I really enjoyed working with Terry. She listened to what I was trying to do to my landscaping project and responded with a beautiful and clever plan to add texture and color to my new garden. The plan lays everything out and is beautiful. Now on to installing this fabulous plan to make the gardens come alive. Terry is wonderful to work with.

Well done. Professional and pleasant. Just finished job several days ago and garden looks great! UPDATE: Terry came back today to look at the garden to ensure all her plantings were growing and healthy. She spruced up the garden, added mulch, and replaced some of the plants. REALLY WONDERUL.

Terry has been fantastic. She is helping me prepare for a grad party and the front of my yard definitely needed some work. She is extremely knowledgeable and had some great ideas. She understood my budget constraints and was able to creatively work within those limits. Wonderful!

I was looking for someone to take over the care of my garden. She has and she does excellent work. I have put my garden in her hands!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  My labor is $65. per hour for gardening, weekly maintenance, planting seasonal containers, and Spring and Fall cleanups. This does not include materials such as plants, fertilizer, soil, etc. Landscape design and installation are priced individually because they vary from project to project.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I like to respond promptly by phone or email. If that goes well, then I like to set up a meeting with the client at the work site to actually see the space and discuss the project they have in mind. We can then talk about their needs, how they want to be able to use the area, ideas, and wish list. From there we can discuss my suggestions and options and I can give them an idea of price.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  Degree in Horticulture, U of Guelph, Ontario. 30 + years experience in landscaping design/build in Minnesota, Brooklyn, NY, Naples, Florida, and California
