The Homestead Consultant
Services and Pricing
During the On-Site Consult, I can help you think through and talk through a plan of action for your unique property and your unique goals. This also gives me a chance to see your property in real life so that I can offer better information and advice. One hour of follow up phone/video consulting is included in this package.
("Local" means 1.5 hrs from Carthage TN. If you are not within 1.5hrs but I can drive there and back in a day the charge is $475 + $100 per hour of travel outside my area)
The property design includes both an interactive visual aerial layout (example) as well as written directions (example) with links and how-to videos. It is a truly customized step by step guide to fulfilling you goals for your homestead in a logical progression to save you time, money and headache. A first draft of the design will be sent to you for feedback and a final design will be sent after any needed modification are made. Two hours of follow up phone/video consult are included in this package. (on-site consultation is required and a separate cost)
Implementation Support
Implementation support can mean a few things. First, it can be that I am onsite to help you build, fix, plant or cut down something. This time is charged at an hourly rate and requires that you are within reasonable driving distance. Secondly it could be answering questions over the phone. Time for answering phone calls or text messages will be charged at $65/hr.
Remote Consultation $450
For those who live too far away to evaluate on site, I offer a remote consult option. This option is not as in-depth as the on-side consult and design options because there is nothing that substitutes for being on the property. However, this option allows us to talk about your property and goals to help avoid pitfalls and determine direction. This includes a 1.5hr-2hr phone or video call after I have reviewed your completed questionnaire, property information and topography/LiDAR maps of your land.
Detailed Single Space
Design $350+
This service is intended for or those who need help laying out exact plans for a specific space or system with instructions. This could be a food forest design, a victory garden system or a "Zone 1" design, a small solar electric system, water catchment/distribution system, etc. This is different than the "Property Design" in that it gives specifics on a given system rather than a general overview. Price starts at $350 but is often more as these are custom systems.
