Landscape design

Going beyond builder-grade plants.

Our landscape design services are dedicated to enhancing the curb appeal of your home, creating a stunning and complementary first impression. Each element is chosen to reflect your taste and harmonize with the overall design of the house, so the inside and the outside finally belong to each other.

Curb appeal

A stunning, complementary first impression — the approach, the front door and everything a guest sees before they reach it.

Planting plans

A diverse selection of high-quality plants chosen to suit your style and the particular character of your property.

Beds & borders

Structure first, then seasonal interest, so the shape of the garden still reads well when everything has died back.

Container gardens

Thoughtfully-planned containers that add depth and visual interest, bringing seasonal color and texture to porches and terraces.

Seasonal interest

Planted so there is something to look at in every season, rather than one good month in spring.

Sourcing & install

We can source the plants and handle installation, or hand you a tailored list to complete with your preferred installer.

A harmonious balance between your home and your grounds.

Container gardens let you introduce seasonal color and texture while making the most of the outdoor space you have. Beds and borders give the property its structure. Together they turn a yard you tolerate into one you look forward to coming home to.

Our process.

  1. 01

    We walk the property

    Once you reach out, we schedule a visit to walk the property with you, listen to your vision, and talk through timeline and budget.

  2. 02

    The design

    A plan drawn for your property and your taste, chosen to harmonize with the house rather than compete with it.

  3. 03

    Materials & plants

    We help you select suitable materials and plants, and note substitutions so a nursery shortage does not hold up the bed.

  4. 04

    However you want it planted

    We can source plants and handle the installation, or give you a tailored list so you or your installer can complete the work.

Quoted for your property.

No two gardens are the same size, shape or condition, so we quote each one individually. Contact us to discuss your project and receive a customized, transparent quote.

Ask us for a quote
