Marvelous Variety
The majority of our plants are sourced from trusted growers. As a supplement, we cultivate less common varieties ourselves 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 appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are designed to do well by themselves, with little to no mulching or watering needed. However, minor attention may be needed at certain times to preserve design integrity and ensure continual plant well-being. Our internal staff will be available to provide assistance or guidance at these times.What Sets Us Apart

We pull from multiple decades of expertise and vast horticultural education to compose gardens that are well positioned to thrive harmoniously, with minimal upkeep required as the seasons pass. Our installers orient plants with care, paying mind to how they will evolve and highlight certain other design features on your site. We feel that communication is vital, 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.
