A well-designed landscape begins with a thoughtful conversation. Whether you're considering a retaining wall to manage a slope or refreshing your curb appeal with plantings, our consultation process is designed to help you make informed decisions with confidence.

What’s Included

Our complimentary consultation includes two key components:

Up to 45 Minutes On-Site

During our on-site visit, we’ll walk your property together, discussing your goals while assessing site conditions. This includes evaluating factors such as sunlight exposure, drainage patterns, soil type, and current plantings.

Up to one hour of design and estimation time

After the visit, we dedicate up to an hour to sketch preliminary concepts, research materials, and prepare an estimate. This gives you a clear idea of scope, style, and potential investment.
