Thoughtful Plant & Hardscape Placement

Garden Consultation

Is something wrong in your existing garden? Please reach out! Emily’s first love is horticulture and it’s where she got her feet wet in the landscaping industry.

She consults on:

Pests and diseases
Soil conditions
Improper blooming
Edging complications
Garden reconfiguration
Road-salt tolerant plants
Creative solutions to landscape problems

Garden Installation Services

Green Apron Gardens does not install landscape elements but has often worked to hand-off designs for installation with RS Landscape MN. If you request both design and installation from the start, then Emily, Ethan, and Kyle will work seamlessly to create your oasis.

Otherwise, take your finished design and use it how you wish! Whether you install some of the design elements yourself or hire it out, you’ll be glad you have the big picture to work off of.
