Step 1: Garden Consultation
Every great garden starts with a conversation. We’ll begin with a 15-minute exploratory call to understand your goals and confirm we can help you on your gardening journey.
From there, we’ll schedule a one-hour in-person consultation to walk through your space, explore your ideas, and discuss what’s possible for your garden. This session is designed to give you the clarity and confidence to take the first steps toward your dream garden.
You'll receive a summary that includes practical garden setup essentials, and key recommendations based on our discussion which may include garden bed placement, vegetable garden size base on what you want to grow, and select materials. You’ll also receive a personalized design quote to help bring your vision to life, should you want additional support.
Step 2: Custom Design
After your consultation, if you’d like to move forward with a custom design, we’ll take precise measurements and evaluate your space in partnership with our contractors to ensure every detail is a perfect fit. Together, we’ll review our style guide, choose materials and features that match your vision, and design a space that’s both functional and beautiful.
Your design package includes:
A customized visual layout that maximizes growth and enhances the beauty of your space.
A full-service installation estimate.
An option to purchase a DIY Partner Plan if you prefer to install the garden yourself with our guidance.
The design step goes beyond a simple plan—it’s about creating a garden that reflects your style, supports your lifestyle, and thrives for years to come.
Step 3: Installation & Coaching
This is where your vision becomes a reality. Our installation services take care of everything, including preparing the space, installing raised beds, and planting. Every detail is managed with care to ensure your garden has a strong foundation to flourish.
But the journey doesn’t end there. To help you grow your skills and confidence, we offer personalized coaching designed to support you as you learn to care for your garden. From planting and maintenance to troubleshooting and harvesting, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
