CONSULTATIONS & DESIGN

Personalized Garden Consultations

At Hyannis Country Garden we understand how valuable it can be to have “another set of eyes” on many landscape situations. In order to meet the needs of professional landscapers and home gardeners, we offer an on-site consultation service to help with all of your landscaping concerns.

Garden Design

Whether you’re starting from scratch or revitalizing/adding to what is already in place, we’ll help you to have the look and level of maintenance you desire. Our consultant will come to evaluate the site, discuss specific concerns and needs, and prepare a hand-drawn plan that is left with you.

Plants are chosen based on reliability and suitability for the site given your preferences. A couple of different plant options may be given for some locations so there is a choice between two equally suitable varieties; this is especially helpful when the plants suggested are unfamiliar, or when specified varieties aren’t available.

 Plant Identification, Garden Maintenance & Problem Solving

Many people inherit landscapes when a house is purchased, or have forgotten what was planted in years past. A consultation is helpful for identifying the plants that are in your landscape.

A consultation can also address the needs of the annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees you have. We will explain how to keep your plants looking their best. Insect, disease and cultural problems can be identified and treatment options given when needed. For this type of consultation it works well for the homeowner to take notes or record the consultation for later playback.

Details and Pricing

Typical consultations last about an hour to an hour-and-a-half.  Charge is $75.00 per hour. A one-hour travel charge is added if the property is outside of the towns of Barnstable or Yarmouth. Minimum fee is $75.00 – all consultation costs are payable at the end of the visit by cash or check. For more information or to schedule a consultation please call the store.

In-Store Design Help

Our staff is always willing to help with design issues and questions that arise when planting a landscape. In-store consultations are done without charge but it’s adviseable to make a set appointment so that we will have enough time to help you choose the best plants.
