Ecological Landscape Design Services
Native-first & edible landscapes in a refined naturalistic style
We believe your landscape beds can be beautiful and provide essential ecosystem function. We’ll optimize selection and placement for your site and soil type, ensuring blooms across as much of the growing season as possible to service our insect friends.
We can even help you incorporate perennial fruits and herbs too! Imagine a self-pollinating Sun Gold Nectarine tree, giving you a mid-summer harvest of juicy fruits where a traditional designer might place a Japanese Maple which would serve virtually no ecosystem value. Birds can’t eat it’s fruits, bees can’t take its pollen back to their hives. Imagine strawberries and herbs as ground cover instead of boring Ajuga or Creeping Jenny.

With optional artist renderings of your design, you can view your new space come to life before you take the next step. These, like all of our designs, will be made to-scale and custom overlayed on images from your property.

$75 (Harnett & Johnston Counties) or $100 (neighboring counties)
This is where all engagements begin. We’ll take detailed measurements of your property, take soil samples, assess how water moves on your property, and use all of that information to inform your custom design. You benefit because we choose plants that will thrive in your conditions with minimal babying from you, and Mother Nature benefits because we’ll maximize your positive impact to the ecosystem using this information.

$250 base fee + $1.50/sq ft over 150 sq ft
A complete, to-scale native-first (and optionally edible) landscape bed design tailored to your site, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance comfort level. Rooted in a "refined naturalistic" philosophy, always ecologically sound, visually intentional, and designed to evolve beautifully over time.

To-scale landscape bed layout plan, delivered digitally

Pricing example: A 300 sq ft bed = $250 base + $225 (150 sq ft × $1.50) = $475 total

$250 per vantage point (think about this like one click of the camera)
Want to be able to visualize your space? This option is perfect for you. I take a photo of your space and personally hand draw your completed design over the top of it. Included in this price is a separate drawing for each month of the growing season so you can get an idea of how your space will look over the months. Examples of this service are included below if you’re interested.

$150 (flat rate; subject to revision after additional HOA experience)
Many HOAs are unfamiliar with native plant design and can be initially resistant, particularly when the words "naturalistic" or "wildflower" come up. This service prepares you for a successful HOA submission by presenting your design in the language boards respond to best: organized, professional, and visually reassuring.
What's included:
Written project description framed for an HOA audience
Realistic AI-generated visualization of the finished design in your space
Plant list with mature heights, spread, and bloom colors
Brief narrative on maintenance plan and neighborhood aesthetic compatibility

Fees vary by project size, location, and selected installer.
I work directly with your chosen installer to ensure that install timing and bed preparation are done properly to maximize your planting’s success. I will be present on-site during the install to ensure the plant map is followed and my planting guidance is applied correctly to avoid common mistakes that slow or inhibit the ability for your plants to thrive.
The crew still schedules and bills directly with you, this service covers my coordination time and on-site presence only.
For select projects, I can hold plant material in my protected and irrigated area until install date.
Fees very by project size, location, and selected installer. Rates are cheaper if you select our own install partners because I have already trained them on proper planting techniques and are used to reading plant maps.
