Our proprietor, Donald Pell, gained a zest for plants and landscapes in his youth. After expanding his abilities with guidance from talented architects, Donald decided to put his passion to work.

Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully take into account its elements to construct a truly immersive garden made to complement your property’s character and to be appreciated over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
Most of our plants come from trusted growers. To supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties on our own at our small nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also observe that diverse garden arrangements featuring some novel plants are often most conducive to extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Friendly
Wildlife Friendly
We prioritize creating beautiful gardens which offer suitable homes for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the planet whilst reveling in well-conceived beauty. Green and visually pleasing, our gardens are designed to offer the best of each world.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are planned to do well on their own, with little to zero mulching or watering needed. However, some attention may be needed at certain points to maintain design integrity and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our in-house team will be available to provide assistance or guidance at these periods.What Makes Us Different
Other local landscape designers may be able to provide gardens that look nice, but we go well past simple aesthetics. We draw on multiple decades of expertise and in-depth horticultural education to curate gardens that are well poised to thrive in harmony, with little maintenance needed as the seasons pass. Our installers place plants with intention, paying mind to how they will grow and accent certain other design features on your site. We feel that collaboration is crucial, and we will work in conjunction with you to fulfill your aspirations for your own individual garden.
Flesh Out Your Garden Design with Our Expert Horticulturalists

By experiencing your space in real life, we can thoroughly envision the possibilities, making note of its inherent advantages and manners in which well-planned landscaping can accentuate it.After an open discussion, we will propose different options. Once we have come to a consensus and construction begins, our skilled team will be on site to ready the space and soil, put in plants & hardscapes and watch over 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.
