On-Site Consultation for Rain Gardens

If you need further guidance or support after April 22, you may schedule a one-hour On-site Consultation at your home for advice tailored to your particular landscaping situation. A $40 fee is charged for a visit from a Metro Blooms Landscape Design Assistant (LDA).

  • Our LDAs are available for on-site rain garden consultations. For $40, one Landscape Design Assistant will come to your home for one hour to aid in taking measurements, sizing and siting your rain garden, giving advice on plants and downspout redirection, or other questions you may have. These sessions are meant strictly for advice on landscaping plans. The LDAs are not expected to dig holes or perform any type of installation or construction.
  • On-site consultations may be scheduled on or after Saturday, April 22 throughout the summer.
  • To schedule a date and time for your Consultation, fill out our online request form to schedule and submit payment. Your reservation will be confirmed by an e-mail message. You must register and schedule your preferred consultation two weeks prior to the Consultation date. A Landscape Design Assistant will call or e-mail you to reconfirm one or two days before the Consultation.


  • IMPORTANT NOTICE: At least one week before your Consultation, call Gopher State One-Call at 651-454-0002 to have your underground utilities marked. This is a free service.
