What to look for when hiring your Garden Designer

Outdoor privacy matters.

GardenGirl values her privacy, and knows you do too. She’s an expert on “natural privacy,” selecting big, mature trees for instant privacy and has a few tips on how to best deal with the peering eyes of a nosy neighbor or the dog that uses your lawn as his personal bathroom.

Find someone who listens to you.

GardenGirl knows how to strip a garden back to the bare bones and then creates beautiful, serene outdoor spaces. But the one element she doesn’t know (yet) is YOU. So she’ll listen to you, and work with you to get exactly what you want, within your budget.  She's a "straight shooter" who will give you honest feedback.

Ladies… We Get it!!

You’re a mom, wife, errand girl, worker bee, taxi driver, and more. And you want your own space. GardenGirl can help you get it – seating, outdoor lighting, water features, and even a tucked-away “hobby shed”. You’d be surprised at what you can accomplish with GardenGirl at your side.

Let’s address your lifestyle.

Garden Girl takes your lifestyle into account when designing your outdoor space. For example, “hard-to-clean the ice off” walkways look great in the summer, but may not be the best choice for someone who will have a hard time maintaining it during the colder months. Likewise for those who buy plants that turn out to be not-so-good for pets (this happens far too often.)

Tomorrow will come and it matters!

GardenGirl plans for today, and tomorrow as well. Shrubs and trees grow – sometimes too big. That nice looking tree might be a danger in ten or fifteen years. And as adults we all know, a decade goes by in the blink of an eye. Better to have an idea what your yard will look like ten years from now, and plan for it (hint: Garden Girl knows!) This is also great for kid’s play areas – GardenGirl will make sure it’s fun today, yet easily convertible to an “empty nest” adult space in the future.

Someone who knows the business.

GardenGirl is not just a friend to all things natural… she also knows the best nurseries and landscaping professionals. By providing contractors with detailed specifications for your project, you will receive a bid which can result in significant cost savings, clear communication, measurable deliverables. Secondary bids may be provided at an additional fee.
