This is a general labor cost and does not include the cost of plants.  Shrub Appeal can supply plants or install plants provided by the client.  

This category of service describes building out new landscaping beds or demolishing and re-planting ~5+ plants.  

Shrub Appeal's new installs consistently range between $ 5 - 15 per square foot.  You would find yourself on the lower end ($ 5-10 / sqft) if you want to install all baby plants or already have garden beds built out.  You might find yourself on the higher end ($ 10-15 / sqft) if you opt for specialty plants, boulders, or higher-end edging details.  

If this ballpark estimate agrees with your budget, then you are ready to proceed to the New Install Consultation (below).  

A detailed cost report is provided after the onsite consultation as accurate quoting requires measurements and details from the client.  Quotes come with photo-edited pictures showing the final design.  

Landscapes thrive when you have the right plant in the right place.  Site assessments allow us to determine the specific and unique conditions of each planting location so we pick the right plants for you.  The assessment fee covers the time we put into designing your gardens, generating a photo-rendering of what your gardens will look like, and a detailed cost report pricing your project down to the nickle.  This type of assessment is necessary for large installs or renovations. 

During the Site Assessment we may:

• Measure light conditions (angle of sun, how the light changes through out the day)

• Measure landscape size and spacing

• Identify water sources

• Examine soil condition and structure (possibly take a soil sample for lab analysis depending on site history)

• Record information on existing plantings 

• Take site pictures

• Administer the client questionnaire

• Answer questions and provide as much valuable content as possible

The Client Questionnaire will cover:

• Style preferences (formal vs informal, color palette, cottage vs traditional vs modern)

• Budget considerations

• Whether the client wants to visually screen certain areas (ex. block the view of a neighboring parking lot or noisy street)

• Whether the client wants something low maintenance

• How the client uses the outside space

• Who sees the garden (executives, customers, passers by)

• Client goals

The full design package is ideal for a DIYer who wants to tackle install themselves, a virtual consult client, or someone who wants more detail about their garden than a typical installer would provide.  The first step to a custom design plan is the On-Site Consultation, described above.  Once the consultation is complete we can move forward with the full design package.  

The standard design package includes:

• Photo-edited renderings of your proposed design

• Plant information notes so you can learn more about your plants and why they are perfect for you

• A planting map

• Installation notes

• Maintenance notes

• Details or links to where plants can be purchased

• Estimated cost report

Additional services (such as a site map with specific site conditions) can be purchased at additional cost.  Design package contents can be negotiated to better fit your budget.  

You will have an opportunity to review the plan, ask questions, and provide comments.  We are happy to update the landscape plan and quote to further tailor it to your goals. 

We are in the business of creating Curb Appeal.  As such, we know exactly how to get the most bang for your buck when it comes to updating your exterior finishes.  

This service can be performed over email and phone and does not require an onsite consultation. 
This package includes:

• Photo-edited renderings of an exterior house makeover (materials and colors for siding, roof, shutters, exterior lights, sidewalks, and more)

• Links and suggestions for purchasing materials

Does not include the  cost of the container. 
You many want a custom display if you need something deer resistant, you want to use your own pot, you need something with specific colors, or have specific light needs.
