I offer different packages to accommodate the needs of different clients. I offer a 1-hour design consultation that can be done in person or remotely. If you provide me with photos of your space prior to the meeting, I can typically come with a few ideas to begin the discussion. I’ll take time to discuss how you intend to use your space, goals, budget and timeline. Find details and book a Design Consultation here.

Depending on your needs, I can go a step further in the process and provide you with a list of items for purchase with price estimates. Then, you can decide to purchase the items on their own or I can purchase them for you. An upfront deposit for the items is required if I do the purchasing.

I’ll help you put everything together at your location.

“I don’t have time to shop around and find the best options for my backyard.”

You can be involved as much or as little as you want. During our initial conversations, I take time to understand your goals, style and timeline. Consider me your personal shopper. I do all the grunt work of finding the right pieces and you can sit back and watch it all come together!

“I want something very low maintenance and don’t want to worry about taking things down or cleaning it.”

Fortunately, there are tons of options for low maintenance furniture, cushions and fabrics. I can help you pick the perfect pieces to match your goals.

“I would love to update my outdoor space, but I don’t have the money right now.”

I work with clients on all budgets. I’m not opposed to thrifty shopping and can get very creative with limited budgets. I can guide you in developing a plan in stages that works within your budget.

Often a few small changes and updates can get you outside and using your space. I always encourage clients to use what you have first, spend time in your space so you can really get a feel for how you want to use it.

My goal is to get you outside and enjoying your outdoor space. My hourly rate is $95/hr. Depending on your goals and the project size, it could take as little as three to four hours to put together an outdoor space for you to start enjoying.

I work with you throughout the process to ensure we’re on the same page. I use lots of visuals to make sure you’re comfortable with our choices. If for any reason you just can’t live with a piece, I’ll work with you to return it and find the perfect item to fit your space.

Yes! I work with a group of carefully selected landscapers, landscape designers, shade providers and more. Chances are I can help refer the perfect service provider to you who can help get your project started. Check out my Resources page.
