Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the intersection of nature and order. We will evaluate your property and carefully take into account its elements to create a truly dynamic garden made to complement your property’s character and to be admired over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted horticulturalists. As a supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties on our own at our small plant nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also recognize that diversified garden compositions featuring some novel plants are often most conducive to extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Friendly
Wildlife Friendly
We prioritize creating beautiful landscapes which provide favorable spaces for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the environment whilst enjoying well-conceived beauty. Eco-friendly and visually stunning, our gardens are designed to offer the best of both worlds.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are planned to grow well on their own, with little to zero mulching or watering required. Still, some adjustments may be necessary at various times to maintain design integrity and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our in-house team will be available to provide assistance or guidance at these periods.What Makes Us Different
Other local design firms may be able to provide gardens which look pretty, but we go beyond simple aesthetics. We draw on multiple decades of expertise and vast horticultural education to curate gardens that are well positioned to thrive in harmony, with minimal maintenance required as the seasons pass. Our team members place plants with care, paying close attention to how they will grow and highlight specific other design features on your property. We feel that collaboration is crucial, and we will work closely with you to honor your aspirations for your unique garden.

I saw Donald Pell's signage on my way to work. It was the best phone call I ever made. Donald and his entire team are professional, thorough, and do an excellent job. Once the job is completed they continue to monitor the job. It's nice to see a company that takes pride in their work. The photos I have attached are plantings that are only 5 months young. I would highly recommend this company.

I was on the phone with Jenna their landscape architect and I thought she's awesome. I would hire them sight unseen! She was so wonderful listening and providing me with her professional insights about my plans that I only wish I could hire them except my property is too small. This company really cares about their clients and even prospective clients! That's RARE to find and a solid winner for me.

Don Pell and his team were fantastic. They apprised of us what to expect for our project from time frame to cost to detailed plans. The team was excellent answering questions and giving us maintenance ideas. Included was a detailed "blueprint" with names of plantings.The group did four meadows for us and all are thriving 1-3 years after planting.Don Pell was available by phone whenever necessary. We highly recommend the Don Pell team and if we had any more areas to plant, would hire them again!

We engaged Don Pell Gardens six months before our new house was finished with the goals of creating a landscape design that anchored our new home to the rural/mountain environment, stabilized steep terrain and managed water run off from the large roof area. Don's was attentive to our needs and concerns to ensure they were reflected in his proposal. The design and implementation exceeded our expectations. In addition to accomplishing the stated goals we have beautiful gardens that we will enjoy for many years to come. Don's team were very focused, professional, courteous and worked seamlessly with our builders as they completed the house. Even our builders were complimentary! We have no hesitation in recommending Don Pell Gardens. In fact we intend on having him back in the future.
