Unlike other landscape companies we take proper care to prepare your beds. This is a standard dig out of a new bed before filled in with fresh organic compost. Most other copies just dig holes, which in our black clay is like putting a clay pot down in the earth than placing a plant to be contained. This labor intensive work pays off when it comes time to plant! We are a fair trade company, this work deserves a good wage.
How it works:
Contact us and schedule a consultation-price varies depending on designer and complexity. The consultation gives you and I a chance to get acquainted, learn your style, study your space(soil and light conditions), discuss budgetary guidelines, hear your dreams, and begin the design process. Now we can access how much time is needed to design your landscape or small garden A design retainer Is needed for larger jobs(small gardens we often run consultation and design together to save you money). We get to work, and you get excited as now we are weeks, or months away from your new out door living space, enjoy... For clarification on price see policy page.
Terms of Service
- On a rare basis, unforeseen extra work is uncovered, due to the nature of landscaping. Rather than pad this into the fee, we believe it to be fair and advantageous to our clients that we simply make adjustments in the event that such an occurrence surfaces. We do not anticipate this happening; however, if problems are uncovered (i.e. plumbers, drainage, troublesome vines or roots, etc.), we always provide the homeowner with a notice and an estimate of additional costs.
- If in a rare situation, we notice irrigation or plumbing problems (i.e. broken heads, leaks or cut electric lines) after our crew finishes your job, give us the first call. In most cases, we will be able to repair any damage that we might indirectly cause, at our cost. However, we will not be responsible for the cost of repairs if we are not given the first opportunity for repairs.
- Your deposit is to cover materials used to complete your job and our crew’s scheduling so therefore the deposit is non-refundable.
- All sales tax is included in the total value.
- Groundbreaking dates and time estimates are dependent upon no unforeseen events happening—such as adverse weather conditions or plant availability.
- Due to plant availability, plant substitutions may be necessary. Elizabeth gives special attention to find plants that best suit your garden.
- We guarantee the life of our plants the 1st 30 days, assuming they get proper care and there are no adverse weather conditions (sudden drop in temperature or temperatures in 20’s or below). However, if a plant dies despite adequate care, we must be notified within that 30 day time frame and we welcome our clients to come pick up replacement plants from our shoppe free of charge. If a tree we install dies, James or Elizabeth will determine the cause; if the tree is faulty, our crew will remove the tree and replace it at no cost to the client.
- If a job is delayed due to adverse weather or changes that have lengthened the job , another installment date will need to be made before completion.
Financial Matters
- After your initial consultation, a designer will estimate the cost of your design package. At that time a 50% retainer is due, which is non-refundable. The remaining half of the design fee is due at the time of presentation.
- If you secure our services for a design only, please keep in mind that the design cost may be higher since we are producing a detailed package for others to follow.
- To secure our services a deposit is required. (See Job description for more information.)
- A minimum hauling fee ($30 to $60) reflects the reality that our crews prepare for the maintenance or installation of your gardens off-site. This includes picking up plants, assembling needed equipment, etc.
- A 2% service fee will be applied to all credit card payments over the phone.
