Our Building & Design ProcessArtful Approach
Artful Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the meetingplace of nature and order. We will evaluate your property and carefully consider its characteristics to fashion a truly immersive garden made to complement your property’s character and to be appreciated through the years.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority of our plants come from trusted growers. As a supplement, we propagate less common varieties ourselves at our small nursery. We prioritize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also observe that diversified garden arrangements composed of some novel plants often promote maximized appeal and longevity.Wildlife Friendly

We aim to create stunning landscapes which provide suitable ecosystems for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the planet whilst reveling in well-conceived beauty. Eco-friendly and visually stunning, our gardens are designed to offer the best of both worlds.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are planned to grow well by themselves, with little to no mulching or watering needed. Still, minor attention may be needed at various times to maintain design integrity and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our internal staff will be available to offer assistance or insights at these periods.What Sets Us Apart
Other local landscape designers may be able to give you gardens that look nice, but we go well past simple aesthetics. We draw on multiple decades of hands-on work and vast horticultural knowledge to curate gardens that are well poised to thrive in harmony, with minimal upkeep required as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with intention, giving mind to how they will evolve and highlight specific other design centerpieces on your site. 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.
