Consulting services are available on time fee basis as a one visit service or retainer to a variety of client needs:

Developers
Acquiring valuable insight and information when developing a property for resale is essential to capitalize on existing land opportunities while avoiding costly misjudgments during the construction process.

Golf Courses
Eighteen hole and larger golf courses may have one or more horticulturist on staff. An outside perspective can assist in design review, tree establishment and monitoring, drainage challenges, water plantings and maintenance budgeting.

Nine hole courses typically have smaller staffing levels with superintendents and supervisors wearing many caps of responsibility. Quarterly, semi-annual, or annual consulting visits can increase plant health and landscape aesthetics while decreasing maintenance input costs.

In addition to proper design, on-going maintenance advice is crucial to successful landscape investments.
