or video, and I’ll tell you honestly which package fits, even when that’s the cheapest one.

When do I pay?

I send one invoice per package after you accept a quote. Nothing is charged before then.

Can I start with the Planting Plan and upgrade later?

You can. Tell me when you book and I’ll put the Planting Plan fee toward a Whole Yard if you move up within the same zone.

Do you install the garden?

No. I draw it and talk your contractor through the sheets. If you’re planting yourself, the plant list is written to carry into a nursery.

How big a yard is one package?

Each package covers one yard zone: a front yard, a back yard or a side slope. A second zone is priced separately, and I’ll quote it on the call.

Before our call

What to have in hand

  1. Four photos, one per corner. Shoot inward from the edge of the yard.
  2. A rough measured sketch. Back door to fence. Paces are fine.
  3. Sun at 9, noon and 4. Where the shade falls.
  4. The one thing you’d hate to lose. It goes on the plan first.

Tell me about the yard; I’ll quote the package that fits.

I answer quotes myself, usually within one working day. Studio at 230 Pee Dee Ave, Norwood, NC 28128, by appointment.
