We Plan, You Plant!
Thank you for taking the first step towards a more beautiful garden. There is no design fee for this service (our design time is normally billed at $90.00 per hour), because we ask you to purchase your materials from us as compensation. We will give you multiple choices in different sizes and prices. Also, from 25 years of experience and thousands of these designs, we know that you will need to set this appointment no sooner than two weeks before you intend to install your new landscape. Because of the many plants you will look at, it becomes confusing and we will have to start all over again if we do not make decisions at the appointment.
Before your appointment... please prepare the preliminary information below so that we many use your scheduled time more effectively. The graphic below includes suggested helpful dimensional information for measuring your specific site area. And, a piece of graph paper is included for your project sketch. Remember to bring photos showing the area from different angles.

A few key points to keep in mind...
* Specify the area you would like to enhance or redesign, and what you would like to accomplish.
* Which direction does your area face? North South East West
* Would you prefer easy care plants, or is this not a concern?
* How many hours of sun and shade does the area receive on a daily basis?
* Is it a protected or a windy area?
* Would you like evergreen, deciduous, or a combination of both?
* Do you need a focal point or a basic foundation for other plantings?
* Are there color preferences you would like to incorporate into the landscape?
* Would you like to screen or camouflage an unattractive view?
* Does the area have good drainage? Is the area usually wet or dry?
* Other helpful information that will assist us in designing your garden.
