Hello Terra Nova -
I am a professional gardener & designer in Oakland. I am currently doing a garden (re)design for a client in Temescal, and I would like to assist them with finding a local ecologically-friendly landscape company to eventually do the installation. Do you take on installations/do some collaboration on projects designed by other folks?
If so, I’d be happy to tell you a bit more about the scope of this project. I do not serve as a contractor on jobs, and my business is not equipped to do the heavier labor of demolition, hardscaping/construction, larging plantings, etc. Please let me know if you guys collaborate with other designers, take referrals, etc. — and if you are currently taking on new install projects!
Thanks! I look forward to speaking with you.
Regards,
Catherine Miner Hartenstein
