Our philosophy for landscape design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully consider its characteristics to fashion a truly dynamic garden made to underline your property’s essence and to be admired over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
Most of our plants come from trusted growers. To supplement, we propagate less common varieties on our own at our small nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diversified garden compositions featuring some novel additions often promote extended beauty and longevity.Wildlife Friendly

However, some attention may be necessary at various times to maintain design integrity and ensure continual plant well-being.

Our installers orient plants with intention, paying close attention to how they will grow and accent certain other design features on your property. We feel that communication is crucial, and we will work in conjunction with you to fulfill 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.
