A more sophisticated plant palette is chosen as opposed to the more common variety with many selections even being water wise plantings. Soothing sounds and peaceful movement can be found through the swaying of large ornamental grasses in the wind or the tranquility of a cascading waterfall into a natural ecosystem pond. Perennial and ground cover plantings are chosen with an emphasis on length of bloom and interesting appeal from foliage. Bed lines will be delineated and contoured in a pleasing manner. Screened topsoil is added to new planting beds to create a layered raised bed effect set amongst rock boulders often contrasting with smaller river rock gravel. Niches between boulders create nicely informal planting pockets. Beds are then mulched as a finished top dress. Other finishing touches can include patio furniture, decorative containers and garden ornaments.

We will gladly quote you a fee during the initial on-site consultation (typically a flat rate between $1,800 and $3,600 with a 1/3 deposit being due up front) that will be required by our Landscape Architect to develop a Master Plan. It would be up to you if you would then prefer to have the implementation of the project done all at once or performed in manageable phased portions. To insure you can make informed realistic decisions on what is best for you, budgets and alternate rough drafts of the design for your property will be given to you in the middle of the planning process. The design phase of the project can take as long as 6 to 12 weeks depending on the time of year you call. With that being said, it is always best to consider scheduling your consultation early in the season if you desire an installation in the spring or summer.

We look forward to the chance to show you how very helpful and resourceful we can be while providing services in a friendly, cooperative and expeditious manner. It would be our goal to create a garden that fits within your busy lifestyle by offering you the luxurious refuge of a vacation without ever leaving your home. We look for ways to enrich the lives of our clients' families so that they can make the most of the time spent within their home environment. I thank you in advance for your consideration.
