Two hour On-Site Consultation

When planning an edible landscape project, the first step is a personalized on-site consultation. This is our initial "meeting of the minds" to develop your project's foundation. During our meeting we'll cover a range of topics: Site & soil assessment Fruit tree selection, placement, & bed planning Perennial vegetables & herbs Native plants, service species & support plants Soil health improvement Companion planting Pest management Mulching, pruning, irrigation, and maintenance expectations. During an on-site consultation, we conduct an in-depth discovery of your goals and the steps to achieve them. We provide professional insight, guidance, and practical advice derived from years of experience designing edible landscapes, while keeping your individual preferences top of mind. During the consultation we identify all factors related to the installation process, take measurements, and discuss layouts to create a foundational project plan. Once we establish this foundation, our office team can generate an itemized proposal with a written project plan. (Usually deliverable within 1 week of our meeting). We consider any specific tree or cultivar requests, and create a detailed species list for your project. If substitutions are necessary, we'll consult with you first. Additional site services are sometimes required, such as: Grade adjustments/drainage work Existing vegetation, sod, & tree removal Irrigation installation or retrofitting Our experienced team can provide these services in-house — no subcontracting. We'll include a detailed description of work with your proposal. When you're ready to book and start your project, you can reserve your spot with a 50% deposit. Once we receive your deposit payment, we'll schedule your project for the next available spot on our calendar. Your plants will be reserved, and we'll prepare to mobilize our install team. Once we're on site and have begun an install, our undivided efforts remain on your project until it is complete. We'll provide a project timeline so you know what to expect and how long it'll take. Before your consultation date, consider a few things beforehand so we can be most impactful with our time: 1. Your wish list of fruit trees & plants you’re most interested in growing. Browse our inventory link for ideas! 2. Locations on the property where you might wonder, "What can I grow here?" — We'll find the right plant! 3. Your budget range for your desired project. Budget doesn't need to be exact, a ballpark is fine. 4. Questions related to soil, plants, pests, and maintenance that you'd like an in-depth answer to.
