Practical questions, answered straight.

Do you do installs, or just design?

Both — but the design always comes first. Our four-person build crew installs every whole-yard project we design. We don't take install-only contracts.

What about natives?

About 80% of our planting plans are native or near-native to the Pacific Northwest. We choose for ecological resilience first, ornamental beauty second — and the two correlate more than people think.

Will you work with my contractor?

Yes, on garden-room projects we frequently hand off to a homeowner's contractor or build crew. We don't on whole-yard work — too many things go sideways without us on-site.

How far do you travel?

Within 90 minutes of Portland for whole-yard work. Within 60 minutes for site-visit consults. Beyond that, ask us — we make exceptions for the right project.

Do you guarantee plants?

Yes, for one full year on whole-yard installs. Anything that dies in year-one we replace at no charge, including labour. Maintenance plan extends this indefinitely.

What's your budget floor?

Whole-yard work starts at $24k all-in for very small lots; most projects fall $32k–$96k. Garden-room from $4.8k. Site-visit consult is $240 with no minimum.

The first conversation is on us.

45 minutes on your property — soil, slope, sun, what you've been thinking. Six site visits a week, March through October. No deposit, no obligation.
