The 3D render, explained

Same bed. Two seasons. Zero guessing.

Natives look different in June than in October — that’s the point. We model your house, set the sun angle for your lot, and render each view twice so you see the bloom and the seed-head stage before a shovel moves.

Add-ons · attach to any package

Bolt on only what the yard needs.

Each add-on is a flat price. Mention it in your email and it goes on the same invoice.

Extra 3D view

$145

One more angle — the side gate, the patio sightline, the view from the kitchen window.

Extra change round

$95

For when the second draft makes you rethink the whole west border. Welcome to the club.

Winter-interest pass

$180

Bark, seed heads, evergreen structure — so January isn’t a flat brown rectangle.

Pollinator-habitat upgrade

$210

Host plants and nesting-friendly gaps worked into the layout, with a bloom-by-bloom bee and butterfly list.

Rain-garden grading detail

$260

A sectional drawing of depth, inlet and overflow, so the crew digs a basin that actually drains.

Straight answers

The questions before the invoice.

Do you install the plants?

No. We draw; you plant it yourself over a weekend or hand the PDF set to any crew. Because the sheet has counts and spacing, installers can quote it without a site-visit guessing game.

How does billing work?

You email the package you want, we send one invoice, and work starts once it’s paid. There’s no cart and no subscription.

What if I only half-know what I want?

That’s the Sketch. It’s the cheapest way to see a direction, and the price is credited if you upgrade — ask us when you email.

Will deer eat all of it?

Not all. We put aromatic, bitter-leaved natives on the outer edge and tuck the tastier ones into sheltered spots. We’ll be honest about what’s risky.

Can I visit the studio?

Come by 31 Wynnewood Rd, Chappaqua, weekdays 8am–6pm. Message first so we’re at the desk with the plotter warm.

What do you need to start?

Photos, a survey or satellite screenshot, and your wishlist. The full checklist is on the home page.

Next move

Send the lot. We’ll send back a number and a date.
