Services and Fees
Welcome to Eco-Terra Landscape Design Consultants! As the name implies,
we are a unique landscape design consulting company emphasizing environmentally
friendly landscape designs that are also functional as well as beautiful. As an ISA Certified
Arborist, Theresa also offers tree assessment consultations.
Services Available:

Our goal is to provide you with an enjoyable, easily managed landscape that will enhance
the beauty and value of your home while also protecting the natural environment.
To accomplish this, we emphasize the use of native plants, strive to minimize the
use of high-maintenance plants and eliminate the use of non-native invasive plants so
destructive to natural areas.
Because of our dedication to you, we offer unique quality designs and not the “cookie-cutter”
landscapes so commonly seen. Our vast knowledge of design, horticulture and environmental issues
allows us to provide you with the most current information available.
Our continued dedication to you means that you can access our web site for the latest
resources on gardening and landscaping. And we are always available for assistance,
either on-site or online.
Our Design Services fee schedule is as follows:
- $110.00 first hour; $90.00 each hour thereafter
- We charge a minimum of two hours
- Additional fee for sites greater than 50 miles driving distance from Suwanee in Gwinnett County

- Timeline for implementing the plan
- Description of plants used within the plan
- Detailed notes on special issues with your site
- General plant and care suggestions

If you are looking for a landscape design
drawing, we usually walk the property with
you to discuss what you are looking for or
to change in your landscape. We then take
measurements, decide on plant material, and
create your drawing either on site or at
the office. For more detailed designs, we
will schedule a follow-up visit. At this
time we present you with your detailed hand-drawn,
landscape design (to scale), complete
with detailed footnotes and a shopping list,
a timeline & sequence for installation, and general
design and care guidelines. The designs are
easy to follow and to read by you or your
landscaper for installation...And we are
always happy to answer your questions by
phone or email to help assist you during
your landscape installation.
The cost of your design will depend on the number of hours spent on creating
it. The size of your property, amount of pre-existing plant material, level
of detail you desire, time walking the property and consulting with you,
will all affect the cost. It can take as little as a few hours for a small
bed/pine-island up to several hours for a full plan. A typical 1/4 acre
lot front yard plan usually runs about $300. A complete plan (front
& back) for a typical 1/4 acre lot usually runs about $350-$400. If
you have a budget to meet, please let us know in advance and we will try
to work with your budget.

Please Note: We do not design structures
or hardscaping. However, we can help assist you to determine
the size, shape, and placement of these hard-scape
features from an artistic design perspective
(such as the placement and shape of a pond or waterfall).
We'd recommend that you then contract out
the work to a licensed firm (structural engineer,
landscape architect, builder, etc.) and they
could create a detailed structural design
drawing.
