LET ‘EM RIP: 2011 HOME GARDEN AND LANDSCAPE CONSULTATIONS

Is it too early to talk about scheduling your home garden and landscaping consultation? Nope. The snow will melt at some point and when it does, I’ll be in your yards helping you to have more glorious, lower-maintenance gardens. I’ll help answer your nagging gardening questions, share tried and true shortcuts, and suggest places for you to buy your plants, gardening products and more. After several years of holding my hourly consulting fee the same, I am finally raising it. Please don’t be mad. My 2011 fee is $75 per hour on site. But I am changing my travel fee policy so there now will be no travel fees for homes within 25 miles of my house in Ballston Spa. For those 25 – 35 miles from me, the fee is $20 to help cover my driving time and gas. I also travel and consult outside my area. I have travelled to Connecticut, Maryland, and Vermont to date for one and two days of pre-arranged consulting with folks in these areas. To request a consultation in the Capital District region, please email me at pyours@nycap.rr.com and be sure to include your home address. Either I, or my scheduling assistant, will be in touch later in March or early April to look ahead to a date. Please also email me if you live farther afield and want to learn more about the arrangements for these. For more about home consultations visit localhost/pyours/gardenconsultations.html . Thanks!
