Our design training and experience is put to work on your project from the moment we visit with you onsite. Strong design lines, robust and dynamic plantings and a solid hardscape framework are the underpinnings of a successful and desirable outdoor setting. Whether you prefer the organic, naturalistic forms of a country garden, or the clean geometry of a more modern expression, our design skills will create a winning outdoor setting to calm, inspire and delight you, your family, and guests.
First, based on your goals and budget, we’ll visit with you to discuss your ideas for the space, and explore design possibilities for your yard.
Next, we’ll perform a site analysis of your landscape, measure the property, photograph existing features, assess the building’s style and neighborhood context, take soil samples, and build a base map (to scale) of the work site or property.
Then we’ll meet again to review these assessments, initial design concepts and landscaping plans, along with price estimates of hardscape, soil amendments and plant material for the developing garden.
After adjustments and additional ideas are incorporated into the design, a final plan is developed, along with a price quote for implementation, a detailed plant list and key recommendations for ongoing garden care.
Our services continue with construction of your professionally-designed landscape, or – in some instances – working with subcontractors to professionally install with our oversight and coordination.
MAINTENANCE & ONSITE CONSULTING
Green Plumb Garden Design has decades of experience working on environmental initiatives, including public awareness campaigns on clean air, water and improved habitats, and our garden maintenance work continually promotes a more sustainable approach to the landscape. Julia Plumb chose the Conway School of Landscape Design (csld.edu) for its emphasis on ecological land planning and restorative habitat training. As a result, our garden maintenance efforts and green lawn care practices reflect this commitment to a healthier, more diverse and resilient environment.
Green Plumb Garden Design provides organic garden and lawn care work including seasonal cleanups, ongoing plant care – staking, feeding, pruning, deadheading – and evaluation of watering needs and soil conditions. At the heart of our maintenance efforts is our focus on healthy soil life – the foundation for any successful and robust garden or lawn. Let Green Plumb Garden Design help your yard and garden become healthy, beautiful and chemical free.
