Incremental Garden Planning

A garden is a long-term commitment - a commitment of time and a commitment of money - sometimes lots of money.

Thinking that they cannot afford professional design services, many homeowners take the job on themselves, with little or no experience or familiarity with their choices in plant material. They may forego the planning process altogether and end up plunking in a few plants on the spur of the moment, often with less-than-stunning results.

For others, hectic schedules and uncertainty about what to plant and what to do first, keep them from getting started altogether.

Incremental Garden Planning is designed to take the obstacles and the guesswork out of garden-making by breaking the work into logical increments based on the client’s time and budgetary needs.

Hometown Planning & Design will work with you to create a master plan for your garden, breaking it down into phases that won't break your budget or your back. Not only do you get a coherent, creative design, but you also get step-by-step guidance about how to plant and install your creation.

Owner and principal designer, Joy Abbott, is also available on an hourly basis to do the necessary legwork to ensure that you have all the information and materials in place so that you can start work first thing in the morning instead of using up half your valuable workday running around.
