WHY CHOOSE KC BACKYARD GARDEN GUY

Designed to Thrive. Built for You.

Anyone can place a few plants in a pot. My goal is to create custom gardens that not only look beautiful the day they’re installed but continue growing and thriving long after they leave my hands. Every design is built around your space, your lifestyle, and the growing conditions unique to your home.

Rare & Unique Plants

Discover varieties you won’t typically find at big-box stores, selected to create gardens that stand out.

Thoughtful Design

Every combination is chosen for color, texture, size, growth habit, and long-term compatibility—not simply because the plants look good individually.

Built for Your Conditions

Sun, shade, wind exposure, watering habits, and maintenance preferences are all considered before plants are selected.

Honest Advice

You’ll receive practical guidance and realistic recommendations—not pressure to buy plants you don’t need.

Kansas City Proven

Every plant I recommend has been researched or grown with Kansas City conditions in mind whenever possible.

Ongoing Support

Questions after your garden is installed? I’m happy to help you keep your investment looking its best.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions? I've Got You Covered.

Every garden and every homeowner is different. Here are answers to some of the questions I hear most often before we begin designing a custom garden.

How much does a custom garden cost?

Every project is different. Pricing depends on the size of the containers, plant selection, number of arrangements, and whether you’re providing your own containers. I’ll discuss your goals and provide a clear quote before any work begins.

Absolutely. Many clients already have containers they love. If they’re suitable for planting, I’m happy to design and install a completely new arrangement using your existing pots.

Once you contact me, we’ll talk about your space, your goals, your style, budget, and maintenance preferences. If we’re a good fit, I’ll create a custom plan tailored specifically for your home and lifestyle before any work begins.

That depends on the plants selected. Some designs feature seasonal annuals for continuous color, while others incorporate perennials, shrubs, or houseplants that can provide beauty for years with proper care.

I’ll recommend plants based on the amount of care you want to provide. Whether you’re looking for something low-maintenance or enjoy tending your plants regularly, I’ll design with your lifestyle in mind.

Most custom garden projects move from consultation to installation within a few weeks, depending on seasonal availability, project size, and scheduling. I’ll keep you informed throughout the process so you’ll always know what to expect.

I primarily serve homeowners throughout the Kansas City metro area. If you’re outside that area, feel free to reach out—we can discuss whether your project is a good fit.
