The field catalog
Six services, one crew, no subs. Every project starts from a fixed, line-item price — and the $150 design consult is credited in full to any of them. If a job below isn't ours to do well, we'll say so and point you to someone who does.
No. 01Master plan · 3D layout · one crew start to finish
The whole property, thought through once and built right: a master plan drawn by a horticulturist, priced line by line, then built by the same crew that will stand behind it. Most projects run $8,500 to $60,000.
No. 02Echinacea · Asclepias · Monarda · Schizachyrium
Beds and meadows built from the plants that actually evolved here — coneflower, butterfly weed, bee balm, little bluestem. Deeper roots, less watering, and a yard that hums with life by July.
No. 03Local fieldstone · dry-laid · compacted base
Patios, retaining walls, steps, and fire pits in local fieldstone, built the way Sam learned on Forest Service trail crews — dry-laid on compacted base, pitched to shed water, warrantied for five years.
No. 04Swales · French drains · terracing · live staking
Forty-seven inches of rain a year, on a slope, over clay. We fix the water problem at its source — swales, drains, terraces, and deep-rooted planting — and warranty the fix for five years.
No. 05Pruned by horticulturists — never sheared into meatballs
Monthly care by people who know what they're pruning and why. Hand pruning, bed care, seasonal feeding matched to your plants — from $185/month, April through November.
No. 06Spring reset · fall cutback · double-ground hardwood
A proper spring or fall reset: beds cut back the species-correct way, edges recut by hand, and double-ground hardwood mulch laid two to three inches deep — never volcanoed against the trunks.
That's what the site walk is for. Wren looks at the whole property and tells you what it needs — and what it doesn't.
