How We Can Help
Consultation & Design
We can help shape the vision concepts to details.
About Consultation: We start with a meeting to talk about your goals and vision, walk-through your property, look through our traveling library/slideshows, and discuss various options and opportunities. All consultations come with a follow up report documenting opportunities on your site, answers to unresolved questions, and our idea of how CEL can best support your edible adventures.
The two hour consultation is $250. That includes sketches that can be done on site, references to professional support, and some key resources. If you would like a more detailed outline report, AND/OR slideshow with notes, that is $100/additional hour spent (typically 1-3 hours on a report), making the total cost $350-550. Ask about Discounts for students, veterans, elders, and low-income populations.
The initial consultation and review can take design elements only so far.
If you want a landscape drawing, that will be $500-1000 for a basic single family residence base-plant and 1-2 concepts with decent detail. More complex properties with large or complicated plant lists and/or a lot of grades and landscape archiecture typically range in the $1500-$500-3500+ for a site plan, planting plan, construction details. The cost really depends on your needs and how complex the site is and your end goals .
A professional work-plan phasing each thing with tight labor and material budgets is $100/hr, and can take 2-8 hours, again depending on the design.
Clearer specifications and/or design time may be required depending on the complexity of the project. If you send us some photos or base plan-- from a roof replacement or previous landscape design--before hand, that is always helpful.
Edible Neighborhood Workshops + Project Management
Edible Neighborhoods is the concept of encouraging your neighborhood to communally support each other in growing edible gardens. We offer our gardening services and resources to educate the group, as well as discounts for groups who purchase nursery items in bulk.
There can be numerous benefits to this concept and with the entire neighborhood growing, there will be more pollinators to help plants thrive and reproduce!
To start this concept, first gather the information of interested neighbors and their availability for an initial group meeting. Go to our Nursery Store to purchase the Edible Neighborhood Workshop to be created for your neighborhood residents. We request that someone in your neighborhood hosts this workshop so please allow for enough space for the entire group to sit comfortably and plan for 2 hours of information sharing. If you choose to include a pot-luck concept, food and drinks always make these gatherings more ‘neighborly.’ If you need assistance with event planning, we will gladly offer suggestions and details needed for a successful start to your neighborhood garden, please contact us at info@eatyouryard.com

We now rely on the CEL Quantum Network to build and can handle most of our designs. Because we know vegetable gardens, carpentry, hardscaping (stone and concrete patios, walkways, and walls) , irrigation & lighting systems, rain-gardens, cisterns, soils and mulches, gutters, and of course plants.
