But how much does it cost?
But how much does it cost?
Mel sincerely apologizes that we can’t just cough up a number. She too gets annoyed when she can’t find that info on a biz website. But every plant project is genuinely unique, with its own challenges, thrills, timelines, and parameters.
All of our work begins with a free initial consult, in person if you’re local, or via phone or video if you’re not. After that conversation, we prepare a detailed project quote. Email mel@placebymel.com and we’ll find a time to talk.
There is no pressure, ever, to move forward after receiving a quote. We learn something from every person we speak with. And if you want to work together in the future, we’ll be here.
Our pricing
Above all else, PLACE is a team of soil science, botany, and art dorks. We work from the heart.
We create lush and sustainable gardens that you can delight in for years to come. We use excellent organic product and source from local nurseries and small businesses. Plants grown with care and horticultural expertise develop root systems that allow them to flourish far beyond the nursery. Cheap product may look similar upon installation, but tells on itself over time.
PLACE also pays every team member and specialist we work with a living wage. This should be standard in our industry, but it is not.
We believe plant work is deeply underpaid and undervalued. We know all labor is skilled labor. We refuse to build a business that relies on exploitative practice and human devaluation in order to grow.
When you work with PLACE, you are working with people who see plant work as a sacred vocation. We move in ways that honor the dignity of the practice and the people devoted to it.
