Consulting and Design Services
The term “consulting” can mean many different things, even within our industry. For us, consulting consists of giving professional advice, including plant and product selection, use and placement recommendations, and small-scale landscape planning. The process can be as simple as helping you select a houseplant or it can be more complex and require an appointment to assess your landscape project. When it comes to consulting on landscape projects, we only accept projects that are modestly sized, low maintenance, and plant-focused. We do not provide conventional landscape design services, including computer-generated or scaled plans, and installation or maintenance services.
The following are the two types of consulting services we provide…
Mini Consultation – This service is for customers who need dedicated time with a consultant. On average, each in-store consultation is about 15 - 30 minutes, during which time the consultant can answer your questions, shop the store with you, make suggestions, give design and placement recommendations, etc. No sketches or estimates will be given as a part of this service. There is no fee for this service; however, you must make an appointment. To request an appointment please complete the form on this page.
Traditional Consultation – If you are in need of a simple sketch and/or plant estimate you must use our traditional consulting service. This service is only available January – March and June – November. For all new projects, we require that you first complete a questionnaire to determine if we are the right fit for this project. To begin this process complete the form on this page. We will then email you the questionnaire to determine the scope of the project. We only consult on landscape projects one area at a time and do not provide installation services or comprehensive landscape design for the entire property in one consultation. If the project is deemed to be outside our scope of work after the questionnaire is complete, we will make every effort to provide recommendations for other companies who may be able to assist you. If the project is determined to be within our scope of work after the questionnaire is complete, we will then set up your initial in-person or phone consultation appointment. The purchase of a $150 gift card is required prior to scheduling this consultation. After your appointment, our consultant will create your simple sketch and plant estimate based on the information you provided during the initial consultation. They will make (1) complimentary revision for you, but subsequent revisions are $75 each (the initial gift card purchased is not applicable toward revisions).
