I am a landscaper connected with the High Plains Plant Propagation guild in the Denver metro. We are a group of Landscapers, designers, plant propagators, and landowners trying to change how landscaping is done in Denver.
I will draw up a detailed guild plan and present you a copy of the reasons behind the inclusion of the various plants. This will cost between $25 and $50, depending on the complexity of the guild and whether it is a stock item or custom.
I
should point out at this point that I do not have a
PDC and am self educated in
Permaculture. However, few people have long term
experience with specific guilds in a given climate: this is largely an armchair profession still, until we have studied and improved our guilds for the next 50 years. So my guilds have at least a fair chance of being successful, and will be far and away better then standard landscaping.
The labor to install the guild will cost $15 an hour.
Materials will be provide at cost. I use a deep mulch/ sheet
mulch type approach, so the materials are fairly cheap.
Plants will be sourced from
local propagators whenever possible. They will be at cost to you unless I raise them myself, in which case I will ensure that they are cheaper then the same plant from standard sources.
I will cover the Littleton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Englewood, and Lakewood areas. I may do work in other areas of the Denver metro, but I will cost a little more to cover travelling further.
If you are interested, PM me. I will come out to evaluate your
yard, and take a soil sample for testing. Once a guild plan is drawn up, I will plant woody plants, bulbs, and tubers, and install the deep mulch this Summer/ Fall, and plant the rest of the support plants this spring.
