FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I create a detailed budget based on labor, plants and my design fee. I don't work by the hour and neither do my guys. I bid the project based on how long it will take me to shop, install and design. I never go over budget because if there is something we decide to do after the estimate is done, you will sign off on everything, big or small. No surprises. Thanks.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1) Give a free estimate by doing a walk thru, info/garden history/discuss ideas. 2) Send photos of garden as is, with suggestions for plants or other elements and prices. 3) If necessary prep any area of the property before planting. 4) Plant first phase of design. 5) Fill in more plants and change anything that is not working for the client and myself. 6). Come back in two weeks free of charge to see everything and tweak if necessary.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been landscaping for ten years, initially creating succulent arrangements for retail. I have an eye for beauty and I know how to stage gardens. I have a strong work ethic, and I deliver on budget, and on time. I show up open minded, but prepared.
