Choose Your Service
Below you will find more details regarding each of our Residential Service offerings. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us and we would be happy to help get you started!
In-Store Advice
You are welcome to visit our two garden centers and use them as living showrooms. Our knowledgeable staff will provide expert advice and suggest plants and materials for all growing conditions. We will also walk you through the selection process, including scheduling, delivery, and installation of purchased items.
We encourage you to bring your garden's measurements and pictures or videos of your space. In addition, note the amount of sun/shade you have in each section of the garden, this will help our team better understand what will work well for your garden and provide the best direction we can. In-store advice and plant layout are free services you can expect at either the Red Hook or Williamsburg locations.
At-Home Consultations
 If you need or prefer us to take on your project, one of our experienced garden designers will meet with you at your residence for an initial consultation to discuss your project and assess your space. This consultation typically lasts one hour.
There is a nonrefundable $295.00 fee. During this consultation, we will outline your goals and objectives and produce a written cost estimate based on that scope of work.Â
Drawings & Renderings
If you elect to move forward with Chelsea on your project, know that our team can produce hand-drawn or computer generated renderings. These documents are often required by building boards or requested by our clients so that the project is fully outlined and presented graphically for better visualization.
Drawings and renderings start at a minimum fee of $595.00, depending on their complexity. After agreeing on the project scope and cost of your design, a 75% deposit is required. Once the program is complete the remaining balance of the project must be paid in full at completion.Â
Hardscaping
Our craftsman has expertise in stonework, carpentry, intricate material handling, and the delivery and installation of fresh sod, artificial turf, and irrigation systems. We can build custom garden carpentry, pergolas, arbors and trellises as well as install pedestal pavers, modular decking, and landscape lighting.
