Design Services

Comment from client: "We love our plans. The detail and extra effort you put into them are truly appreciated." Marge B.

The level of my design service is flexible according to the needs of the client.

Consultation: 1 1/2 to 2 hours, plus a written summary of the meeting Discuss specific problems or challenges in your landscape. The consultation includes at least one and one-half hour discussion on site, and a detailed summary of the meeting. If you decide you want a full design, this fee will go towards the design	$150.00 minimum for: 1 1/2 to 2 hour meeting plus report; $70.00 each additional hour
Partial Landscape Design Includes planting plan, and if appropriate a hardscaping plan, for a specific area of your garden	$1000 -1400 depending on size and complexity
Full Landscape Design Including planting plan; hardscaping plan if appropriate; sketches; and Design Booklet with detailed installation information and maintenance instructions; consultation during installation may be included if desired (see Design Process)	$1600 -2400 for average lot size and conditions

The development of a design is collaboration between designer and client, so this the initial consultation is just a first step in producing a design, and will provide a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the property, and some possible solutions to consider. The fee for this meeting will be deducted from the cost of the design if the client decides to pursue the design process further. This meeting will be billed as a regular consultation, see chart.

The amount of time necessary to produce a full design depends on the scope of the project. I can usually deliver a design in approximately 6 weeks.

I can recommend reputable, skilled contractors and craftsmen to help you make your design a reality.
