Our Services

Landscape Design

Our full landscape design service is for those wanting to invest in a new landscape or evolve their current space. We gather information about your lifestyle and goals and then create a series of drawings that meet your unique needs. The design process is a collaborative relationship that takes into consideration the long term goals of your space. The result is a full package of drawings ready for a landscape contractor to turn into reality. For more information on the phases of design and our approach, please refer to our Design Process.
Planting Design

If you are happy with the size and shape of your existing garden beds but don’t like the planting within them, this option is for you. After an initial site meeting, we will prepare a moodboard to convey the look and feel of the chosen plant material, along with detailed planting plans and accompanying plant list so that you or a contractor can source and plant the new garden. We will work with you to create a plan to amend or completely replace the plant material for a beautiful new garden space.
Garden Advice Package

For those who just want a bit of advice and a fresh pair of eyes on their garden, we offer an on site garden consultation. Prior to the meeting, a questionnaire will be sent for you to put ideas to paper and to help us understand your vision and challenges. During the consultation you can ask as many questions as you like and we will offer both design and horticultural advice. Following the consultation, you will receive a document which serves as an action plan for everything we’ve discussed. Often extra bits of information and advice end up in this document too!

Client Testimonials

"Working with Jennifer Sleigh Garden Design was an exceptional experience. We approached her with a project that we felt overwhelmed by. Jennifer was able to identify the important aspects that needed to be addressed, focused on our specific tastes, and executed a design that we love. Her plant selections were spot on, as well, she had a great understanding of the aesthetic we were hoping for. We continue to receive compliments on the overall design daily and could not be happier. We would not hesitate to work with Jennifer again."

DEREK & KAREN M.
"When I mentioned to Jenn that I needed a design for my front garden, she was happy to take on the challenge. With a tight budget and limited space, she created a beautiful planting plan and came up with a 3-D rendering of my property with the design in place. Jenn is a joy to work with, and has a true passion for what she does. She is a prompt and clear communicator, and I can’t recommend working with her enough!"

EMILY G.
"After purchasing a new home I tried to spruce up the bare bones landscaping, but after many attempts and money spent on plants, my yard still looked terrible. Fortunately, Jenn took on the project and really sought to find what my desired style was. Jenn produced what I can only call a work of art. Her creative vision from the start was the solution to the problem I faced and something I would have never been able to come up with on my own. I actually cried when I saw the project finished. She made the process easy, communicating throughout to ensure my preferences were upheld at every stage. She was kind, knowledgeable and efficient. I was amazed at how fast she coordinated all aspects, from hardscape contractors to her gorgeous soft scape selections. I definitely felt well taken care of. She went above and beyond. To this day I have people complimenting me on my yard. Forever grateful, Jenn! Thank you."

"Jenn was able to see a vision that we just couldn't in our yard. She listened to what we were looking for and saw past the barriers we had to create a beautiful and functional design that fits so perfectly with our house and lifestyle. Not only is Jenn professional, but it's clear she's passionate about her work and she brings a beautiful artistry, simple and elegant, to her designs."

KURT C. & CATHERINE R.
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was flexible with which services we could choose from, and really listened and understood what we were hoping for in our garden. The garden layout, plant list, and planting plan were beautifully done and easy to follow. Jennifer also helped us procure some of our plants from the wholesale nursery and delivered them! We were so pleased with her work! Thanks for helping us turn a patch of dirt into something beautiful!!”

JESSICA L. AND WILLEM B.
"My partner and I retained Jennifer to design a backyard oasis that functions for two dogs, two kids, and two green space loving adults. Our experience throughout this process was overwhelmingly positive and we're so grateful to have been gifted with her creativity. She was personable, inquisitive, extremely detail oriented, excited to collaborate, and came to the table with lots of options and ideas. She offered us guidance to suit our lifestyle not only in the final product, but how we would interact with this space as we moved forward in our lives. Her vision was thoughtful and reflected all of the diligent research she did with us to determine our style/needs. We're thrilled with the result and how she built our priorities into such a peaceful but functional final design. 10/10"

AMANDA S.
"Jenn is so knowledgeable about a wide range of plants and has a great eye for design. She was instrumental in getting our meadow planned and planted along with native plant selection for the area. We are now working with her to redesign our landscaping around our house. She is a pleasure to work with!"
