INSTALLATION

Any outdoor space can make a positive impact on the environment through the planting of indigenous plants and removal of invasive, non-native species. From apartment balconies to spacious suburban properties,all have the potential to be a home for pollinator populations, birds and wildlife.

Building

All projects are organized and managed by Planted Green’s founder, Sara Strother. This is an all inclusive service to remove existing landscaping, rebuild the landscape according to the design agreed upon, cleaning up and hauling away all debris.

When your design includes hardscaping, landscape structures such as raised vegetable beds, pergolas, arbors, or fencing, Planted Green will also organize contractors to execute. 

INSTALLATION PROCESS:

  • Estimate for all inclusive service

  • Signed contract and paid non-refundable deposit

  • Installing the landscape

  • Final payment upon completion of services outlined in Installation contract

NEXT STEP:

It is recommended that all installations move on to the next phase of service, Stewardship. Planted Green guarantees plant success with monthly care by a native plant gardener organized by Planted Green if stewardship begins 4 weeks after the first plants are installed. No plants will be guaranteed or replaced to clients without stewardship by Planted Green.
