How is a garden made?

Curious what it looks like to turn ideas into a reality in your garden spaces? Follow this flow chart to help you understand the common design and installation process for clients and what services are right for you.

The timeline from start to finish depends on the season, the pace you want to go, phasing + budget, and availability of contractors, plants, and materials.

Most gardens take around 9 months from consult to completion, just like a human baby! So be sure to reach out 2 seasons before you really want that garden ready to enjoy (example: July consultation = April installation).
