"We couldn't afford the whole plan, and they didn't flinch — phase one this year, phase two next spring. Three years later the yard looks like it was always one project. Because it was."
Three-phase project · completed 2025Most complete transformations run $25,000–$80,000 — which is exactly why we phase. The $950 plan prices each phase separately so you can build the bones now and add the fire pit when the budget's ready. No phase strands the next one.
Natives are the plants that evolved for this soil and rainfall — which means less watering, less replacement, and more birds. We're not purists; we're pragmatists who like plants that don't die. The 1-year guarantee is easy to offer when you plant what belongs.
No — the plan is yours, dimensioned and plant-listed, buildable by any competent contractor. About 80% of plan clients build with us; the fee credits toward phase one when they do.
Design in any season; hardscape builds run spring–fall; planting lands best in spring and early fall. Winter design clients get first pick of spring build slots — the calendar rewards the patient.
