General Consultations
Do you want to make changes in your yard? We can help you get started. We offer one-hour consultations, either in person (onsite) or online through Zoom. One of our designers will tour your property with you, answering questions and brainstorming ideas. A virtual consultation uses mapping technology, photos that you share and online drawing tools help us to envision the changes you’d like.
Our staff is highly experienced in sustainable practices that will help make your yard more resilient. Among other things, our landscape designers are experts in native plants, turf alternatives, pollinator habitat and clean-water projects including raingardens, permeable pavement and runoff conveyance. And we can focus on something more specific in your yard, such as creating a bee lawn or putting in a pollinator patch. When you schedule your consultation, let us know in the notes if you’re interested in these options.

Bee lawns add beauty and color, provide food for our pollinators (including Minnesota’s state bee, the rusty patched bumble bee!), and can withstand the same recreational activities as a traditional lawn. They also require less watering, mowing, and fertilizer. Our bee lawn expert, an entomologist, can help you plan.
