Investment Guide

Vision & Values

Our full-service garden installations start around $20,000. This reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and spaces that feed body and soul.

We create vibrant, ecological landscapes that balance beauty, food production, habitat support, and personal use. Your investment supports:

  • Craft-built spaces made to last

  • Sustainable practices that restore rather than deplete

  • Edible & native plantings that nourish your family and the earth

Design Drafting

Design drafting is billed at an hourly rate of $135. Most projects typically fall between $1,000–$3,000, depending on the size, slope, and complexity of the site.

Sites that are particularly steep, expansive, or have unique challenges may require a larger investment. We'll always provide a clear estimate based on an initial consultation, so you’ll know what to expect before we begin.

What’s Included at the $20K+ Level

Typical full-service install includes:

  • Site Prep – demo, soil grading, drainage infrastructure

  • Soil Building – compost, veggie/fruit-ready amendments, mulch

  • Hardscape – patio or pathway with natural materials (e.g., flagstone, DG, gravel)

  • Planting – native & edible plants (gallon sizes and up)

  • Irrigation – efficient multi-zone drip systems with smart controller

  • Labor – skilled crew with horticultural and construction knowledge

  • Design & Management – thoughtful, collaborative planning and daily oversight

Every element is chosen for resilience, longevity, and joy—not just function.
