Consulting

What to expect from a consulting visit?

A consulting visit can be an efficient and economical way to gather ideas for a new landscaping project, and to find solutions for many design and gardening problems.

Usually my focus is first on the general layout, soil, grading, infrastructure, hardscaping (driveways, edgings, walls, patios, etc.). I often use spray paint to define the location of some important landscape elements, especially walkways, patios and retaining walls.

After defining general aspects of the vegetation, including the general types of vegetation to be used, individual plants can be recommended for various purposes. Tree and shrub planting locations can be marked and labeled with stakes. Plant lists can be compiled for different areas, as far as the time of the consulting visit allows for such detail.

Pricing:

The new price (2008) for a consulting visit is $140. This includes a visit of 1 hr on site and driving time to your location within the seacoast area (North Hampton to Cape Neddick, inland to Berwick, Durham, Exeter. Visits beyond these towns will be charged an additional $10 or more). My hourly rate has now changed as well and is at $90 for all new customers.

If you would like to get specific information about a consulting visit, or to make an appointment with Thomas Berger, please contact us by phone. (207-439-7700)
