Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for landscapes and plants early in life.

From planning out your ideal garden on paper to making it a reality at your site, our landscape experts will collaborate with dependable building partners to deliver high-value designs tailored to your vision and space.

Our philosophy for garden design is at the meetingplace of wildness and order. We will analyze your site and carefully consider its characteristics to fashion a truly compelling garden made to enhance your property’s character and to be admired through the years.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted growers. To supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties ourselves at our small plant nursery. We prioritize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also recognize that diverse garden compositions composed of some novel plants are often most conducive to extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Friendly

We aim to create stunning gardens which provide suitable homes for pollinators, enabling you to be a good steward of the environment whilst reveling in well-conceived beauty. Green and visually pleasing, our gardens are designed to provide the best of both worlds.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are planned to do well on their own, with little to no supplementing or watering needed. But, some adjustments may be needed at various times to preserve design integrity and ensure continual plant well-being. Our in-house staff will be happy to offer assistance or advice at these periods.What Makes Us Different
Other local design firms may be able to give you gardens that look pretty, but we go well past simple looks. We pull from numerous decades of experience and vast horticultural knowledge to compose gardens which are well poised to thrive in harmony, with little upkeep needed as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with care, paying close attention to how they will evolve and accent specific other design features on your site. We believe that collaboration is crucial, and we will work closely with you to honor your desires 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.
