Landscape Coaching & Design in Scarborough & Portland, ME

This option is a great choice when you need someone to come to your house and take a look at your unique situation. Our nursery manager and landscape designer are happy to answer any questions you have from lawn rebuilding to plant identification and care. In this 1-hour session we can set up a plan for you to tackle your space and turn it in to the envy of the neighborhood.

We recommend you are ready with some paper and a pen. This is a great time to take notes on everything we talk about and make sure we cover all of your needs.

Topics we cover are, but certainly not limited to:

• Plant Identification
• Plant Care
• Pruning Questions
• Lawn Rebuilding and Care
• New Garden Bed Construction
• Design Ideas
• Pest Issues
• Making Better Use of the Space
• ... and so much more.

Need a little more detail? With our design service you will end up with a hand drawn scale plan of your new garden space.

First we will set up a time to come to your house and discuss what you are looking to achieve and make sure we have a sense of the style you are looking for. Then we will take measurements and the magic begins.

Once we come back to the farm we will sit down and get to work creating a garden space that is just right for you. We design each space as if it were our own and take great consideration in to the plants we choose for your garden. We make a scaled plan based on the full grown size of the plants so as to avoid that classic 'giant rhododendron eating your house' look. This way minimizes the maintenance needed to keep the garden looking great and also allows proper spacing for the plants to grow healthy and strong.

When the design is complete, we invite you back to the farm for the presentation of your new garden plan and to show you around to the plants we have suggested. Circles on paper are great for planning but not nearly as inspiring as seeing the real thing. Once you see all the plants in your plan and you approve of the design we will finalize it and it is yours to build from.

The most complete, hands-off option available.

Once we have completed the design stage of the process you have the option to have us install it. We will prepare the beds, bring in all the materials needed, complete the planting and finish the mulching. You get to come home to a gorgeous new space to just water and enjoy.

We take great pride in our work and truly enjoy seeing our designs come to life. All plants and labor is guaranteed for one year with this service.
