What do you offer?

Pricing & Payments

What is the cost of your designs?
Our minimum order is $300. Discounts are available for four or more containers. Since every space is unique, we recommend sending us a message for a custom estimate.

Do you require a deposit?
Yes. Depending on the scope of your design plan, deposit amounts will vary. Once your deposit is received, we’ll secure your place on the calendar and provide you with an ETA window.

Do you charge for consultations?
Initial consultations are done via email, DMs, or over the phone. From there, we’ll determine if a site visit is needed.

Scheduling & Seasons

When should I book my seasonal designs?
It’s best to inquire as soon as you decide you’d like more information. Once we receive your inquiry, we’ll respond within 24–72 hours with details on availability and timeline, which will depend on where we are in the current planting season.

Our general schedule is:

• Spring installs begin in March

• Summer installs begin after Memorial Day (special requests may be accommodated)

• Fall installs begin after Labor Day

• Winter installs begin in November and may include festive garlands, wreaths, and holiday décor

Booking early ensures you secure a place on our seasonal calendar.

Do I need to commit to all four seasons?
No. You may choose all four or a two-season plan (two is the minimum).

Can you design for events?
Yes, we create custom designs for weddings, private parties, and corporate events. Please inquire via email at blumenandbranch@gmail.com.

Plant Care & Maintenance

How are containers cared for after installation?
All containers require regular watering and ongoing maintenance to thrive. For residential clients, you may choose to handle this yourself or opt into our maintenance program. For commercial clients, maintenance is required with every design plan to ensure your exterior always presents a polished, professional appearance. Our maintenance program includes watering, pruning, replacements, vacation care, and emergency visits.
