Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for landscapes and plants in his youth. After expanding his knowledge alongside talented architects, Donald was moved to put his passion into practice. Since then, Donald and the rest of our team apply their diverse arrays of knowledge and skills as they strive to create intentional gardens built to spark joy as they grow and change. From drawing out your dream garden on paper to building it at your site, our landscape experts will collaborate with dependable building partners to deliver award-worthy designs tailored to your vision and space. Our Building & Design ProcessCreative Approach
Creative Approach
Our approach to landscape design is at the meetingplace of wildness and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully take into account its elements to create a truly immersive garden made to enhance your property’s essence and to be appreciated through the years.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority of our plants are sourced from trusted growers. To supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties ourselves at our small nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also observe that diverse garden arrangements featuring some novel plants often promote extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We prioritize creating stunning gardens which offer favorable ecosystems for pollinators, enabling you to be a good friend of the planet while enjoying well-conceived beauty. Eco-friendly and visually pleasing, our gardens are designed to offer the benefits of each world.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are planned to do well by themselves, with little to zero supplementing or watering needed. But, some attention may be needed at certain points to preserve design integrity and ensure ongoing plant health. Our in-house staff will be available to offer support or guidance at these times.What Sets Us Apart
Other local landscape designers may be able to offer gardens that look nice, but we go well past just aesthetics. We pull from multiple decades of expertise and in-depth horticultural education to curate gardens which are well poised to thrive harmoniously, with little maintenance required as the seasons pass. Our team members orient plants with care, giving mind to how they will evolve and highlight certain other design centerpieces on your property. We feel that collaboration is crucial, and we will work in conjunction 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.
