About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for plants and landscapes in his youth. After honing his knowledge alongside talented architects, Donald decided to put his passion to work. Now, Donald and the rest of our team apply their diverse arrays of knowledge and skills as they strive to create intentional gardens built to delight as they evolve. From sketching out your dream garden on paper to building it on the land, our landscape experts will work alongside qualified construction partners to deliver high-value designs tailored to your vision and space. Our Building & Design ProcessCreative Approach
Creative Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will analyze your site and carefully consider its elements to fashion a truly dynamic garden made to complement your property’s essence and to be admired over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority of our plants come from trusted growers. As a supplement, we propagate less popular varieties on our own at our small plant nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions featuring some novel plants are often most conducive to extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We prioritize creating stunning landscapes which offer suitable spaces for pollinators, allowing you to be a good friend of the planet whilst reveling in well-conceptualized beauty. Green and visually pleasing, our gardens are made to offer the benefits of both worlds.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are planned to grow well by themselves, with little to no supplementing or watering required. However, some adjustments may be needed at various points to maintain design integrity and ensure continual plant well-being. Our in-house staff will be happy to provide support or advice at these periods.What Makes Us Different
Other local design firms may be able to plant gardens which look nice, but we go beyond simple aesthetics. We pull from numerous decades of expertise and vast horticultural education to curate gardens which are well positioned to thrive harmoniously, with little upkeep needed as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with care, paying mind to how they will evolve and accent specific other design features on your property. We believe that communication 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.
