Ecological Landscaping
We define ourselves as ecological landscapers because we take into consideration the relationships between plants and animals in natural communities. We enhance those relationships to create a stronger, healthier environment that maintains and preserves the natural beauty and balance of the local landscape. We believe that gardening with local native plants is essential to providing a regional identity to a designed landscape and nestling a house in its natural surroundings. 

We are currently booked for consultations, when we catch up on our waiting list we will start booking again for 2020.  
Design Consultation & Estimate for Landscape Installations: 
​All our garden installations start with an on-site visit to your property. We discuss your vision for the landscape, exchange ideas and assess the site conditions. Photos are taken and a proposal and estimate are returned via email for you to consider and for us to discuss further.  Please be aware that we are offered more projects than we can accept, so a meeting does not guarantee we will be able to take on a project. We give priority to projects that are biodiverse and benefit wildlife. However, any design ideas are yours to keep and we like to think our plant lists and resources will be helpful whether we do the project or use one of our referrals. 
The on-site visit and estimate is $100. At this time we are only working in Ulster County with a focus on towns that are within 15 miles of the nursery. 

If you would like to book a meeting to discuss your garden project, please fill out the contact box form on the home page and include your address; it is the most efficient way to schedule an appointment.

We are currently NOT booking for this service. We will be restructuring the format for 2020 to hopefully help more people.

​Design Assistance by Appointment in the Nursery:

We understand that many people have a vision of the garden they would like to create, but do not have the technical skill or horticultural savvy to make their dream a reality. We have always offered some design help in the nursery, but it was mostly on the spur of the moment and depended on a designer being available. We are now starting to offer assistance by appointment. Working with a designer can help you avoid costly mistakes and see your property in a new light. After making an appointment, you would need to email a few pictures of the area you want help with along with the dimensions of the space. When you come in you will also need to bring a simple sketch of the area showing where the sun comes up, any structures, large trees or other features (pools, septic, children's play sets etc.) that need to be considered. We will then measure out the area here and work with you to create a layout that is an appropriate design based on your environment, plant preferences and budget. We will then make a simple sketch of the plant layout for you and we can take some photos for reference. Drawings are not to scale.
​
The cost of this consultation is a purchase of $250 in either plants at the time of the consultation or as a gift certificate for future use. When purchased as a gift certificate it is transferable, can be divided into more than one and does not have an expiration date.
