FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically we start swith an initial consultation which includes a conversation with the client during a site visit, taking some preliminary measurements and beginning the design process. Once a design has been created (in cases where new or updated landscaping is requested), we create a budget estimate for installation.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a certified master gardener, and have been a gardener for more than 10 years. I have recently started my own firm focusing on using organic and science-based techniques for garden management.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
It is always a good idea to think about what you are realistically willing to pay for new or updated landscaping. It is estimated that good landscaping can increase the value of your home between 10 and 20 percent, but good landscaping comes at a price. In addition, it is always great when clients have some examples of plants, gardens and garden features they admire during the consultation so that these concepts, or alternate approaches, can be worked into the final design when appropriate.
