All residential projects begin with a $500 design consultation. This is a strategic working session—not a sales call—used to evaluate the home, assess environmental conditions, and determine the most appropriate plant solutions for long-term success.

The consultation allows us to:

  • Evaluate light, layout, and environmental conditions
  • Align plant solutions with lifestyle and maintenance expectations
  • Identify opportunities for live plants, preserved features, or hybrid approaches
  • Establish clear scope and next steps

This consultation ensures recommendations are accurate, appropriate, and tailored to the home—not generic or speculative.

A Thoughtful, Design-First Approach to Residential Plants

Residential plant environments succeed when design, installation, and care are aligned with the realities of daily life. Light conditions vary, routines shift, and homes are meant to be lived in—not managed like commercial spaces.

Trendy Gardener approaches residential services with a design-first, lifestyle-aware perspective, ensuring plant selections and installations feel intentional, balanced, and sustainable over time.

Specialty Care for Architectural & Statement Installations

Certain residential plant installations—such as living walls, large statement plants, and integrated architectural features—require specialty installation care beyond standard plant maintenance.

This level of oversight ensures these high-impact features continue to perform, mature correctly, and remain visually consistent over time.

Specialty care may be integrated into maintenance programs or provided as a dedicated service when required.
