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.
The site visit and plan drawing
Good landscapes begin before a shovel hits the ground.

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.
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.
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.
You receive a line-by-line price. Build with us within six months and half your design fee is credited back.
The plan is yours to keep either way. If you hire us, the crew that builds it works from the same drawing Nell made for your yard. No subcontracted planting.
