Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the meetingplace of nature and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully consider its elements to construct a truly compelling garden made to enhance your property’s character and to be admired through the years.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous Variety
The majority of our plants are sourced from trusted horticulturalists. To supplement, we propagate less popular varieties on our own at our small plant nursery. We prioritize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions composed of some novel plants are often most conducive to maximized beauty and longevity.Wildlife Friendly
Wildlife Friendly
We aim to create stunning gardens which offer favorable homes for pollinators, allowing you to be a good steward of the environment whilst enjoying well-conceived beauty. Green and visually stunning, our gardens are designed to offer the benefits of both worlds.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are designed to grow well on their own, with little to zero mulching or watering required. However, some attention may be necessary at various points to maintain design integrity and ensure ongoing plant health. Our internal team will be available to provide support or insights at these times.What Sets Us Apart
Other local design firms may be able to plant gardens that look pretty, but we go beyond just aesthetics. We pull from multiple decades of hands-on work and vast horticultural knowledge to curate gardens which are well positioned to thrive harmoniously, with minimal maintenance required as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with care, paying mind to how they will grow and accent specific other design features on your site. We feel that collaboration is crucial, and we will work in conjunction with you to honor your desires for your own individual garden.

By seeing your space in real life, we can thoroughly envision the potential, making note of its inherent strengths and ways in which well-planned landscaping can accentuate it.After an open discussion, we will suggest various options. After we have come to the final plan and construction starts, our skilled team will be on site to ready the area and soil, put in plants & hardscapes and oversee the building 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.
