How much do you charge for consultations?

For those wanting a full landscape design, consultation fees are included in the final cost of the design.

We offer project management services for $100 per hour. On-site landscape advice is offered at $50 per 30 minutes.

How long are your consultations?

Design consultations are booked as one-hour appointments with an additional hour reserved in case we go overtime.

Design consultations are followed up with a thorough site evaluation including photos, measurements, and site notes. You do not need to be on-site for this site evaluation, but you are more than welcome to hang out and chat plants!

If you just want help with plant ID, pest control, landscape care, or a quick sketch, we will start with 30 minutes on-site and move on from there.

What is included in a consultation?

Consultations are the foundation for the next life stage of your landscape! We will discuss potential plant selection, hardscape enhancements, placements, and identify any pest issues that may be of concern. Consultation includes on-site sketches, notes taken during the visit, list of plants discussed, and an outline of recommended actions to take. I can provide you with the names of appropriate landscapers to contact.

What about a formal landscape design?

All landscape design plans are drafted in AutoCAD and come with, when applicable: a demolition plan, a hardscape/mulch plan, and a landscape/planting plan. Any consultation fees are rolled into the final cost of the design! Initial consultation includes a site evaluation where we discuss your vision for the landscape, we go over plant and hardscape preferences, and I take photos and measurements of the site. The final presentation package includes reference photos for hardscape items and a detailed master plant list with photos and information about each plant. The plans begin at $400 to $1000+ and include a follow-up meeting to discuss moderate revisions for the final draft. I can connect you with my choice of installers to help make the plan a reality.

A rough breakdown of cost is as follows:

$800 for a full landscape (front and backyard of a typical sized lot) or a portion of a large lot (¼+ acre)

$1000+ for a large lot or complex designs requiring multiple details

We offer 3D models starting at $500+!
