About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for landscapes and plants early in life. After expanding his knowledge alongside leading architects, Donald was moved to put his enthusiasm into practice. Now, Donald and our other team members apply their diverse arrays of knowledge and backgrounds as they strive to bring to life intentional gardens built to delight as they evolve. From sketching out your dream garden on paper to building it at your site, our landscape experts will work alongside qualified construction partners to deliver high-value designs catered to your desires and location. 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 characteristics to fashion a truly compelling garden made to complement your property’s essence and to be admired over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority of our plants come from trusted growers. As a supplement, we propagate less common varieties ourselves at our small nursery. We emphasize use of native plants whenever possible, but we also recognize that diverse garden compositions composed of some novel additions are often most conducive to maximized appeal and longevity.Wildlife Friendly
Wildlife Friendly
We aim to create stunning gardens which provide favorable homes for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the environment while enjoying well-conceptualized beauty. Eco-friendly and visually stunning, our gardens are made to provide the best of each world.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to do well on their own, with little to zero mulching or watering required. However, minor attention may be necessary at certain points to preserve design integrity and ensure ongoing plant health. Our in-house team will be happy to offer support or guidance at these periods.What Makes Us Different
Other local landscape designers may be able to plant gardens which look nice, but we go well past simple aesthetics. We draw on multiple decades of experience and in-depth horticultural knowledge to compose gardens that are well poised to thrive harmoniously, with little maintenance required as the seasons change. Our installers orient plants with care, paying mind to how they will grow and accent certain other design centerpieces on your site. We believe that communication is vital, and we will work closely with you to fulfill your aspirations for your unique garden.
Conceptualize Your Garden Design with Our Expert Horticulturalists
If you are excited to give a lift to your yard with gorgeous, strategically located plants that frame your home and grow each year to rejuvenate you all over, the first step is to request a consultation at your site with our group of expert designers. By seeing the space in real life, we can thoroughly envision the possibilities, pinpointing its inherent advantages and ways in which thoughtful landscaping can accentuate it.After a detailed discussion, we will propose various options. After we have arrived at a consensus and construction starts, our skilled team will be on site to prepare 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.
