Our Building & Design ProcessArtful Approach
Artful Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the meetingplace of wildness and order. We will analyze your property and carefully take into account its elements to create a truly immersive garden made to enhance your property’s character and to be appreciated through the years.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted horticulturalists. To supplement, we propagate less popular varieties ourselves at our small nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions featuring some novel additions are often most conducive to maximized beauty and longevity.Wildlife Friendly
Wildlife Friendly
We prioritize creating stunning landscapes which offer favorable homes for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the planet while enjoying well-conceived beauty. Green and visually stunning, our gardens are designed to provide the benefits of both worlds.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are designed to do well by themselves, with little to zero mulching or watering needed. However, minor adjustments may be necessary at various times to maintain design integrity and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our in-house team will be happy to offer assistance or advice at these times.What Sets Us Apart
Other local landscape designers may be able to plant gardens which look nice, but we go well past simple aesthetics. We pull from numerous decades of hands-on work and in-depth horticultural education to curate gardens that are well positioned to thrive harmoniously, with little upkeep needed as the seasons pass. Our team members place plants with care, paying mind to how they will evolve and highlight certain other design centerpieces on your site. We believe that collaboration is crucial, and we will work in conjunction with you to fulfill your desires for your unique garden.
Conceptualize Your Garden Design with Our Expert Horticulturalists
If you are excited to enliven your landscape with gorgeous, strategically placed plants that frame your home and grow each year to inspire you anew, the initial step is to request a consultation at your site with our group of experienced architects. By experiencing your space in real life, we can thoroughly envision the potential, making note of its inherent advantages and ways in which thoughtful landscaping can make it even better.After a detailed discussion, we will suggest different options. Once we have arrived at the final plan and construction starts, our detail-oriented team will be on site to prepare the space and soil, install plants and hardscapes and watch over 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.
