Gardens of Delight Services

• LANDSCAPE AND GARDEN DESIGNS that discover and celebrate the unique features of your home. We meet your goals for function, beauty, cost-effectiveness and ecological considerations, in your style and spirit. Our designs reflect goals as diverse as the people who live there. We specialize in both informal or "slow" landscape designs as well as more traditional grading, drainage, planting and construction drawings that can be used with any contractor, including us of course.

• INSTALLATIONS that are phased in over time at YOUR pace and are insured and guaranteed.

• MAINTENANCE and fine gardening care. We take an organic approach to pest and disease problems. We'll help you identify and manage weeds and remediate soils of mild contamination from lead, other heavy metals or organic pollutants.

• CONSULTATIONS and WORKSHOPS to help you plan, budget and care for your landscape with confidence. Plant lists for that challenging site, customized maintenance calendars, time and cost maintenance estimates and suggesting safe products for land care are just a few of the personalized services we offer.

Make an impact beyond your garden boundaries with small changes close to home. We specialize in "slow landscaping," in other words, you don't have to do it all at once. We'll be there just when you need a little extra help. There are alternatives beyond a beautifully rendered master plan that just stays in a roll and is too expensive to be implemented. Keep pace with your new ideas and your budget with a flexible process over time.
