Services
Consultation
Option #1
We assess the entirety of your property using a whole systems approach and provide you with our detailed interpretation of the site and the possibilities/options we envision taking into consideration any input you have provided us with. Consultation time: 2-4 hours depending on the scale of the property.
Option #2
This option is geared toward specific questions, concerns, projects or situations that you would like to resolve, for example building a raised garden bed or assessing the status of a planting. If you would like to ask questions only about a particular area of the property and get input from us on your specific ideas/questions/concerns regarding a single project/task within the property this is the adequate option.
