  6. make design suggestions with rough sketches
  7. make plant lists for each specific area
  8. mark locations in your garden for specific plants, paths, etc.
  9. prioritize elements of the project and determine which aspects may require professional assistance
  10. evaluate the health and value of existing landscape elements and make non-toxic recommendations for pest and disease control

We can also advise you on

  1. beginning or improving a vegetable/fruit garden
