You will notified via email at least 24 hours prior to a visit. On the day of, I will ring the doorbell to let you that I've arrived, and then proceed with maintenance as planned. At the end of the day, you'll receive a copy of your personalized care plan, outlining the work that was done, as well as an invoice for services rendered. If the areas needing care are inaccessible, and I can't get ahold of you, then I will depart and email you to reschedule.
Design consultations start with an in-person meeting at your property. There, we'll discuss your needs, wants, and budgets. After the meeting, you'll be sent a design contract, which will outline the terms for estimates, plans, plant palettes, referrals, and other items you may want.
Design consultations require a $40 downpayment prior to scheduling, and then are charged on an hourly basis upon signature of a design contract.
Hardscape services, such as the construction of walls, steps, firepits, patios, water features, and irrigation systems are not available at this time, though I can provide hardscape details for paid designs.
