Will you be able to give me the names and numbers of some landscape contractors when we finish?

 
Yes, I keep a list of landscape contractors. They do not work for me, but all of the contractors I recommend have worked with me on projects over many years.



Is there a best time to install my landscaping?

Landscaping in the Bay Area is possible most, if not all, of the year. Very hot spells and heavy rain may delay a project. A great time to plant is the fall just before our winter rains, but plants do not always look good at this time of the year. The nurseries are filled with good-looking plants in the spring, but hot weather (lots of irrigating) is around the corner.



What if I just want a detailed planting plan? Help laying out a swimming pool? Two hours of maintenance tips?

You will tell me either on the phone or during the interview what you need from me. We'll start there.



How do I go about scheduling a consultation?

Simply leave a message for me at (408) 297-8873. I will need your name, phone number, address with a major cross street, and a zip code if you would like some grid paper to make a site plan (configuration of the yard). I typically schedule consultations for 10:00 and 2:00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. You may need to wait a number of weeks for the consultation, but remember that you will have a drawing for a contractor at the end of the two hours.
