Consultation Services

Are you wondering where to even start with developing and maintaining your landscape? Perhaps you’d like some fresh ideas for improving your landscape or an opinion on how to achieve a certain goal in your outdoor space? Maybe you are just wondering what you have in terms of existing plants and how you should take care of them? If you have an interest in receiving a “landscape prescription” tailored to your questions and needs, do email me to set up an appointment. I can work with your schedule, including evenings and weekends, and will give you an idea on the cost as it relates to travel and consultation time. I also am available for advanced landscape designs that are more involved in terms of a scaled layout and design that results in a professional landscape plan that can be followed by the homeowner or a landscape contractor/installer. Again, your landscape prescription, regardless of scope, will be created based on a personal consultation. The combination of your input, questions and needs, along with my experience with a wide range of landscape and horticulture components, will dictate the final product. I would be happy to answer any questions regarding this “prescription service” prior to, during or after the consultation. Client satisfaction and support is very important to me (as are referrals!).

TESTIMONIALS

It was a pleasure working with Mark, he was able to keep the traditional style of my home in mind but created a lovely fresh design that incorporated all the things I wanted in my garden. Including a few I hadn’t thought of, but love! He gave me all the tools I needed succeed with my dream garden!  Jill Nadeau (Watertown, WI)

 We have lived in our home for 8 years and had some ideas for what to do with our yard but in reality we had no idea where to even start. Mark was able to take our unique city lot (not level, sloping, tiered) and create a master landscape plan that was cohesive, beautiful and functional. With his extensive plant knowledge he proposed plantings that we would have never considered or known about. His vision gave us the motivation and blueprint we needed to create our own oasis in the middle of the city. Wes & Maryam Enterline (Janesville, WI)

I love it when a plan comes together!  I heard Mark Dwyer on the Larry Meiller Show (WPT) shortly after we moved to Wisconsin.  After we bought our new home, I contacted Mark through his website.  We met and walked through the property together discussing our thoughts and dreams, likes and dislikes for our yard.  Mark took lots of notes, measured the property and got to work on a plan.  We are thrilled with the landscape design.  Mark provided us with so much information—from a scaled landscape drawing to a spreadsheet listing every plant with comments revealing the characteristics that explain why they were chosen. Mark also provided us with a document that gave us some insight into his creative process in developing the landscape design and gave advice on where to source the plant material. All this information gave us the confidence to do the installation ourselves. Mark continues to encourage questions via email, and he is quick, kind and thorough with his responses. The whole process has been amazing and fun!  We are truly fortunate to have benefited from Mark’s expertise and creativity. It will be fun to watch it all grow and to see the seasonal changes.  Thank you Mark!! D & A Griffin (Fitchburg, WI)
