Design/Master-planning

Once the needs of the client are assessed, Moodscapes will develop an overall design of the landscape you desire, using professional design and drafting techniques. The design is set to scale and includes the specific plants, hardscapes, garden structures, and all materials needed to create the landscape with precision and efficiency.

Installation/Coordination

This includes the completion of the design as drawn, leaving no loose-strings and nothing to be desired. Moodscapes is a team of experienced garden installers who work effectively and creatively in order to bring the final design to fruition. If needed, Judi coordinates highly qualified and experienced sub-contractors to simplify the installation and ensure that the design is carried out with precision and efficiency.

Maintenance 


Though most of our gardens require very little maintenance, Moodscapes offers to be your personal garden caretaker. We can schedule visits biweekly, monthly, or however often you deem appropriate. These maintenance visits include weeding, pruning, soil improvement and checking on the general health of your garden if you so desire.

Consulting and Education 


Often clients do not need a master plan or major installation. Moodscapes is happy to meet with you once or a series of times to assist you with solving the problem. Questions may be focused on design, plant material, maintenance or whatever concerns you.

We also do consulting to educate our clients so that they may become more involved in the development and maintenance of their landscape. We may help you identify plant material, address concerns regarding an unhealthy tree or quality of soil. We may assist you with drainage issues that could save you a great deal of money in the long run.


In the case that clients are interested in designing and installing their own gardens, Moodscapes offers consultations to assist the client in developing and drafting a design, choosing plant material, techniques for planting, and building an overall plan for the maintenance of the gardens if needed.
