Garden Coaching Services Come to San Diego County, Save Residents from Costly Mistakes While Teaching Low Water Landscaping Techniques

March 4, 2010
Carlsbad, CA--

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

San Diego Low Water Landscaper Diane Downey of The Yard Fairy has recently announced Garden Coaching Services as one of the new offerings on her website. This is a perfect solution for local residents who wish to save money on landscaping while receiving professional landscaping advice from someone who has won awards for her beautiful garden designs.

One of the biggest ways that Yard Fairy clients can reduce their spending on landscaping is by putting into action the guidelines, tips and suggestions that Diane makes to clients as she coaches them through the low water landscaping process. "Many homeowners think they are saving money by doing it all themselves, when in reality they can overspend by thousands per year due to common mistakes that amateur landscapers make," says Downey.

Some typical blunders include planting plants too close together, not prepping the soil adequately, over- or under-watering, choosing the wrong types of plants for your climate, purchasing plants and outdoor decorations on impulse, and other errors that can be avoided with a little advance planning and foresight.

Not only does The Yard Fairy educate garden coaching clients on how to avoid such costly errors, but they also offer a wealth of information on how to substantially lower your water bill by replacing your current irrigation system with Smart Irrigation technology. San Diego residents who sign up for Garden Coaching Service come away with solid knowledge of drought-tolerant plants and how to grow and care for them, plus energy- and resource-conserving practices such as composting, rainwater recycling, edible landscaping, and general organic gardening techniques.

For those wishing to spend a little less this gardening season while creating beauty and tranquility in their own back yards, Downey's Garden Coaching service offers the best of both worlds. Clients get the freedom and enjoyment of being able to work the soil and cultivate plants on their own, along with the practiced guidance of someone who has been landscaping professionally (and doing it exceptionally well) for a number of years. Clients are also at a budgetary advantage, with the option to scale the type of service they receive according to how much they'd like to spend.

Garden coaching service runs $150 per hour and clients can opt for as many or as few hours of coaching as they'd like. The Yard Fairy also offers the option to bundle hours over the course of a month for increased savings.

San Diego residents who wish to get a jump start on their backyard gardening and landscaping plans with guidance from a seasoned professional should contact The Yard Fairy at info@yardfairy.com.
