Installation and
Services
Sometimes
clients wish to plant their gardens themselves. But more often, I am asked
to supervise and organize the preparation of the site and work with and
coordinate various sub-contractors for the garden's basic structures.
If requested
by clients, I can personally select and order trees, shrubs and herbaceous
perennials. I can also organize and supervise sub-contracted work such
as planting perennials, bulbs, trees and shrubs.
It is not
possible to plant a garden and walk away from it and expect it to thrive
- newly planted trees, shrubs and perennials must be weeded, watered and
fertilized and carefully monitered to assure that they become successfully
established. For this reason, follow-up is extremely important. Once a
garden (or specific area) is installed, I continue to visit the site at
periodic intervals and provide horticultural consultations when required.
Because
I am a gardener, as well as a designer, and have grown many of the plants
I include in my designs, I am able to provide my clients with practial
advise on plant care and maintence and help develop an ongoing maintence
program.
