About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for landscapes and plants early in life. After honing his knowledge alongside talented architects, Donald was moved to put his enthusiasm to work. Since then, Donald and the rest of our team draw on their diverse arrays of knowledge and expertise as they work to bring to life intentional gardens built to spark joy as they grow and change. From planning out your dream garden on paper to building it on the land, our landscape architects will collaborate with dependable construction partners to deliver award-worthy designs catered to your desires and space. Our Building & Design ProcessCreative Approach
Creative 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 construct a truly immersive garden made to underline your property’s character and to be admired through the years.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
Most of our plants come from trusted horticulturalists. To supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties ourselves at our small plant nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also recognize that diversified garden compositions composed of some novel plants often promote maximized appeal and longevity.Wildlife Friendly

We prioritize creating stunning gardens which provide suitable spaces for pollinators, enabling you to be a good friend of the environment whilst enjoying well-conceptualized beauty. Eco-friendly and visually stunning, our gardens are made to provide the benefits of both worlds.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to do well on their own, with little to no mulching or watering needed. However, minor attention may be necessary at various times to preserve design integrity and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our in-house staff will be happy to provide support or advice at these periods.What Makes Us Different
Other local landscape designers may be able to plant gardens that look pretty, but we go well past simple aesthetics. We draw on multiple decades of hands-on work and vast horticultural knowledge to curate gardens that are well positioned to thrive in harmony, with little upkeep needed as the seasons change. Our team members orient plants with intention, giving close attention to how they will grow and accent specific other design centerpieces on your property. We feel that collaboration is crucial, and we will work closely with you to honor your desires for your own individual garden.
Conceptualize Your Garden Design with Our Trained Horticulturalists
If you are excited to enliven your site 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 property with our group of experienced architects. By seeing your space in person, we can fully envision the possibilities, making note of its inherent strengths and manners in which well-planned landscaping can accentuate it.After a detailed discussion, we will suggest different solutions. After we have come to the final plan and construction begins, our detail-oriented team will be on premises to prepare the area and soil, put in plants and 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.
