Garden Bed Design & Construction

How Do We Design and Construct New Garden Beds?

We have a specific process that we put into action to build new or restore your garden beds.  Our customers are thrilled with the improvement to their curb appeal and "new look" we're able to give their property.

Step #1.  You need to request a consultation and estimate.  We will come to your property, look at your current garden beds or the areas you'd like new beds installed.  We take accurate measurements so we know how much soil and/or mulch is going to be required and what we're going to need for plantings.

Step #2.  We discuss the plantings and materials you'd like to use.  We typically try and use low-maintenance materials when possible.  These include low-maintenance native plants or bushes (suitable for zone 7B and 8A), river rock and stone, or mulch.  Plantings can vary depending on the time of year, the amount of color or interest you'd like, and what is currently available at our local nurseries.  We always choose plants that will do well in our climate.

Step #3.  We can provide you with a hand-drawn garden bed design that will outline the shape, and plantings that will be used for your new garden beds.  We can work with you to adjust and fine-tune the design if needed.

Step# 4.   Once you've accepted the design and approved our estimate we can get to work!  We start by cleaning out your existing garden beds, removing all of the brush and overgrowth.  We re-establish an edge to the beds so they have a clear and distinct separation from your lawn, walkway, driveway, or other hardscaping.

Step #5.  With the beds cleaned out and edged we can begin to layout the new plantings.  From here we can fine-tune the placement of the new plants to determine what is going to look the best, taking into consideration future growth, and the look you're trying to achieve.

Step #6.  With the new plantings installed, we can then fill in the garden beds with new soil, mulch, river rock, stone, or whatever material you'd like to have in the beds.  We always recommend mulch or stone for a beautiful, uniform appearance, and very low maintenance requirements.

Step #7.  You get to enjoy the beautiful new look we've given your home!
