About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for landscapes and plants in his youth. After honing his knowledge alongside talented architects, Donald decided to put his passion into practice. Since then, Donald and the rest of our team apply their diverse arrays of knowledge and expertise as they strive to bring to life intentional gardens built to delight as they evolve. From planning out your ideal garden on paper to building it on the land, our horticulture experts will collaborate with dependable construction partners to deliver high-value designs tailored to your desires and location. Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our philosophy for landscape design is at the meetingplace of nature and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully consider its elements to create a truly compelling garden made to underline your property’s character and to be admired over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted growers. To supplement, we cultivate less common varieties on our own at our small nursery. We emphasize use of native plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions composed of some novel additions are often most conducive to extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Friendly
Wildlife Friendly
We prioritize creating beautiful gardens which provide suitable ecosystems for pollinators, allowing you to be a good friend of the environment whilst reveling in well-conceptualized beauty. Green and visually pleasing, our gardens are designed to offer the best of both worlds.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are designed to grow well by themselves, with little to no mulching or watering required. But, some adjustments may be needed at various points to maintain design details and ensure ongoing plant health. Our in-house staff will be happy to provide support or advice at these times.What Makes Us Different
Other local landscape designers may be able to offer gardens that look nice, but we go well past simple looks. We pull from numerous decades of hands-on work and vast horticultural education to compose gardens which are well poised to thrive harmoniously, with minimal upkeep needed as the seasons pass. Our installers place plants with intention, giving mind to how they will grow and highlight specific other design centerpieces on your site. We feel that collaboration is vital, and we will work closely with you to fulfill your aspirations for your own individual garden.
Flesh Out Your Garden Design with Our Expert Horticulturalists
If you are excited to enliven your yard with eye-catching, strategically placed plants that anchor your home and grow each year to inspire you anew, the first step is to schedule a meeting at your property with our team of experienced designers. By seeing your space in person, we can thoroughly envision the possibilities, making note of its inherent strengths and manners in which thoughtful landscaping can make it even better.After an open discussion, we will propose various solutions. Once we have arrived at a consensus and construction begins, our detail-oriented team will be on site to ready the space and soil, put in plants and hardscapes and oversee the entire process.

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.
