Want a landscape that brings you closer to nature & creates delight?
From consultations to “green gloves” service that includes design and install, 70 | 30 Design Studio provides a spectrum of services to meet your needs for your current situation. No bed is too small, no design too big. I work with clients to create spaces that are pleasing to the eye, enhance their lives, and help our local flora and fauna.
Common Landscaping Issues
"Meh" Design
You love your house. The “shrub mustache” around the foundation? Not so much. Maybe you want to do your part to help pollinators, but currently all you have is lawn. Let’s face it: the default landscaping that comes with a house is often blah.
A well-designed landscape not only increases your house’s value, it will enhance outdoor activities.
Extreme Conditions
The neighborhood ducks like to swim in the temporary pond, aka your lawn, each time it rains. Another area gets so dry there’s bare dirt. What to do?
Instead of throwing money away on more sod, get science-backed solutions that actually work.
Awkward Spaces
Skinny side yards. That utility box on your front lawn. A neighbor’s boat covered with a bright blue tarp that you can see out your dining room window.
Good design can screen eyesores, increase privacy, and energize underused spaces.
Services
Consultations
These range from one-time appointments to get new ideas, to an in-depth recommendation for your space complete with plant lists. Good for the gardener who feels fairly confident with plants, but needs a design expert to provide targeted help. Price range: $125 for a 1 hour consult. $300 for a 2 hour consult + plant lists and written up notes from the meeting.
Custom Design
I assess your property’s problem areas as well as its strengths & create a solid plan that addresses both the big picture & exact details of how your landscape will look. I also help select the perfect materials, styles, textures, & colors for your landscape project. I handle all the details, saving you time & stress. Price range: $500 - 5,000 depending on size and complexity of landscape to be converted.
Stormwater Solutions
Using the latest research plus an artful eye, I assess drainage problem areas & come up with alternative courses or solutions. This includes redirecting stormwater from downspouts, nuisance flooding, & shoreline stabilization via scientifically-selected landscaping. Pricing: $300 for a detailed schematic.
