M. D. Vaden Estimates

Pruning & landscape design services are available near Medford, Ashland, Central Point and Jacksonville. Most estimates are free and saved for 30 days. Most people have me take care of their place within days or a week, but I can schedule out if that's what you need.

Pruning and Landscape Design

For new customers it's no problem to drive to their house for an estimate. Sometimes people will email a photo with a person or something for scale. I need a phone number, but the email is on the contact page if an image will be included.

For landscape design, I prefer a set estimate instead of hourly if a drawing to scale is what you need. For small areas, I often suggest a sketch and short 1 or 2 hour consulation. A design plan can raise costs several hundred dollars because of time spent measuring an area exactly to plot onto paper. And for small areas, a sketch and concept with notes can save those hundreds of dollars.

I do not like pitching sales of design plans the way a few landscape designers or architects do to build their work load.

Advice and 1 Hour Consultation for Drainage or Landscape Design Visits help homeowners understand their landscaping better and offer solutions. Typical visits are 1 hour to an hour and a half. The minimum starts at $150.

Infrequently, I get calls with people asking questions. If it's a brief 5 minute call primarily about one aspect or thing, I don't plan to charge and will offer that call reply for free.

Minimum When it comes to actual work, the minimum project (visit) is $120 to cover time and driving both ways. Often when someone just asks for one or two small things as brief as 1/2 hour, I inquire what else they have that can be pruned or provided advice about so they can reap the full investment.
