More About The Process

Let’s Meet!

We will schedule a time to meet in your garden. Plan about an hour for the visit. If you have any property drawings or pictures of swoon-worthy gardens, please share them. During this visit, we can chat about your favorite plants if you like to entertain and ask other questions to help me understand your garden needs. I will be taking some photographs and measurements of the garden, which will help to develop your proposal. 

To expedite the estimating process, I like to ask my landscape contractor to visit the property within a week or two of our initial meeting so he can get me his build/installation estimate.

Design Proposal

Zoe will begin designing your garden once the proposal is agreed upon and signed and an initial deposit is paid.

The design process may include hand or computer drawings and a plant gallery featuring images of the plants we plan to use. If hardscape materials are part of the design, we will bring samples for your approval.

With this design package, you will have gorgeous photographs to help illustrate your new garden. If changes need to be made, we will implement those at this stage.

Once both parties have finalized and agreed upon all design details, we'll schedule a date for the garden installation.

Zoe taps into her nursery resources in the Willamette Valley to meticulously select the best plants for your garden. After procuring the plants, she delivers them and begins crafting your vibrant garden. 

Garden Installation

When we embark on your garden project, our commitment is unwavering—we stay until it's completed. We take pride in our efficiency and professionalism as a team with six years of collaborative experience. 

A well-designed, installed, and maintained landscape will substantially increase the overall value of your home. Equally important, it will improve the quality of your life, oh, and did I mention the fun we will have? It’s truly a blast!

Client Review

“Our experience working with Zoe was seamless. We met on site to discuss our back yard landscape improvement goals and budget, and she quickly responded with her proposal and design direction. Zoe met with and guided the contractor, ordered and delivered the plantings, and performed site observations during construction and planting. She maintained an open line of communication and kept us involved in the decision-making process. Zoe is a talented and knowledgeable landscape designer and is passionate about her profession. We put our full trust in Zoe’s design direction and could not have been happier with the results.” - C.A.
