Our Building & Design ProcessCreative Approach
Creative Approach
Our approach to landscape design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will analyze your property and carefully consider its elements to construct a truly immersive garden made to underline your property’s character and to be appreciated over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority of our plants are sourced from trusted horticulturalists. As a supplement, we propagate less popular varieties ourselves at our small plant nursery. We emphasize use of native plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diversified garden arrangements composed of some novel plants are often most conducive to extended beauty and longevity.Wildlife Friendly

We aim to create beautiful landscapes which offer favorable homes for pollinators, enabling you to be a good steward of the environment while enjoying well-conceived beauty. Green and visually pleasing, our gardens are designed to offer the best of both worlds.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are designed to grow well on their own, with little to zero mulching or watering required. Still, minor attention may be necessary at various times to preserve design details and ensure ongoing plant health. Our internal staff will be happy to offer support or insights at these times.What Sets Us Apart

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.
