Garden Consultation

Sometimes your garden just needs a fresh perspective — and that’s where I come in. Whether you’re staring at an empty backyard, a struggling flower bed, or considering hardscaping elements like patios or pathways, my garden consultations are designed to bring clarity, creativity, and confidence to your outdoor space.

This is a great option if you want professional input without committing to a full design. Think of it like a garden brainstorm session, with solutions rooted in real expertise and tailored entirely to you.

What’s Included

🌿 Personalized Garden Assessment

We’ll walk through your space together while I assess:
• Sunlight exposure
• Soil quality + drainage
• Existing plants and hardscape layout
• Flow, function, and focal points

But more importantly, I’ll listen — to your goals, frustrations, and dreams for the space.

🌸 Custom Ideas + Plant & Hardscape Guidance

Based on our walkthrough and chat, I’ll offer recommendations for:
• Plants that thrive in your unique conditions
• Bed layouts, reconfigurations, and color layering
• Potential areas for hardscape additions (like seating, edging, or paths)
• Soil health, pest solutions, and low-maintenance strategies

You'll walk away with real, actionable guidance — no fluff, just personalized solutions.

🍁 Seasonal Planning & Maintenance Tips

Every garden has its rhythm. I’ll share tailored tips to keep yours blooming year-round — from spring planting schedules to winter protection methods.
