Landscape Design That Feels Native to the Gallatin Valley

For anything beyond a single bed or a small repair, yes. A plan lets us price the project accurately, sequence the work, and avoid the expensive mistakes that come from building one piece at a time. Because Greenspace designs and installs, the plan goes straight to the crew that builds it.

A site analysis, a concept layout, and a scaled plan that covers planting areas, hardscape, grading and drainage, and irrigation needs. Larger properties get a master plan that can be built in phases. You also receive a plant palette selected for your soil, exposure, and how much care you want to give the garden.

That is our starting point. We lean on plants adapted to the Gallatin Valley's climate and soils, then layer in proven ornamentals where they fit the look you want. The result uses less water, supports pollinators, and holds up to Montana winters. Our native plant guide walks through the species we use most and why.

Yes. Many clients build the structural work first, such as grading, patios, and walls, then add planting and lighting over the following seasons. A master plan keeps every phase headed toward the same finished landscape.

We are based in Bozeman and work across the Gallatin Valley, including Belgrade, Gallatin Gateway, and Big Sky. If you are just outside that area, reach out and we will let you know whether we can take the project on.

Most of the Gallatin Valley, including Bozeman, Belgrade, and Gallatin Gateway, is USDA hardiness zone 5a on the 2023 map, and Big Sky is colder at 4b. Our soils lean alkaline with heavy clay in places, and the last spring frost often comes in late May or early June. We choose plants proven in those conditions, starting with natives such as blanketflower, prairie smoke, penstemon, and golden currant.

Yes. No plant is completely deer proof, but MSU Extension lists many that deer usually leave alone, including yarrow, purple coneflower, catmint, lavender, junipers, and spruce. We lean on those where deer pass through, protect young trees, and avoid deer favorites like tulips, hostas, and arborvitae.

The City of Bozeman adopted water-efficient landscape standards in 2024 that limit high-water turf in new development, with the details depending on the project type. We design to the current rules for your lot and keep lawn where it is actually used, with water-wise planting everywhere else.

It depends on the size of the property and how many rounds of revisions you want. A single garden area moves quickly, while a full master plan takes longer. We give you a realistic timeline at the first consultation, and winter is the best time to design for a spring build.
