Services
Since most of our land is privately
own, it's important that we consider what we do with and how we do things on our
landscape, no matter how small, since we will benefit along with nature, with its
care. Contact Good-Natured Landscapes to create a
beautiful, functional, nature friendly landscape:
 Landscape Design: Develop a customized
detailed landscape design plan, whether you’ve got a small or a large yard, a new construction
or an older landscape. A design can also include patios, walkways
and decks, or other outdoor areas such as vegetable gardens, incorporating rain
barrels and rain gardens, etc. We
can discuss your landscape over the phone/email, then schedule a free
introductory visit to find your likes, dislikes, wants, needs, etc. and
provide an estimate for a landscape design plan. It takes on average
2-4 weeks to finish a
landscape design plan. Designs range from $350 to $950 for an average
yard, but depends on size and complexity. - Plant Consultation: Provide
a 2-3 hour on-site consultation if you need a bit of help choosing plants for an
existing area less than 100-150 square feet. 2
hour minimum.
- Rain Garden Design: Don’t let storm water run-off
pollute our rivers, lakes and streams, or contribute to flooding and erosion, when you can have an attractive rain garden soak up and filter the water as nature intended.
Or transform a wet, poorly drained area into a backyard oasis attracting birds
and dragonflies.
- Outdoor
classroom: Discounted
design of outdoor classrooms
during
the months of November-February for local schools. Studies have shown
that hands on experiences with nature are important to
a child's imagination, creativity, physical and mental well-being, and future stewardship. Call
for rates.
- Save Money: For customers who want to do the installation
themselves, Good-Natured
Landscapes can help with plant purchases and layout once a plan is complete, and offer installation
and maintenance suggestions that are environmentally friendly.
- Contractor help: Good-Natured
Landscapes is a design only company but can work with customers to get an estimate from a
landscape contractor to do the installation and can be on-site during the
installation or answer contractor questions as needed.
- Landscaping with Natives
Plants Class: A 60 minute class
explaining the benefits of native plants and tips for using them in the your
garden. This is great for garden clubs and other
organizations interested in learning about native plant gardening.
- Scheduling:
I’m available all year for
the above services. Spring is the busiest time, followed by fall then summer,
with winter being the slowest.

Questions?:
Feel
free to call/email and discuss the scope of your project, location, scheduling, and ask
any initial questions. All services are charged at an hourly rate or cost of
plants. Rates subject to change. Additional fees for longer
travel distances (gas and time spent traveling). Estimates are given in good
faith but may not be the final costs.
"My
hope for what lies ahead in the field of landscape design is not a revolution
against the use of non-natives, but a resolution to educate ourselves about what
has worked for Mother Nature through the ebb and flow of time, and to put that
knowledge to work in the planned landscapes that are everywhere a part of our lives."
