All Garden Coach services include:

• An onsite visit to assess the property first-hand
• A follow-up written report with specific recommendations

Consultation Visit

This walk-through of your property focuses on your specific questions and needs. Topics may include an overall evaluation of your landscape design, trees, shrubs and plant identification, pruning and dead-heading recommendations, bed lines and garden layout. We'll talk about "garden rooms" and how you can expand your living spaces outdoors. We'll look at sun and shade patterns and overall growing conditions in your property. Written recommendations are tailored to your site's unique features and needs.

Garden Coaching

Some clients are already experienced gardeners who just need an extra pair of eyes and a coach's experience and fresh perspective. Coach discusses any concerns that you might have and any changes that you would like to see in your garden. Coaching services can be a one-time event, or a package that includes a visit during each of the four seasons to help you keep your landscape beautiful all year.
