Our Building & Design ProcessCreative Approach
Creative Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the meetingplace of nature and order. We will evaluate your property and carefully take into account its characteristics to construct a truly compelling garden made to enhance your property’s essence and to be appreciated through the years.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
Most of our plants are sourced from trusted growers. To supplement, we propagate less popular varieties ourselves at our small plant nursery. We prioritize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also recognize that diversified garden compositions composed of some novel additions often promote extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Friendly
Wildlife Friendly
We aim to create beautiful gardens which provide suitable homes for pollinators, allowing you to be a good friend of the planet while enjoying well-conceived beauty. Eco-friendly and visually stunning, our gardens are made to offer the best of each world.Minimal Maintenance
Minimal Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to grow well on their own, with little to zero mulching or watering required. But, some attention may be necessary at various times to maintain design integrity and ensure ongoing plant health. Our in-house team will be available to offer support or insights at these periods.What Makes Us Different
Other local landscape designers may be able to give you gardens which look nice, but we go well past simple looks. We draw on multiple decades of experience and in-depth horticultural knowledge to curate gardens that are well positioned to thrive harmoniously, with little 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 site. We believe that communication is crucial, and we will work closely with you to fulfill your desires for your own individual garden.

By seeing the space in real life, we can fully envision the potential, pinpointing its inherent advantages and ways in which well-planned landscaping can make it even better.After an open discussion, we will suggest various options. After we have arrived at the final plan and construction starts, our skilled team will be on site to prepare the area and soil, install plants & 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.
