Where Artistry Meets Ecology
Services
We offer a focused set of services that guide landscapes from initial planning through implementation.
Each project is approached as a complete system—shaped by layout, circulation, grading, and built elements, and developed in direct response to the architecture and site. Our work operates at the level of comprehensive landscape design, integrating structure, materials, and planting into a cohesive, buildable plan. We develop clear, buildable plans and details to guide implementation, and collaborate with contractors and specialized consultants as needed to support the project.
Where our approach differs is in the depth of horticultural knowledge brought to the design. Planting is not treated as a finishing layer, but as a core system—developed with precision to support long-term performance, seasonal continuity, and ecological function.
Landscape Design
Each project is shaped by how the site is used, how it relates to the architecture, and how it will perform over time.
We develop cohesive, buildable plans that integrate layout, circulation, grading, hardscape elements, and planting into a unified design.
Planting is considered as part of the structure of the landscape—layered and intentional, supporting seasonal continuity, ecological function, and long-term resilience.
Design Oversight
Ongoing design involvement during installation to guide key decisions and maintain design integrity.
We remain engaged as the project moves from concept to built work, providing ongoing design input to maintain continuity and clarity. This includes collaboration with your contractor, material and finish selection, and site visits during key phases to respond to site conditions and guide decision-making as the work progresses.
Plant Procurement & Placement
Sourcing and on-site placement of plant material to ensure the planting design is accurately realized.
We source and select plant material based on availability, quality, and site-specific conditions, making adjustments as needed to maintain the integrity of the design.
Placement is handled on-site, allowing for refinement in response to microclimates, soil conditions, and spatial relationships that are not fully resolved on paper.
Focused Garden Design
Targeted planting design for defined areas, developed with the same level of clarity and rigor as larger projects.
We develop cohesive, buildable plans that integrate layout, circulation, grading, hardscape elements, and planting into a unified design.
Planting is considered as part of the structure of the landscape—layered and intentional, supporting seasonal continuity, ecological function, and long-term resilience.
Garden Consultations
Garden consultations provide site-specific guidance for homeowners seeking professional direction without a full design scope.
We walk the property together to evaluate conditions, discuss goals, and identify opportunities for improvement.
Recommendations may include layout adjustments, plant selection, seasonal strategy, or next steps for phased implementation.
Speaking & Workshops
Presentations for garden clubs and organizations focused on design-driven landscapes and ecological performance, including our Wildlife by Design approach.
Each talk is tailored to the audience, connecting planting, structure, and long-term function in real landscapes.
