“When despair for he world grows in me
And I wake in the night at the least sound
In fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
Rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
Who do not tax their lives with forethought
Of grief. I come into the presence of still water.”
Wendell Berry
Consultation and Design Work
An initial brief consultation is free. At that time, we will give you a rough estimate of what we think this will cost. It is an estimate and is subject to change as the plan is developed and finalized. If what you need is an overall long term plan for your yard, more help to understand what you want out of you yard or assistance with specific need of individual plants then we can do a consultation which usually lasts one to two hours and costs $150. We will try to ascertain what you want done in your garden and your timetable for doing so. If you want, we will also prepare a design for an entire garden or a specific location. This involves measuring your space, making a detailed drawing including the plants, trees, and shrubs we recommend and then researching and pricing plants, trees and shrubs. Since this involves several hours of off-site work, you will be billed for our time at $50 an hour.
