About us

“Experience Passion!”   At Donald Pell Gardens our inspiration is derived from the New American Garden style; a concept which connects gardens with the greater regional landscape. Our designs mirror Impressionistic examples of the American meadow and Eastern Forest. With great reverence for the wild garden, the American landscape informs our decisions about function and beauty.   In partnering with clients we help them realize the value and amazing form and function of a well planned garden utilizing sympathetic design as a way to restore harmony. Our designs consider function and circulation within space to achieve a sensuous experience with a composition that celebrates the evolving seasons.   We create immediate value and impact, engineered through the seamless integration of space, soils, and vegetation.  By selecting appropriate materials that thrive on the given site external resources are used minimally in plantings. Bold masses of perennials bring powerful seasonal aesthetic along with minimal maintenance. Structural features are integrated and crafted with timeless, natural materials.   With over 20 years of experience our passion is to inspire and introduce others to the magic and excitement of a strong thoughtful space and the drama of creating a “place” in the wild garden. Let us help you create your “Place.”

The landscaping and planting was done last autumn, and the results can now begin to be seen this spring. Although I suspect this project was a bit different than their norm, they really nailed the look and feel that I was after. In addition, they suggested some enhancements such as a woodland path and small sitting area (in which I will place a bench) that add nicely to the feel of the place. The staff were hard working, friendly, and responsive to questions and suggestions.
As is probably usual, there were a few minor issues that arose (and I'm pretty picky), but these were rectified to my satisfaction and with good nature.
I will likely use them again for another project a year from now.

Keith responded promptly to my request for an estimate on redoing my front steps and garden.  At the time he stated that they had an 8 week backlog of work.  As we were not in any hurry to have the work done this was not a problem for us.  At about the 8 week mark I called Keith for the status of our estimate.  It took a couple more weeks before we received the estimate with the work plan.  We were able to schedule the work for about 3 weeks after we received the estimate. 
The work crew arrived at the time and date scheduled and they all worked efficiently to complete the work in one day. 
We are very pleased with the new stone steps and the new garden.  It will take a couple of years for it to fully grow in, but I can see that it will meet our request for a low maintenance garden.

Over the past couple of months Donald Pell Gardens performed 2 projects for us. Don Pell met with us, discussed our needs and ideas, then prepared rough conceptual design sketches and cost estimates for the projects, and met with us again to go over the designs. We immediately gave the go-ahead for the slope landscaping, which turned out great. It met the functional need for allowing us a safe way down the slope on the beautiful natural steps, while greatly enhancing the aesthetic appeal of that section of the yard with the beautiful new garden. The first project turned out so well, we contacted Don about the patio. We wanted to have it installed, but the original estimate was above our budget. After talking it over with us, Don revised the design, bringing the cost down to our budget. After a week of painstaking work by dedicated workers, the patio is done and like the previous project, it has exceeded our expectations. Needless to say, we are very pleased with both projects.

He's knowledgeable and he's insightful about the proper plants for a woodland setting more than any other landscaper that we've used in the 20 years that we've been on this property. I think we've had five others and his selection of plants has been better than anyone else we've worked with over that time period.
