Carmen's Gardens
Currently accepting new clients
Scope of Services
Carmen's Gardens serves residential and commercial locations within the designated service area.
This is a "Design Plus" business. My main focus is on creating landscape designs for individuals and businesses, who then take my designs to a landscape architect or landscape maintenance firm for installation. However, I do provide installation services for small projects.
To determine if your project qualifies for my installation services, send an email to CarmensGardens1@gmail.com
What You Get
For a flat rate or hourly fee (depending on the project), you will receive:
1) an on-site consultation
2) a bubble diagram (see photo)
3) a binder with all the information needed to turn the design into reality: landscape architect options, plant care info, where to find the plants and products I've included in your design, and more.
4) follow up support via email

Schedule an Appointment

Consults are by appointment only.
A consult includes an in-person visit to review your landscape space and a thorough discussion of your needs. A timeframe for completion is provided.
A $100 deposit is required to schedule the first consult. This deposit is then credited towards your final design costs or refunded if you choose not to move forward after our consult.
For a preliminary discussion of your project, schedule a complimentary phone consult by emailing CarmensGardens1@gmail.com
What makes a meditation garden different?
The purpose of a meditation garden is not simply to look pretty (though they are very, very pretty). Spending time in a meditation garden should make one feel peaceful, clear-headed and connected to nature. Meditation gardens invite you to stay a while.
Fire adds warmth and energy to any space.
A simple bird bath lures winged friends.
Wind chimes add a certain something to your meditation practice.
Ground yourself by going barefoot on a clover lawn.
