About Us
Our proprietor, Donald Pell, gained a zest for plants and landscapes early in life. After expanding his abilities alongside leading architects, Donald decided to put his enthusiasm to work. Since then, Donald and the rest of our team draw on their diverse sets of knowledge and backgrounds as they work to create well-designed gardens built to spark joy as they grow and change. From sketching out your ideal garden on paper to making it a reality on the land, our horticulture architects will collaborate with qualified construction partners to deliver high-value designs catered to your vision and location. Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the intersection of nature and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully consider its elements to fashion a truly compelling garden made to complement your property’s essence and to be appreciated over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority of our plants come from trusted horticulturalists. To supplement, we propagate less common varieties ourselves at our small nursery. We prioritize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diversified garden arrangements composed of some novel additions often promote extended beauty and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We aim to create beautiful landscapes which provide favorable ecosystems for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the planet whilst enjoying well-conceptualized beauty. Eco-friendly and visually stunning, our gardens are made to offer the best of both worlds.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to do well by themselves, with little to no mulching or watering required. However, minor attention may be needed at various points to preserve design details and ensure continual plant well-being. Our in-house team will be happy to provide assistance or insights at these periods.What Makes Us Different
Other local design firms may be able to plant gardens which look nice, but we go beyond just looks. We pull from multiple decades of experience and vast horticultural knowledge to compose gardens that are well poised to thrive in harmony, with little upkeep required as the seasons change. Our team members orient plants with care, paying close attention to how they will grow and highlight certain other design centerpieces on your site. We feel that collaboration is crucial, and we will work closely with you to fulfill your aspirations for your own individual 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.
