Are you considering changing the look of your yard but are unsure where to start?
A consultation can aid you in creating a compelling vision for your yard, acreage, or small farm and can give you with useful tools to help you bring about the improvements you wish to see. Before our session, we will ask you to state the key goals you have for the consultation.

• Site assessments and observations
• Soil observations and soil improvement strategies
• Existing plant identification
• Conversions of lawn or weedy areas to productive plantings
