LANDSCAPE DESIGN SERVICES

According to the American Association of Nurserymen, your landscape can enhance the resale value of your home as much as 15%. Similar information presented by Money Magazine shows that landscaping has a 100–200% recovery value at sale time. From a practical view, homeowners who enhance the landscaping of their properties now can enjoy the advantages of the improvement and can expect an increased price for their property when it's time to sell.

Creating a beautiful landscape to enhance the value of your home has never been easier. Reds Garden Center has the staff, the knowledge, the equipment, and the material to bring your landscape ideas to life. Whether you need a few plants to rejuvenate your garden or a full landscape plan, Reds has the plants and the expertise to meet all your residential and commercial needs. Since each person and piece of land is unique, our designers integrate your ideas, property characteristics, and budget guidelines with our creative concepts to produce an innovative plan for your landscape. Customer satisfaction throughout the landscape design process is our goal.

Our Design Philosophy

by Kelly Monroe

For those of you who haven't been to Reds Garden Center, we are a very unique family owned garden center. Those of you who have been here know we have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff that can help you with gardening on every level. From taking care of your garden with things like fertilizers, solving pest and disease problems, to landscaping on a small scale by guiding you with picking out a replacement shrub, choosing a shade tree or evergreen, or even getting help with designing an annual pot!

We also offer gardening on a larger scale with our landscape design division. That's where I come in. My name is Kelly Monroe and I have been with Reds for eleven years. What I do at Reds is help those customers who need help with their landscaping. We offer on-site visits at a small charge where you can tell me what you are looking to change, fix, or completely redo. After the visit you will receive a detailed design and estimate of the areas we discussed. Even better is after receiving the estimate. We can show you the plants we have recommended here on our property and you can even choose the exact plants to go in your garden! Cool huh?

No project is too small or too big. We even can help break projects down in stages for you. We offer installation of our plants or we can show you how to do it on your own.

So why ask me for help at Reds? Well, when designing landscapes I imagine that the landscape is my backyard, or my front walk, or even my perennial garden. I enjoy making those spaces personal for each client. When we install and care for a job I care for it as if it were my own. I know my crew thinks I'm a little "loca." But we move plants inches to make them fit just right or turn them until they look perfect.

I can't explain it. There is just something special about working with living things and making spaces more beautiful that I love. It is an exciting experience to work with a couple, an individual, or family and get them involved in creating their outdoor spaces. To get them excited about what we are creating, about using the space, and to watch a space transform. It is truly fun.

There are moments you don't forget in this business, too. Like when a young child is so excited to tell me about the flowers we planted and what they do to help in the yard. How a grandmother tells me how much she enjoys the plants we have installed and that it is something she looks forward to seeing grow from season to season and share with her grandchildren. Or when a client comes in and hugs you because they are so excited to get started on a job. You just don't forget it. Those moments are important to me. These are "Reds" moments. It's personal, and I love doing it.

So when you're in your yard thinking about making some changes, let me help you create an outdoor space for you, your family, and your friends to enjoy. It's something to look forward to each season, ever changing, and beautiful. And I'm blessed to get to do this as my job.
