Our Building & Design ProcessCreative Approach
Creative Approach
Our approach to landscape design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will analyze your site and carefully consider its elements to construct a truly compelling garden made to underline your property’s essence and to be admired through the years.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous Variety
Most of our plants come from trusted growers. To supplement, we propagate less popular varieties on our own at our small nursery. We prioritize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also observe that diversified garden arrangements featuring some novel plants are often most conducive to maximized beauty and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We prioritize creating beautiful gardens which provide favorable homes for pollinators, allowing you to be a good friend of the environment whilst reveling in well-conceptualized beauty. Green and visually stunning, our gardens are made to offer the best of each world.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to grow well on their own, with little to no mulching or watering required. However, minor adjustments may be needed at various times to preserve design details and ensure continual plant health. Our internal team will be available to offer assistance or guidance at these times.What Makes Us Different
Other local design firms may be able to offer gardens that look pretty, but we go well past simple looks. We draw on multiple decades of expertise and vast horticultural education to curate gardens which are well positioned to thrive in harmony, with minimal maintenance needed as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with intention, giving mind to how they will grow and highlight certain other design centerpieces 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.

By seeing your space in person, we can thoroughly envision the potential, making note of its inherent strengths and manners in which thoughtful landscaping can accentuate it.After an open discussion, we will suggest different solutions. Once we have arrived at the final plan and construction begins, our detail-oriented team will be on site to prepare the space and soil, install plants and hardscapes and oversee the building 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.
