What I do

Design

Garden design

A plan drawn for your actual site: how the light moves, where the water drains, and what you cook. Beds sized and placed before anything is cut.

Build

Installation

Cedar raised beds cut to fit, set level and square on a proper base. Living soil built in, irrigation run, planted out the same season.

Tend

Maintenance

Weekly, monthly or quarterly through the season. Planting, feeding, pests and disease, succession, and the harvest actually getting picked.

Advise

Consultation

For the garden you already have, or the one you intend to build yourself. I walk it with you, work out what the soil and the light will carry, and leave you with a plan and a planting calendar you can run on your own.

How it works

First walk to planted

  1. 01

    Site consultation

    I walk the space with you. Light, drainage, access, and what you actually want to eat. $100, and it comes off the project if we build together.

  2. 02

    Plan and options

    A real plan with real numbers for your site rather than a range. Bed layout, materials, planting, and what it costs.

  3. 03

    Build

    Cedar cut to fit on site. Base, beds, soil, irrigation, planting. Most residential gardens go in inside a week.

  4. 04

    Tend, or hand over

    Take it from here yourself with a planting calendar, or put it on a maintenance schedule and I keep it producing.

Why it is different

Three things most builders cannot say

Most of the plants start here

The herbs, vegetables and beneficial perennials are started at Horseshoe Farm in Travelers Rest, so they arrive already used to Upstate clay and Upstate humidity.

Every bed gets farm woodchips

Decomposed woodchips from the farm go into every bed. Somebody buying soil off a truck is not putting that in your garden.

Nothing gets sprayed

Beyond-organic, which here means no sprays at all, not even the organic-approved ones. It is what I do on my own farm and it is what goes in your beds.

Where I work

Greenville and the Upstate

Greenville, Travelers Rest, Greer, Simpsonville, Taylors and the surrounding Upstate. Homes, restaurants, schools, churches, HOAs and community gardens. If you are further out, ask: it depends on the size of the project and how often it needs tending.

Maintenance is the part genuinely limited by distance, because it is a regular visit rather than a one-off build.

Investment

What it costs

Typical projects begin around $1,500, and most full kitchen gardens land between $6,000 and $10,000. Estate gardens, micro-farms and community projects are scoped individually and run well beyond that.

What moves the number: how many beds, how much prep the ground needs, whether irrigation has to be run, and how much of the planting goes in at once. The $100 consultation is where a range becomes a real number for your exact space.

Next step

The first step is a $100 site consultation

I walk your space with you, get to know you and your vision, see how the light moves and where the water drains, and go over any opportunities or challenges I notice. Then I put together a real plan. The $100 comes off the project if we build together.
