Our Process & Services
All projects start off with a discovery call:
A discovery call is a time for you to learn more about us and our services, go over any questions, review your project, and see if we are a good fit. You must have a budget and be ready to install within 4 months in order to schedule a $100 site visit. Only clients that want to work with our specific system in creating a truly sustainable landscape where we use natural materials, native, drought tolerant, and edible plants will be considered. We are typically booked out 30-90 days.
After completing a discovery call we can then schedule a site visit for an estimate and or consultation.
Estimates:
You must schedule a consultation first. This service includes a site visit and an estimated cost for your project provided within 7 business days. Estimates take time, energy and fuel. In order to provide you with the best service we charge $100 site visit fee to provide an estimate. You must have pre-existing plans to request an estimate. Due to increasing poor design standards we only work with a few select designers and landscaper architects that are capable of producing designs that meet our standards. We no longer install partial projects, assist with DIY installations etc. If you do not have plans and need them you can find the details on our nursery website.
Consultations:
Due to rising fuel costs consulting is suspended. Design/install clients all receive consultation as a part of your package.
How Much Does it Cost?:
Site Visit $100 site visit.
Design Desing work is now completed on a selective basis through our nursery The Planted Seed Nursery where we design resilient landscapes that harmonize with nature. Design work starts at $1200 base/+hourly design rate, plus mandatory consultation. Space is limited. The nursery accepts no more than 8 per year.
Landscaping Varied and trends around $16-$35+ sq. ft. depending on your sites needs. We design and install to the sites needs not to obtain a specific design aesthetic. If you are unsure of how much the installation will cost, you can measure your yard and estimate the sq.ft. This will give you a rough estimate based on the numbers below. Because we allow each unique individual site to inform our processes and in working with nature and creating functional ecosystems it is likely your installation will cost $25+sq.ft.
