Landscape and Design

Creative Landscaping:

For over 40 years Blake Nursery has specialized in quality landscape services that include design, installation, and maintenance. The creative, customized solutions we provide address the specific needs of each client and their site: grading and drainage, hardscaping, irrigation, and plant selection and placement.

Starting with an initial consultation, we are good listeners when it comes to your personal requests, and our goal is to create an appropriate landscape that meets your needs and dreams. Throughout the design and installation process you can count on our continued guidance because nothing pleases us more than satisfied, repeat customers.

No matter the scale of the project, our emphasis is on plant quality and we are proud of our plant-driven reputation. Most important is our deeply felt reverence for native plants, healthy soil, clean air and vibrant waterways of Montana, and many of our projects include restoration of disturbed native landscapes.

Design Services:

If you’re in the market for landscape ideas and plans, here are three options for your consideration:

#1 Bring photos and measurements of your landscape project to the nursery and meet with a landscape designer, who will recommend appropriate plants and advise you on placement. Site prep, bed layout, and hardscaping are discussed as needed. The cost for this consultation is $80/hr and average duration is 1-2 hrs. This option is best suited for smaller projects with uncomplicated site conditions.

#2 A landscape designer meets with you at your property to review your project. Recommendations as in Option #1 are provided but with the added benefit of the designer seeing the site firsthand, thus bed layout and plant placement are more exact, and solutions to difficult site conditions can be discussed in detail. Cost for this consultation starts at $125, and may include additional charges regarding travel time to location. This option provides an economical way to obtain professional advice.

#3 With this option more time is dedicated to creating a professional, scaled plan that gives detailed information on all aspects of the project. Our landscape designer meets with you onsite to thoroughly review your landscape objectives. Because each design is clearly customized for an individual client, we highly value your input. Total cost for this option depends on a number of factors including project size, complexity, and property location. Before starting, we provide an upfront cost for plan development. If at this point you decide not to proceed you are charged as in Option #2.
