Book Your Visit

The Ecological Garden
Consultation

A standalone, site-specific strategy session for your yard — and, if you want it, the first step toward design or installation.

What to Expect

Stonewall Garden is a one-person practice. When you book a consultation, you work directly with me, Tim — the same person who reads your site, chooses the plants, and guides any project that follows. Many people book a consultation on its own, simply to understand their yard and decide where to start. Others use it as the first step toward design or installation. Either way, now is a good time to get on the calendar: spring gardens begin with a fall consultation and winter design.

One small thing — I usually record our walkthrough on a small mic so I can stay focused on the conversation instead of taking notes. I'll always confirm before hitting record, and the audio is just for my own reference afterward, never shared.

📅 Scheduling

Consultations are scheduled Monday and Tuesday afternoons, 11am–4pm. We typically respond within 1–3 business days to confirm your appointment.

A Complete Service on Its Own

A Consultation Is Enough
If You Want To…

No larger project required. Many clients book a consultation, take the written site analysis, and run with it themselves.

Enter your address below to see whether we can serve your property. We work within 25 driving miles of Cuyahoga Falls — properties inside 18 miles are standard pricing, and 18–25 miles carry a 15% travel surcharge.

Optional — Help Me Prepare

Everything below is optional. The more you share, the more prepared I'll arrive — but "not sure" is a perfectly good answer, and you can skip straight to submitting.

How You'd Like to Work With Us

These help me tailor the recommendation to you.

Photos

Wide shots from a few angles are most useful — problem spots, plants you want to keep, and the view from the house. More than 5? Use the cloud-folder link below. Photos upload as you pick them; you'll see a status message when they're ready.

Site Conditions
Does your property have poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac in the project area?

We have modified service arrangements for properties with these plants due to severe allergies. We can still help with design and project oversight.

Before You Submit

What Happens After You Submit

From Request to Visit

  1. 1 I review your location and project notes, and confirm we can serve your area.
  2. 2 I reply within 1–3 business days to confirm the visit and arrange payment.
  3. 3 You'll pick a time on my calendar — everything I need to prepare is already in this one form, so there's nothing else to fill out.
  4. 4 I visit your site and we walk your yard together — I'll record notes on a small mic, with your permission, so I can stay focused on the conversation.
  5. 5 After the visit, I send your written Ecological Site Analysis with clear next steps — whether you're planting it yourself or moving toward a larger project.
