FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I can give a better estimate as to the cost of the project after I have looked at it. Each project has different needs and circumstances that can effect the cost of that particular project.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I received my degree in Environmental Horticulture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I went to work for a large, commercial landscape company in San Diego County. I worked my way up from laborer to account manager. I worked for the for 6 years. After this I went to work for a well-known nursery that focused on drought tolerant plant materials. I designed landscapes for them for 7 years until I went off on my own. actually, now that I am on my own I still design projects for them, just as an independent designer.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I recently helped a customer transform their standard neighborhood front yard to a succulent garden that is just about magazine ready. They also told me that their water bill is down more than 50%. They recently told me that they spend more time looking at their garden than they do maintaining it.
