DESIGN AND CONSULTATION RATES & POLICIES
Do you have a challenging site to contend with? Are you unsure of which trees to plant? We offer site consultations for our customers who want us to see their properties first hand. Our fee for local consultations (within 15 miles of the tree farm) is $75.00/hour. This is our minimum charge, so we encourage our clients to utilize a full hour of our time. Drive time is not included as consultation time. Outside of 15 miles, we charge $50.00/hour for the consultation plus $1.00/mile for mileage. The mileage fee covers both labor and fuel expenses.
We do visit all planting sites before we bring our crew to complete basic tree installation work. There is no charge for pre-planting site visits if a consultation is not required. Our pre-planting site visits assure us that everything is as stated in the planting contract. They help us allocate the right resources to the project and alert us to potential issues so that things go off without a hitch on planting day.
Customers are welcome to e-mail us pictures or bring in their laptops in lieu of scheduling an on-site consultation. Advice at the tree farm is always free. We do request that you schedule an appointment if you need substantial assistance, as we never know how busy our retail Saturdays will be. However, if you are just looking for plant suggestions; we have the experience to help you make those hard decisions during our normal business hours: Saturdays, May - November from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM.

MINI DESIGN PACKAGE
Do you feel like you need a plan? Our Mini Design Package includes: two site visits, photographs of the site, a plant collage and a sketch of the basic design. This sketch may be done by hand or on a computer. The Mini Design Package is perfect for small areas, such as the one shown in the picture below. Full landscape designs and large garden plans require more time and effort and are priced accordingly. If we make our initial site visit and determine that your project requires a more detailed plan, you will only be charged for a single site consultation, as described above. If you decide to proceed with a full fledged plan, the site consultation fee will be deducted from the full design price. Our charge for our Mini Design Package is $150.00. Mileage is free within a 15 mile radius of the tree farm. Mileage beyond 15 miles is $1.00/mile. If your project total is $1,000.00 or more and you decide to have it installed, we refund half of the $150.00 service fee.
