Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you install gardens?
No, I do not have the capacity to do garden installations at this time; I only offer design and coaching. If you have a landscaper you’d like to work with for the planting, I can attend planning meetings or be available to help translate the garden design to reality.
-
How long is the waitlist?
I have a limited number of clients I can serve each year, so I may ask if you can wait until the next quarter. I generally do not do designs in December and January.
-
What area do you serve?
I serve the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area, but there is a travel fee for sites more than 30 min trip from 55406 zip code (Longfellow neighborhood, Minneapolis).
-
How do you determine a garden design price?
Design service prices are determined by both the size and complexity of design. Example projects are below:
$200 project: <100 sq ft. Small “troublesome” corner or boulevard.
$400 project: <1,000 sq ft. Average city front yard; rain garden; or multiple small gardens.
$600+: >1,000 sq ft. Average suburban front yard; long borders; multi-year/staged designs; or more complex design considerations.
-
Do you design hardscapes?
No, I do not design or install hardscapes (i.e. patios, retaining walls, etc.). I may include pathways in a garden design and suggestions for materials, but not specifications for installation.
