Guided DIY Garden Design

Design Your Dream Garden — Wherever You Live

Not everyone needs installation services.

Some homeowners enjoy tackling projects themselves but want the confidence of a professional plan before they start digging.

My Guided DIY Garden Design service provides a personalized roadmap for creating a beautiful, functional garden — without the guesswork.

Whether you’re across town or across the country, I can help you develop a garden plan tailored to your space, goals, and climate.

  • You enjoy DIY projects

How It Works

Real Client Example

From Video Walkthrough to Finished Garden

This garden was designed entirely remotely.

The homeowner provided videos, photos, and measurements. I created a custom planting plan, provided plant quantities, shopping guidance, and substitutions when certain plants weren’t available locally.

A few weeks later, she sent me photos of her completed garden — and videos of hummingbirds visiting the salvia.
