Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a raised garden bed cost?
The systems we provide fall into 3 price ranges with our full turnkey installations. A simple beginner patio herb box starts at $900. The larger patio kit starts at $1200. The fully installed all inclusive raised be garden system can be from $24 to $35 a square foot based on beds and accessories purchased. For example, a 400 sq. ft. garden at 20x20 would range from $9600 to $14,000 to professionally install.
What is a "Turnkey" System vs. A DIY Garden?
Turnkey gardening systems are 100% built, installed, planted and irrigated raised bed gardens at your location. We use a landscape crew to prep the site space, then lay fabric, pea gravel and boarders. The beds are built, filled with organic soil mix, planted and irrigation is attached and set up in each box. Any additional accessories like a trellis , a fence or outdoor fixtures are included in the installation. We price the professional turnkey gardens to include everything needed and consider it an outdoor living space.

Do you ship the box to me?
No — TGL delivers an assembled garden box to your location. We install the patio box, add soil and plant the herbs or salad box. We are a in person experience!
How long does setup take?
A typical on-site setup for our Urban Patio boxes can be from 2 to 3 hours at delivery. A fully installed professional raised bed system of 4 to 6 beds can be a full day up to 3 days with a crew. Often, taping into the irrigation or land clearing will add days to the installation process. Some of the features are assembled at our location to save labor on the garden site. Additional accessories like a trellis or painting or fencing can add hours as well.
What if something dies or I have questions?
That's exactly what the TGL Garden App and SMS alerts are for. You get proactive notifications from our "Ask a Gardener" APP about extreem weather or seasonal issues. If there are plant issues with in the first 3 weeks of installtion and the irrigation is working correctly, We can replace with a like plant. If it is out of season we will find an alternative plant.
Can I really grow food year-round in North Texas?
The short answer is YES! We will teach you to understand what food plants grow in each of the seasons in North Texas. You can grow a lot of things in the "shoulder seasons" as well as the Fall and Winter seasons of North Texas.
Can a beginner realy maintain a raised bed garden?
YES! We will teach yo to focus on simple growing steps. You can grow leafy greens and herbs in a small space like a patio box with very little growing experience. Our "Plant-O-Gram" growing guides will help you get started then move up to more difficult growing options. A simple 1x4 patio box can grow leafy greens for several meals a week, its very easy to start with greens.
