Services

Our Garden Designer, Corinne Kennedy, is available to help you create the garden of your dreams this season with one of three design services tailored to your needs.  Her design approach is designing for year-round interest and “right plant, right place” — meeting your personal tastes & functional requirements by choosing hardy, pest and disease resistant plants appropriate to your site.  Except where noted design rate is $65.00 per hour.  Contact Corinne directly at (206) 937-5258, option 2, or email her at corinnekennedydesign@gmail.com.

Garden Design 
A custom garden design for your property, ready for installation – includes landscape plan drawn to scale and annotated plant list.  We recommended this option if you plan to use a landscape contractor.  Requires a minimum of 8 hours to complete.

Quick Design
Ideal for the DIY gardener who wants to get it right the first time.  You draw a base map (to scale, with 1 inch =  4 ft.) of the area of your property that needs help, and Corinne will draw a planting plan onto your map when she visits.  She’ll also provide you with a hand-written plant list.  A quick design requires just a single visit, & usually takes 3-4 hours.

Garden Consultation
Corinne will visit your garden, and answer design & gardening questions.  Consultation topics can range from plant identification and maintenance requirements, to plant removal & replacement recommendations.  You identify the issues to be addressed, and take notes as needed.  This option does not include a planting plan drawn to scale.  Consultations usually take 1-2 hours, depending upon the number of questions and size of your property.

Corinne encourages potential clients to call her when they have time to discuss their situation and requirements in some detail, and ask questions about her design approach & services.  Otherwise, send Corinne an email with your phone number and a few good times for her to reach you.  It’s also helpful for clients to email some photos of their garden before any scheduled visit.

Unless you already know where your underground utilities are located, PLEASE CALL 811 OR VISIT www.callbeforeyoudig.org AT LEAST 3 BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE HER VISIT to request that all utilities be marked.  This is a free service, with different utilities identified by different colors of paint.
