Having an idea what your budget is will help me to create a beautiful garden of your dreams — Lovely gardens come in all sizes with all kinds of price tags. Having a base price to work with… helps me, and you to prioritize what elements are needed in the garden and what elements are the ‘frosting on the cake’.
