How Garden Consultations Work

Oakstone Garden Consulting offers thoughtful, on-site guidance for homeowners seeking clarity, direction, and confidence in their gardens. Consultations are designed to support informed decision-making rather than push construction or unnecessary work.

1. Initial Contact

Clients begin by reaching out through the website or email to briefly describe their garden, goals, and any challenges they’re facing. This helps ensure the consultation is focused and productive.

2. On-Site Garden Consultation

Consultations take place in your garden and typically last 60–90 minutes. During this time we walk the space together, discuss your vision, assess existing plants and conditions, and explore opportunities for refinement or improvement.

Topics often include:

• Plant selection and placement

• Seasonal interest and succession

• Garden balance, structure, and flow

• Long-term maintenance and stewardship

• Sustainable and site-appropriate solutions

3. Professional Guidance & Recommendations

Rather than delivering generic advice, each consultation is tailored to your property and lifestyle. Recommendations are practical, realistic, and grounded in horticultural expertise.

Depending on your needs, this may include:

• Verbal guidance during the visit

• Follow-up notes or planting suggestions

• Strategic direction for future improvements

4. Ongoing Support (Optional)

Some clients choose to engage Oakstone Garden Consulting for periodic seasonal consultations or long-term guidance as their garden evolves. This ensures continuity, refinement, and thoughtful progression over time.
