Kathy is a G3 Certified Watershed Wise Landscape Professional. She uses techniques that increase soil health and keep more water on the property.
The transformation of your landscape begins with meeting at your property. Expect a one to 1.5 hour brainstorming session and discussion of your objectives. Kathy will ask questions about your property, goals, concerns and your budget. Most importantly she will get a sense of your style and the changes that will make you happy with your garden every day.
Kathy takes notes, photos and measurements and returns to her office to begin work on the concept and the plant palette. On significant projects, she will meet with you again with a rough concept and you will help her hash out all the details. On smaller or more straight-forward projects, she will return with a finished layout and detailed plant list.
The next step is to get a bid or bids for the project from a landscape contractor with the plan in hand. Kathy is usually present throughout the whole process, from composing the plan to the final touches as the landscape is installed.
