Consultation & Strategy

 

Initial On-Site Consultation — $350

Written Strategy & Vision Report — $150/hour

Typical range: 1–2 hours. Additional time billed as needed.

A written report translating site conditions and client intent into planting and spatial recommendations. Includes plant suggestions, care guidance, and sourcing information.

 

Garden Design — $150/hour

Projects are typically completed within a $1,500–$2,250 range, depending on scope and size.

Development of a comprehensive site plan. Rather than using digital renderings, I create a feeling of the garden through on-site photographs assembled ‘David Hockney-style’.

Revisions requested after completion of the plan are billed at the same hourly rate.

 

Oversight & Horticultural Management

 

Site Management & Project Oversight — $150/hour

Placement and layout of plants on site prior to installation.

Overseeing installations, coordinating crews, and ensuring design consistency on-site.

​

Post-Installation Well-Check — Complimentary

A one-time, 60-minute max site visit when weekly/bi-weekly gardener is present. Scheduled 1–2 weeks after installation to ensure proper plant establishment and irrigation balance. Included with all managed installations.

​

Garden Development Service — $200/month
Monthly 60-minute visit focused on ongoing refinement: plant health, layout tweaks, density balance, and continued development of the garden as it matures. This service is intended as continuity of horticultural oversight and design direction, not maintenance. Intervention work is billed separately as needed.

Specialized, hands-on work including technical pruning, plant diagnosis, and garden restoration.
