As you might have guessed from reading my blog; I am passionate about gardening. I have worked as a landscape consultant and horticulturist for over 13 years in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Whether you have just moved to the desert and have no idea what you are doing or maybe you are a long time resident and need some help with either a new or old landscape, I can help.
A consultation not only helps you to have an attractive garden, but can also save you money buy suggesting appropriate plants, placement and maintenance scheduling.
CONSULTATION
SERVICES OFFERED:
BASIC
CONSULTATION: I visit your landscape/garden and do a walk through ascertaining
your needs. I discuss with you your desires for your garden;
low-maintenance, color, more interest, etc. I will help you to identify
what plants you currently have and how to care for them. Verbal
recommendations for what plants should be removed, pruned or replaced will be
covered. A written list of recommended plants is included.
$105*
*A written
report including photos of the basic consultation is available for an
additional $60.
The
following can also be added to the basic consultation.....
PERSONALIZED
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE: A 12-month personalized, written maintenance
schedule tailored to the needs of your landscape. How and when to prune,
irrigate and fertilize. This is a great money saving option for the
homeowner because most people over-water and over prune their plants. Basic consultation fee + $65.
DESIGN:
A hand-drawn design for you to implement in your own garden. I can also
do a photo design of certain areas of your garden. The photo design
option has worked well for clients whose landscapers are doing the installation
and who may not speak or read English well. Price is dependent on the
project.
SPECIALTY
GARDENS: Want to create a garden specifically for hummingbirds or
butterflies? Hand-drawn design tailored to your garden and a written
plant list. Price dependent on the size of the project.
NURSERY
VISIT: A nursery visit to acquaint you with the different plants that will grow
and thrive in your garden. Learn about the mature size of plants along
with their needs and the best time to plant. $60/hr
YEARLY OR
SEASONAL FOLLOW-UP VISIT: I will re-visit your garden and make
suggestions for any 'tweaking' needed including any recommended changes in
maintenance, plant replacement, etc. $85
I currently
serve the Phoenix metropolitan area, within 1 hour driving time from the East
Valley. I occasionally do take consults in areas farther out, depending
on how busy I am, so please feel free to inquire.
Please email me to set up a
consultation. I look forward to working with you :-)
