Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our approach to garden design is at the meetingplace of nature and order. We will analyze your property and carefully consider its characteristics to construct a truly dynamic garden made to enhance your property’s character and to be appreciated over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted horticulturalists. To supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties on our own at our small nursery. We emphasize use of native plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions composed of some novel plants often promote maximized beauty and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We aim to create beautiful landscapes which provide favorable spaces for pollinators, enabling you to be a good steward of the environment whilst enjoying well-conceived beauty. Green and visually stunning, our gardens are designed to provide the benefits of each world.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are intended to do well by themselves, with little to no mulching or watering needed. However, minor attention may be necessary at certain times to maintain design integrity and ensure ongoing plant health. Our in-house team will be happy to provide support or guidance at these periods.What Makes Us Different
Other local landscape designers may be able to offer gardens which look nice, but we go well past simple aesthetics. We draw on numerous decades of hands-on work and in-depth horticultural knowledge to compose gardens which are well poised to thrive in harmony, with minimal maintenance needed as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with intention, paying mind to how they will evolve and highlight certain other design centerpieces on your property. 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.
