      Great question. Everyone needs a sounding board. Everyone deserves the best information available to create: A plan that saves time and money. 
 A plan that gets it right the first time around.
 A plan that considers every option.This makes the ‘doing part’ easy. And this ultimate plan happens with the right collaboration. I work with you through the ‘planning phase.’ And by the time we’re done, you feel EMPOWERED and READY TO GET TO WORK.

      Can’t you just get advice from the nursery? Or the Internet? Or AI? Or the neighbor who gardens a lot? Another great question! You can, and those are wonderful places to get information. This is where we draw on my 20+ years of experience. But looking closely at what you are working with is really the key to a successful plan. As you know, your soil, trees, and sloping conditions are different – even from your next-door neighbor. Plus, even if you have a hold on your yard, there’s the ever-changing weather patterns in Central Texas. And the plan we come up with takes into account all the contingencies.

      Super. Let’s get started. Everything starts with THE WALKTHROUGH. I drive out to your property and we WALK THROUGH it together. It only takes two hours. I’ll be looking at everything. And asking you questions. You can ask me anything: About plantings, trees, soil conditions, etc. We talk about what you have and where you’d like to go. After our 2 hour consult, you will get recommendations for follow-up services like schematic designs and plant delivery. 
Dr. Cecilia Burnside, Brentwood:
“Her wonderful consult included creating a rain garden that will be full of wild flowers, berms and swales to prevent flooding, and ways to save, redirect and slow rain water … she has always given me great advice on everything, including plant/tree selection for my yard, plant care, veggie garden tips, and soil amendments.”
Laurie Felker Jones, Far South Austin:
“I highly recommend working with Colleen. She’s been an incredible thought partner and trusted expert I’ve loved working with to transform my outdoor space into one perfect for our family. I came to Colleen with a bunch of ideas and a bit of overwhelm. She helped me translate my grand vision into actionable, achievable steps organized by priority and optimized for my goals, budget and timeline. I can not sing her praises enough!”
