Our Building & Design ProcessArtful Approach
Artful Approach
Our philosophy for landscape design is at the meetingplace of nature and order. We will evaluate your property and carefully consider its elements to construct a truly compelling garden made to underline your property’s essence and to be admired through the years.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority of our plants come from trusted growers. To supplement, we propagate less popular varieties on our own at our small nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also recognize that diverse garden arrangements composed of some novel additions often promote maximized appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We prioritize creating beautiful landscapes which offer favorable homes for pollinators, allowing you to be a good friend of the environment while enjoying well-conceived beauty. Green and visually stunning, our gardens are designed to provide the benefits of both worlds.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are designed to do well on their own, with little to zero supplementing or watering needed. But, some attention may be necessary at various times to maintain design details and ensure continual plant health. Our in-house staff will be available to offer assistance or insights at these times.What Makes Us Different
Other local design firms may be able to plant gardens which look nice, but we go beyond simple looks. We pull from multiple decades of experience and vast horticultural education to compose gardens that are well positioned to thrive harmoniously, with little upkeep needed as the seasons pass. Our installers orient plants with care, paying mind to how they will evolve and highlight certain other design features on your site. We believe that collaboration is crucial, and we will work closely with you to honor your aspirations for your unique garden.

By seeing the space in person, we can thoroughly envision the potential, pinpointing its inherent strengths and manners in which well-planned landscaping can make it even better.After an open discussion, we will suggest different options. After we have come to a consensus 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 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.
