Ecological Landscape Masterplan

Starting at $1,500+ (scaled to site size and complexity)

Who it's for:
Clients who want a complete, custom transformation—designed with intention and rooted in ecological principles.

What's included:

• Project Discovery Meeting
  We’ll clarify your goals, site conditions, style preferences, and functional needs.
• Comprehensive Site Analysis
  Including sun/shade patterns, soil health, drainage, microclimates, and viewsheds. We look for both constraints and hidden opportunities.
• Ecological Design Vision
  I’ll present a naturalistic design concept with guiding principles like biodiversity, seasonal interest, and habitat value. Includes inspiration photos and narrative overview.
• Spatial Layout Plan
  A thoughtfully organized plan for how you’ll move through the space, use different zones, and transition between garden areas.
• Custom Plant Palette
  Each planting zone is curated with plants chosen for your site conditions, beauty, ecological benefit, and long-term manageability. You’ll receive photos, bloom timing, and maintenance notes.
• Preliminary Review
  We’ll review a rough layout together and walk the site to visualize how it will feel in real life. You’ll get to give feedback before finalizing the plan.
• Final Design Package
  Delivered as a scaled site plan + planting layout + scope of work with plant quantities and materials. Includes a working budget estimate.
• Contractor Coordination (optional)
  I can assist in finding or briefing your installer, or prepare you for a DIY install.

Design Install Project Support

Hourly ($75/hr) or flat-fee packages $600–$1,200 depending on scope

Who it's for:
Clients who have a design and want to ensure the installation matches the vision—with expert help laying out plants, coordinating timing, and keeping quality high.

What's included:

• Plant Sourcing & Procurement
  I work with reliable sources to ensure you’re getting healthy, appropriate plant material. I'll handle pickup & delivery, or work with your installer. The Plants I source include a 3 month warranty.
• On-Site Plant Layout
  Every plant is placed in the landscape by hand to ensure aesthetic flow, appropriate spacing, and visual rhythm.
• Client Walk-through Prior to Install
  You’ll physically experience the layout before planting begins. We can adjust anything that feels off.
• Complete Install or Installation Day Support
  I'm available to do the work for you or to be on-site during planting to answer questions, help guide the team, and ensure the design is faithfully implemented.
• Post-Install Follow-Up
  A final check-in visit to assess plant health and site conditions. Includes early care recommendations and seasonal maintenance tips.

Seasonal Care & Long-Term Landscape Stewardship

Annual plans start at $350–$550/year, or a custom multi-year contract

Who it's for:
Clients who want help caring for their maturing landscape—especially during the critical early years—and guidance as the design evolves over time.

What's included:
Year 1–4: Establishment Phase

• Seasonal visits (1–2 per year) to assess growth and performance
• Weed management strategies and troubleshooting problem areas
• Editing recommendations (re-spacing, transplanting, removals)
• Soil health guidance, mulching, and irrigation checks
• Client coaching on seasonal tasks (pruning, deadheading, etc.)

Year 5–10: Ongoing Management & Editing

• Evaluation of how the plant communities are evolving
• Rebalancing efforts: reintroducing plants, cutting back others
• New ideas to enhance underperforming zones
• Optional enhancements (bulbs, habitat features, perennial refreshes)

Deliverables may include:

• Written seasonal checklists
• Updated planting maps (as-needed)
• Ongoing relationship with someone who knows the original design intent and can help it evolve naturally
