We highly recommend that you stop by our nursery on Austin Bluffs Parkway to purchase a copy of The Rocky Mountain Plant Guide which is published by the Colorado Nursery and Growers Association and sells for $4.95. (You may also choose to purchase our complete Landscape Design Kit that includes this CNGA Guide and comes with a dated coupon and a 60-minute consultation at Phelan Gardens.)

These items are meant to help you put your landscape project into perspective, prepare for your consultation and make your project become a reality. It is our goal to empower you—with a few suggestions from our professional landscape designers— to move forward making great landscape decisions. If, on the other hand, you would prefer Phelan Gardens to take a more active role, our staff also does on-site consultations and Residential Landscaping.

Finally, once you’ve massaged your plan a bit, we suggest you stop by our nursery to set up an appointment to bring your plan in and have one of our consultants look it over and offer suggestions in a 60-minute consultation. A minimum fee is to be paid when you arrange for this appointment. Call early so the time you want will be available.

****To get the most from the consultation it is essential that you:

1.   Complete the Landscape Design Worksheet

2.   Make a list of the tress, shrubs and perennials you would like to include in your new landscape

3.   Graph you current yard with dimensions of the house as well as existing pathways, fences, sheds, and all plant material (1” = 10’)

4.   Bring a few photos of the exterior of your home and yard and a soil sample to the consultation
