Garden and Landscape Design

Grow Your Refuge.

 

Landscape design goes far past choosing flowers and laying sod - it’s creating an outdoor extension of your interior space. It is your own personal part of nature. It is your sanctuary. 

On the pragmatic side, landscape design is more than putting lipstick on a pig; whether your goal is adding significant value to your property, expanding your livable space, adding function and flow to your living areas, creating classic curb appeal or curating showstopper staging for an event. 

Our designs call upon a wide range of garden themes, including English, Japanese, native, cottage, low-maintenance, xeriscape, and edible gardens, to make sure that your garden is uniquely representative of you, your family and your lifestyle.

With a focus on a holistic view of your garden, we consider everything from the soil and climate to the overall aesthetic and purpose of the space. Whether you're looking to create an escape, showcase your home or business, or grow a bountiful crop of heirloom tomatoes, together, we will work to create an outdoor space designed to enhance your property and wellbeing for years to come.

Our Design Process

Creating a garden is more than selecting plants and placing paths—it’s a collaborative journey into beauty, belonging, and lasting transformation. Here’s how we guide you through that journey.


Step One: Introductory Call & On-Site Consultation

Every project begins with a conversation. After your initial inquiry, we’ll schedule a short introductory phone call to understand the broad strokes of your needs, learn about your goals, and ensure our approach is a good fit for your project.

From there, we’ll schedule your on-site consultation—a one-on-one walk-through of your landscape, where we’ll listen deeply to your hopes, challenges, and dreams for the space.

This is your moment to imagine boldly. Bring your ideas, your questions, your Pinterest boards—we’re here to absorb it all and offer inspired possibilities, practical clarity, and emotional resonance.

We’ll discuss your priorities, aesthetic preferences, long-term vision, timeline, and budget—all with gentle guidance and professional perspective. To help prepare for your consultation, we encourage you to review our consultation guide and get all of your questions and materials together.


Step Two: Concept Design Proposal

After our visit, we begin shaping your vision into something tangible. Depending on your project scope, this phase may include moodboards, site layout ideas, planting palettes, and visual examples to bring the concept to life.

This stage is all about alignment. We’ll also outline a proposed scope of work, phase planning (if applicable), access considerations, and a recommended budget range.

Think of this as your garden’s story beginning to unfold on paper.


Step Three: Full Design Development & Installation Support

With your approval, we move into detailed design development. Whether it’s a targeted plan or a full-property master plan, we’ll refine spatial flow, plant selection, and hardscape details into a plan that reflects your lifestyle and landscape.

If you choose to partner with us for installation, we’ll oversee everything from sourcing materials and coordinating with contractors to placing each planter with intention.

This is where vision becomes form—and where every detail is curated with care.


Step Four: Final Touches & Aftercare

Once the installation is complete, we fine-tune the experience with finishing details like container placement, garden styling, and seasonal accents. You’ll also receive customized aftercare guidance to keep your landscape thriving long after our tools are packed away.

Whether we’re returning with fresh spring pots or simply checking in, we believe in long-term relationships with our gardens—and the people who live in them.
