Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our approach to garden design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will analyze your property and carefully consider its characteristics to fashion a truly compelling garden made to complement your property’s essence and to be appreciated through the years.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted horticulturalists. As a supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties ourselves at our small plant nursery. We prioritize use of native plants as often as possible, but we also recognize that diversified garden arrangements featuring some novel plants often promote extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We aim to create beautiful landscapes which offer suitable ecosystems for pollinators, allowing you to be a good friend of the environment while enjoying well-conceived beauty. Eco-friendly and visually stunning, our gardens are made to offer the best of both worlds.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are intended to grow well on their own, with little to no mulching or watering required. However, some adjustments may be necessary at various points to maintain design integrity and ensure continual plant health. Our in-house team will be available to provide support or insights at these times.What Sets Us Apart
Other local design firms may be able to offer gardens which look pretty, but we go well past simple looks. We draw on multiple decades of hands-on work and in-depth horticultural education to curate gardens that are well poised to thrive in harmony, with minimal maintenance needed as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with care, paying close attention to how they will grow and highlight specific other design features on your property. We feel that collaboration is vital, and we will work closely with you to honor your desires for your unique garden.

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.
