About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for landscapes and plants early in life. After expanding his abilities alongside talented architects, Donald decided to put his passion into practice. Since then, Donald and our other team members draw on their diverse arrays of knowledge and skills as they strive to bring to life intentional gardens built to spark joy as they grow and change. From planning out your dream garden on paper to making it a reality on the land, our horticulture experts will work alongside qualified construction partners to deliver high-value designs catered to your vision and space. Our Building & Design ProcessArtful Approach
Artful Approach
Our approach to garden design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully consider its characteristics to create a truly dynamic garden made to complement your property’s essence and to be admired through the years.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted growers. To supplement, we propagate less common varieties on our own at our small nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions composed of some novel additions often promote extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We prioritize creating stunning landscapes which provide suitable homes for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the planet whilst enjoying well-conceptualized beauty. Green and visually stunning, our gardens are designed to offer the benefits of each world.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to do well on their own, with little to zero supplementing or watering needed. However, minor attention may be necessary at various times to maintain design details and ensure ongoing plant health. Our internal staff will be happy to provide support or insights at these times.What Sets Us Apart
Other local design firms may be able to provide gardens which look nice, but we go beyond simple looks. We pull from numerous decades of hands-on work and in-depth horticultural knowledge to compose gardens that are well positioned to thrive in harmony, with minimal upkeep required as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with care, paying close attention to how they will evolve and accent specific other design centerpieces on your property. We believe that collaboration is vital, and we will work in conjunction with you to fulfill your desires for your own individual garden.
Conceptualize Your Garden Design with Our Trained Horticulturalists
If you’re excited to enliven your site with eye-catching, strategically placed plants that frame your home and grow each year to inspire you anew, the first step is to schedule a meeting at your property with our group of experienced designers. By seeing your space in real life, we can fully envision the potential, making note of its inherent strengths and ways in which well-planned landscaping can make it even better.After a detailed discussion, we will suggest different options. After we have arrived at the final plan and construction starts, our detail-oriented team will be on premises to prepare the area 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.
