From first walk to first bloom

One designer stays with your garden from the site visit to the first-year check-ins. You always know who to call.

  1. Hand-drawn garden plan with circles marking planting groups
    Week 1

    We walk the yard with you

    Two hours on site. We test the soil, note where water sits after rain and ask how you actually use the space.

  2. Gardener carrying a spade through a planted bed
    Weeks 2 to 4

    You get a drawn plan and a fixed price

    A scaled plan, a plant list for every bed and one number for the build. No surprise line items later.

  3. Hands setting a young plant into dark soil
    Spring or fall

    Our crew builds and plants

    Most gardens take one to three weeks. We protect your lawn edges, haul everything away and leave the beds mulched.

  4. Pale purple phlox spilling over a gravel path
    The first year

    We come back four times

    Weeding, replacing anything that sulks and teaching you the ten minutes a week the garden needs.

We used to mow it every Saturday. Now we sit out there every evening and count the goldfinches.
