Our Building & Design ProcessArtful Approach
Artful Approach
Our approach to garden design is at the meetingplace of nature and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully consider its elements to construct a truly immersive garden made to complement your property’s essence and to be appreciated through the years.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous Variety
Most of our plants come from trusted growers. To supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties ourselves at our small plant nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diverse garden arrangements composed of some novel additions are often most conducive to maximized beauty and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We aim to create stunning gardens which offer favorable homes for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the planet whilst enjoying well-conceptualized beauty. Eco-friendly and visually pleasing, our gardens are designed to provide the best of both worlds.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are intended to do well on their own, with little to zero supplementing or watering required. Still, some attention may be needed at certain points to maintain design integrity and ensure continual plant health. Our in-house team will be available to provide assistance 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 just looks. We pull from multiple decades of hands-on work and in-depth horticultural education to compose gardens that are well positioned to thrive in harmony, with minimal upkeep needed as the seasons change. Our installers orient plants with intention, paying mind to how they will evolve and accent certain other design features on your site. We believe that communication is crucial, and we will work closely with you to honor your aspirations for your unique garden.

By seeing the space in real life, we can fully envision the potential, making note of its inherent advantages and manners in which thoughtful landscaping can accentuate it.After a detailed discussion, we will propose various options.

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.
