Basic Installation "Package" & Current Pricing

My Service Fee*: $350 This includes everything needed to create your Habitat installation minus the cost of any materials & plants needed. This fee covers 6-12hours of on-site work (either in a single day or over several days depending on time of year, weather and other variables) for installation of plants, sourcing plants, tailored follow-up care instructions, & and all administrative and office hours used. Most projects will fall into this package regardless of size & scope, (larger and more intricate projects may need national on-site hours) it is often the number of individual plants itself & site prep that dictate the timetable more than anything. Any additional work hours required will be billed at $30hr and when possible, included in your direct estimate & quote.

 

*This package is for a size comparable to future "Habitat Enhancement Package" I hope to be able to offer In very near future. There are no minimum "service fees", and smaller or more customized installations may be priced significantly less. For individual quotes, please contact me directly!

 

Cost of Plants & Supplies: Varies based on site size and plant selection - discussed during consultation. Thankfully here in the RVA metro we have multiple local growers and nurseries, some even specializing in genetics hand-collected from right here in the Commonwealth! Having multiple local growers, nurseries, & commercial greenhouses allows me to "shop around" and prince- compare to make sure I am making your money go it's full worth. Ultimately my goal is to increase biodiversity & build beautiful habitat - so rest assured, I will always be looking for the most economical source for your plantings. I'm time I hope to even partner with some of our local growers, to make your money go even further. Until then, your estimate will include the pricing for which ever suppliers make most sense at that time.

 

Until I have enough capital that I can begin to source the plants at wholesale rates and offer single payment "Habitat Enhancement Packages" as planned, this is the only way I am able to fund this venture. In time and working with our local growers here in central Virginia and across the commonwealth, I hope to offer many different all in inclusive "packages" from quaint woodland oasis to Piedmont Pocket-prairies & rain gardens. The goal is to offer a priced "package" that will include a mixture of hand-sown seed & love stake cuttings, a flat(s) of 50-100 perennial plant plugs, & 5-15 quart or gallon-sized plants with enough flexibility to fit almost any sized space. This will introduce high diversity of species in varying stages of growth on day 1 to maximize aesthetic value & solidify long-term habitat success for generations to come. This package is intended to be priced at $650 total, to include everything above. However, this will only be feasible once wholesale purchases can be made as I continue to grow.

"Do what you can, Where you are, With what you have" 

Alternatively, you can also hire GardenWild Services to do more general landscaping projects, though I will always be persistent about opting for native plants, at a flat rate of $30hr. You buy the plants, and I'll do the rest! While I don't intend to offer it as a consistent service indefinitely, if you just want your yard mowed , hand-removal of invasives,  mulch spread, or other similarly related "yard" tasks - to help me fund this dream, I will gladly contract myself out for these services, minimum 2hrs for any contracted work. Strong preference for a free consultation prior to you purchasing any plants or materials specifically in this way, but I will work with whatever you have if that's what you need. 

 

Because this isn't intended to be a core part of GardenWild Services indefinitely, please be mindful that I do not have the internal infrastructure to do large-site maintenance and only projects reasonably completed via push-mower, hand trimmers, sheers, shovel & snips can be undertaken unless other equipment is already available onsite. If you have your own equipment but lack the time or ability to complete yourself then (for right now...) reach out directly and let's talk it over! While the comprehensive estimates & quotes will be limited to actual plant installations , I would be more than happy to give you a free quote for any project you have in mind or refer you to a reasonable local alternative.

 



Limited Time Special Oppurtunity!

Since I'm still in the process of building my portfolio and looking for properties where I can document the transformation process while I get GardenWild off the ground. If you're interested in having your project featured (with photos and follow-up visits over the next couple years), I'll waive $250 of my service fee in exchange for using your installation as a showcase example. All you will be required to pay is for the cost of plants & supplies, and then $100 due day of installation. (Or if you have other ideas, let's talk!)

This is perfect if you:

  • Want professional native habitat installation or professional landscaping at a fraction of what the same job would normally cost
  • Don't mind me taking photos for marketing purposes, and you are open to follow-up photos at predetermined times going forward 
  • Are excited to be part of documenting Virginia's habitat restoration, ready to take direct action & want to be a foundational member of the GardenWild family- ensuring generations to come will be able to learn about our wild spaces through direct emersion and not just "in-memorium" footnotes.

Just contact me, I would love to work something out that helps us both!

 

Please understand that I will not be able to offer this opportunity to everyone and it will depend completely on the project chosen. If you are interested in being a foundational supporter of GardenWild Services and my mission please let me know when reaching out for consultation! 

 

If you are a business owner and interested in a novel approach to commerical landscaping, please reach out directly for specialized opportunities!
