About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for plants and landscapes early in life. After honing his abilities with guidance from leading architects, Donald was moved to put his passion to work. Since then, Donald and our other team members draw on their diverse sets of knowledge and skills as they strive to create well-designed gardens built to delight as they evolve. From planning out your dream garden on paper to building it on the land, our landscape architects will work alongside dependable building partners to deliver high-value designs tailored to your vision and space. Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our philosophy for landscape design is at the intersection of nature and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully take into account its elements to fashion a truly immersive garden made to underline your property’s character and to be admired through the years.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted growers. To supplement, we cultivate less common varieties on our own at our small plant nursery. We emphasize use of native plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions featuring some novel additions are often most conducive to maximized beauty and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We prioritize creating stunning landscapes which offer favorable spaces for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the environment whilst enjoying well-conceived beauty. Eco-friendly and visually stunning, our gardens are designed to offer the best of each world.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to do well on their own, with little to no supplementing or watering required. However, some attention may be necessary at various points to maintain design integrity and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our internal team will be available to offer assistance or advice at these times.What Sets Us Apart
Other local landscape designers may be able to offer gardens which look nice, but we go well past simple looks. We pull from multiple decades of hands-on work and in-depth horticultural education to compose gardens which are well positioned to thrive in harmony, with minimal maintenance required as the seasons pass. Our team members orient plants with intention, paying close attention to how they will grow and accent certain other design centerpieces on your site. We feel that collaboration is crucial, and we will work closely with you to fulfill 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.
