About Us
Our proprietor, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for plants and landscapes early in life. After expanding his knowledge with guidance from leading architects, Donald was moved to put his enthusiasm to work. Today, Donald and the rest of our team draw on their diverse arrays of knowledge and backgrounds as they work to bring to life intentional gardens built to spark joy as they grow and change. From planning out your ideal garden on paper to building it at your site, our horticulture architects will collaborate with dependable building partners to deliver award-worthy designs tailored to your vision and location. Our Building & Design ProcessArtful Approach
Artful Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully consider its elements to create a truly compelling garden made to underline your property’s essence and to be admired over time.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous 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 prioritize use of native plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diversified garden arrangements featuring some novel plants are often most conducive to extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We aim to create beautiful landscapes which offer favorable homes for pollinators, enabling you to be a good friend of the planet while enjoying well-conceptualized beauty. Green and visually pleasing, our gardens are made to offer the benefits of both worlds.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to grow well by themselves, with little to no mulching or watering required. Still, minor adjustments may be necessary at various times to preserve design integrity and ensure continual plant well-being. Our in-house staff will be happy to provide support or guidance at these periods.What Sets Us Apart
Other local design firms may be able to plant gardens which look pretty, but we go well past simple aesthetics. We pull from numerous decades of hands-on work and vast horticultural education to compose gardens that are well positioned to thrive harmoniously, with little maintenance required as the seasons change. Our installers orient plants with intention, paying close attention to how they will evolve and accent specific other design features on your property. We feel that collaboration is vital, and we will work closely with you to fulfill your desires for your unique garden.

If you are excited to enliven your yard with eye-catching, strategically located plants that frame your home and grow each year to inspire you all over, the initial step is to request a meeting at your site with our team of experienced designers. By experiencing your space in person, we can fully envision the possibilities, pinpointing its inherent advantages and ways in which well-planned landscaping can accentuate it.After an open discussion, we will propose different options. Once we have come to the final plan and construction starts, our detail-oriented team will be on site to ready the area and soil, put in plants and hardscapes and oversee 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.
