Design investment
Pays for site review, judgment, horticultural and visual decisions, documentation, presentation, and the revision defined by the selected service.
Clear expectations before founder time
Design is professional work with value of its own.
Exact public starting points and ranges are intentionally absent until the owner approves them. The pricing method is still clear: scope, evidence, complexity, deliverables, revisions, and timing determine design investment; implementation is separate.
Optional install-ready deliverables
Additional handoff depth may be separately valued when approved and included. It is not assumed in every design.
Conceptual installation range
A planning signal only. It is never a quote and cannot replace local verification.
Small Seeds Co. local proposal
A separate firm scope considered only after design, site verification, geography, season, and capacity review.
Partner installer proposal
Issued independently by the contracting installer after their own verification. Small Seeds Co. does not invent or guarantee it.
What shapes the work
Design complexity
Garden-area count, dimensions, property relationships, evidence quality, slope, drainage, roots, existing plants, deliverable depth, revision needs, timing, and phasing.
Implementation complexity
Bed creation, removal, access, soil preparation, roots, slope, plant sizes, materials, equipment, supplier availability, local labor, weather, and unknown site conditions.
Current pricing methods

Garden Master Plan
Property scale, area count, dependencies, evidence, deliverables, and phasing determine design investment.
Limited Local Design & Implementation
Preparation, removals, access, soil, roots, slope, plant sizes, materials, supplier availability, and local labor affect implementation.
Why no numbers yet? Approved public starting points, ranges, consultation fees, and local minimums have not been supplied. Small Seeds Co. will publish them only as versioned, owner-approved configuration—not as invented code constants.
