Costs: A rule of thumb that can be useful in grasping the reality of landscape design and installation: Comprehensive landscaping can cost up to 10% of your home’s value, though the scope for most people is much less. For your fee, I have developed a system using a composite of various metrics, and I can work with you to make something happen. Just ask. Remember, your landscape can quadruple your home's usable area, get you moving around more and increasing your health, give you peace of mind in a downpour when you know your drainage is on point, or begin the process of relaxation each time you come home to a scene you love. Frankly, landscape design has been grossly underrated and undervalued! I am here to change that.


New Home Builds: I encourage you to contact me before siting a new home. Builders and architects often gloss over very important details relating to ingress and egress, solar aspect, drainage, microclimate, existing landforms, and noise, as they get caught up with the building itself, are cutting corners and dollars, or they just don’t have the landscape literacy. 


I was so glad that I am a landscape designer when I designed my earth-sheltered home, and integrated it with a converted Quonset Hut on my property outside of Asheville. I was able to guide many crucial decisions and propose ideas the builders didn't consider.

I was looking to create a more natural front yard with less grass and more native plants. Teresa was so skillful in helping me think through the design and what best fit what I was seeking. I was delighted with the outcome. Much more natural, while still fitting within the general vibe of the landscaping in my community. She also designed a winding forest path for my wooded backyard and a plant plan for adding texture, color and interest along the path. Teresa is very creative, easy to work with, and always with the client's goals in the forefront.
