Our Process
-
All projects start with a phone call to discuss project scope - if it sounds like a good fit we schedule a site visit.
At our site visit we assess the environmental conditions and discuss ideas and dreams for the space, in order to create a proposal.
As each site is unique, depending on the scale of the project it will take us 2-4 weeks to deliver a design with initial estimates and images.
Once the proposal is approved, we request a deposit and get details for more specific numbers and images.
-
Installations usually happen May - October. We source from quality nurseries in Long Island, personally selecting each plant. Small installations can take a day. Larger full backyard with front yard can take almost a week. We are always happy to break projects up into stages to fit budgets.
-
Gardens are investments, so we strongly encourage maintenance packages with newly planted gardens. Maintenance packages are also great for keeping an eye on the health of a garden, as city gardens take a lot of wear and tear. We have a history of being able to revive pest-infested gardens with regular, monthly maintenance. We recommend a monthly maintenance schedule from April - November to keep your garden healthy!
