Have Questions?
Have questions? Reach out! We’re happy to help.
Do I need to use a landscaper?+
No. Your plan is designed to give you flexibility. You can implement it yourself, work with your existing landscaper, or ask for local recommendations when available.
What if I don’t know what style or plants I want?+
That’s completely fine. Part of the design process is helping you identify what works for your property and what feels right for you. You do not need to arrive with a finished vision.
How long does the design process take?+
Most designs are delivered within approximately two weeks from the consultation or deposit, depending on scope.
Who will work on my landscaping project once I have a design?+
Once your design is complete, you’re free to implement it yourself or work with a landscaper of your choice. We can also recommend trusted local professionals if helpful.
Can you recommend where to buy plants and materials?+
Yes. We provide guidance on where to source plants and materials, including local nurseries and trusted online retailers. Check out our blog for our favorite picks.
