Gardens are a great way to add both beauty and practicality to your landscape. Excelsior offers raised bed gardens patterned after the Square Foot Garden idea invented and popularized by Mel Bartholomew. Although Excelsior is not in any way affiliated with Mel, we think he's got a great system. Square Foot Gardening (SFG) is already popular and still on the rise, and for good reason. The SFG method allows garden space to be reduced by 80% and dramatically reduces weed growth while still maintaining the same output as a full-sized garden. (Click here to check out the Square Foot Garden website.)

   Our standard garden beds are made from 2"x 6" hand-selected pine boards and are offered in three sizes: 3'x3', 4'x4', and 4'x8'. We use a soil blend of 2/3 compost and 1/3 peat moss. A grid is installed over the top of the bed, and can be removed for winter storage. Because they are relatively small in size, square foot gardens can be installed almost anywhere in your yard or even onother flat, sunny surfaces such as a porch or patio. You can also choose customized options for your garden beds. You can choose beetween construction materials such as pine, hardwood, composite, brick, and stone or formulate your own soil blend. The possibilities are almost endless.

   The pricing for installed garden beds is as follows:
                                                              Standard 3'x3': $45
                                                              Standard 4'x4': $60
                                                              Standard 4'x8': $100

   These are the prices for the first garden bed. Each additional bed installed at the same appointment is $10 less than the prices shown.
