Call it a door.

Begin with one corner.
A few lines about where the light gives out is enough.

Before you write
Small Questions, Plainly Answered
What happens after I send a note?
We reply within a working day. If the yard is within reach of the cliff line, we propose a time for the Walk-Through.
What does the first visit cost?
The Walk-Through is $265 for sixty minutes on site. If you go on to a plan, that $265 comes off it.
How am I billed?
One invoice per design package. Nothing is taken at the door.
Do you plant the garden?
We draw and source. You plant, or your crew does. The drawing tells them where every fern goes.
The ground is open in November. Shade keeps.
Write before the first hard freeze, or after.
