Garden Installation
Book a 60-Minute Garden Consultation — $200
I'll walk your property with you and read what's already there — sun, soil, slope, water — while we talk through what you actually want to be eating. You'll leave with a hand-drawn sketch of where the beds go and why, and a written plan in your inbox within 48 hours: what to plant, when to plant it on Atlanta's calendar, and what to fix first. Whether you build it yourself or hire me to build it, you'll know exactly what you're building.
Gardens built to grow from day one.
Garden Installation turns a plan into a garden you can harvest from. We handle the physical work of building your kitchen garden, from preparing the soil and constructing beds to planting and mulching, so the hardest part is done before you ever pick up a trowel. Every installation is built around edible and medicinal plants suited to your space, your light, and Atlanta's climate. When we're finished, you'll have a garden that's ready to grow and a clear sense of how to care for it, so you can spend less time on screens and more time in the garden.
What's included
A typical garden installation includes site preparation and clearing, soil testing and amendment for Atlanta's red clay, raised bed or in-ground bed construction, paths and edging, plant and seed sourcing, planting, mulching, and [irrigation setup]. We finish with a walk-through of your new garden, covering watering, early care, and what to expect over the first season.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, every installation starts from a Garden Design, so we're building from a clear, scaled plan.
-
Yes. Many clients like to do the planting themselves and have us handle the heavy lifting, like bed construction and soil prep. We're happy to split the project in whatever way suits you.
-
We test before we build and amend based on the results, not guesswork. For most kitchen gardens, raised beds filled with a quality soil blend are the fastest route to productive plants, while in-ground beds get amended with compost and organic matter over time.
-
It can. In neighborhoods like Grant Park, planting isn't regulated, but fences, walls, sheds, greenhouses, and some paths usually need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city before they're built. We'll identify anything that needs review before work begins so there are no surprises.
-
Fall and early spring are ideal. Fall installation lets you plant cool-season greens and gives new beds time to settle before spring, and early spring sets you up for a full summer harvest.
-
Most kitchen gardens are installed in 7 - 14 days depending on size and site conditions.
