The site visit and plan drawing

A plan you can hold in your hands.

Good landscapes begin before a shovel hits the ground.

Designed at your kitchen table.

We do not begin with a plant list. We begin with the way water moves, what the trees are doing, where deer travel, and how you live in the yard.

Your finished drawing gives you a practical way to build now, later, or in phases.

01

The site visit

$150 · 90 minutes on your property

Nell walks the yard with you, measures it, marks the hours of sun, probes soil, follows storm water, finds deer paths and browse lines, and asks which windows you look out of most.

02

The plan drawing

Front yard $850 · Full yard $1,600–$2,800

A hand-drawn scaled plan at 1/8 inch to the foot, finished in colored pencil. Every plant is labelled, with quantities and pot sizes, a sun and shade map, drainage notes, paths, steps, and optional phasing across two seasons. One kitchen-table review and two rounds of changes are included.
