Landscape Consulting

HI! I’m Colleen. Gardening is supposed to be fun! I’ll guide you from stressed to enthused during our 2 hour consultation. I help my customers by alleviating their anxieties about their yards.

  • 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 designs and plant delivery. Consults cost $350.

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!”
