CONSULTATIONs FAQ

Have questions about your existing plants, landscape, or garden?

Whether you need help solving a specific garden problem or simply want expert guidance, we’ll match you with the right member of our team for your needs. Consultations are also the first step towards having us design a full landscape plan for you, or a potted plant installations.

Tell us what you need help with, and we’ll pair you with the horticultural or design expert best suited to your project.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

A group of four people, two women and two men, standing outdoors on a cloudy day, engaged in a conversation. One woman is holding a clipboard and smiling, while another woman holds a large sheet of paper. The men are looking at the women, and one of them seems to be explaining something. The background shows trees and a somewhat rural environment.

What to Expect During Your consultation:

Your consultation is an opportunity to walk your property with one of our experts, discuss your goals, and receive thoughtful, site-specific guidance tailored to your space.

A consultation is also the first step in working with us if you’re interested in moving forward with any of our design and installation services, including full landscape design + construction, MeadowMade landscapes, Potted Scapes, or Interior Botanicals. During our visit, we’ll get to know you and your property, better understand the scope and vision for your project, and determine the best path forward.

Depending on your needs, your consultation may include:

  • A comprehensive walkthrough to assess your site, existing conditions, opportunities, and challenges

  • A conversation about your vision, priorities, lifestyle, and overall design preferences

  • Plant recommendations selected specifically for your site’s light, soil, and growing conditions

  • Creative ideas and practical solutions to help you make the most of your outdoor space

  • Expert answers to your questions about plants, garden care, maintenance, and landscape design

  • A brief follow-up summary highlighting key recommendations, plant suggestions, products, and ideas discussed during your visit

Our goal is for you to leave the consultation with clarity, inspiration, and a practical path forward.

Consultation Pricing

Our on-site consultations are $350 and include up to one hour with one of our landscape design or horticultural experts, depending on your needs. You tell us what you want, and you can request a particular horticultural expert or landscape designer depending on your goals.

For properties located more than 15 miles from our Design Studio at 910 N. Lamar Blvd.,an additional travel fee applies. If your property is more than 30 miles away, please select both applicable distance options when booking.

Travel fees are non-refundable and are separate from any future landscape design fees, but your $350 goes to your design fee if you choose for us to design a Master Landscape Plan for your project.

Want a Little More Detail?

If you want just a consultation on either plant health or guidance, for an additional $350, we can expand upon the recommendations from your consultation with a curated plant palette, overall design direction, inspiration images, and basic plant care recommendations—giving you a more detailed roadmap for moving your project forward on your own.

Design Fees

Full Landscape Master Plan design fees typically range from $2,500 to $12,000, with most comprehensive residential projects falling around $7,000. Larger or more complex projects, such as new construction, swimming pools, extensive hardscape, or full-property planning—may require a higher design investment.

Because every property and project is different, we determine the design fee once we understand the full scope of work. With a range of services—from expert consultations and MeadowMade to comprehensive landscape design and construction—we can almost always recommend an approach that aligns with your goals, project needs, and budget.
