Services & Rates
DESIGN
$50/hr plus travel and materials
*SPECIAL PACKAGES*
Site Walk and Brief Write-up - $100
This most basic option includes a two hour site visit and some follow-up notes and resources to get you started. No formal plans or concepts, just some big picture ideas and direction.
Site Walk, Basic Assessment, and Drawn Site Schematic - $300
This option includes a more thorough site walk and write up describing both site characteristics and some design concepts, plant lists, and layout schematics to get you started on implementation.
Rates are negotiable based on your particular circumstance. For example, I often agree on a figure per student for workshops. I also consider partial trades and barters. Ithaca Hours accepted up to 50% of total invoice.
Past Examples - Pond Design
After a short site walk and discussion I produced a basic schematic of what a pond could look like. This forms the basis of a more detailed design and implementation.
Past Examples - Home Landscape Deign/Implement
Basic schematic map that we used to develop focus on a particular patch; landscaping around the house
Pictures of garden implementation; veggies and perennial herbs and flowers under sheet mulched soil
