LANDSCAPE DESIGN –  REDEFINED

As California’s climate  becomes drier, homeowners are under increasing pressure to reduce their water usage.  In the current economy, many homeowners also have more limited budgets available to devote to external landscaping.  This includes more limited dollars available for watering and maintaining our yards.

But with these changes come opportunities to design and care for our gardens in new and interesting ways. Garden traditions are being redefined to reflect current knowledge about soil health and water-conserving landscape techniques. San Carlos GardenWorks can help you bridge between the old approaches and the new. Love roses?  Check out the new Flower Carpet, disease-resistant roses. Can’t quite bring yourself to lose the grass? How about trying one of the new “no-mow” meadow grasses by Delta Bluegrass?    With my Streamline Design Consult Service, I can now provide  design assistance that is less expensive than what a traditional landscape planning process would cost.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR LANDSCAPING DOLLARS

Your home and surrounding landscape may be your single greatest investment.  I can help you make the most of that investment.  I now offer three primary ways of working with clients:

• Streamline Design Consults. Working on-site with you to discuss ways to refresh your existing outdoor spaces.  If requested,  I can also provide detailed information on how to most cost-effectively maintain your gardens,  including simple ways you may be able to reduce your irrigation and maintenance bills.  When we are done, you get a detailed list of quantities, sizes, and types of plants we discuss.  This is a very inexpensive service compared to more traditional design processes.
• Planting Plans.  This is for clients who only need help with plants, rather than with both hardscape and plants.
• Full-on Residential Master Landscape Planning.  Typically done for either new homes or remodels.

You can read more about these in the Services section of my website.  For additional information,  please send an email to: karen@hunt106.net and I will get back to you with information about my services and fees.
