A structured approach to creating landscapes that reflect your vision and enhance your property.
From initial concept to final planting, we guide you through every step of the design journey.
We begin with a comprehensive discussion about your vision, lifestyle, and how you want to use your outdoor space. This meeting helps us understand your priorities, budget, and timeline. We'll also conduct a preliminary site assessment to identify opportunities and constraints.
During this phase, we'll review your property's existing features, soil conditions, sun patterns, and drainage. We'll discuss your preferences for style, maintenance level, and long-term goals for the landscape.
Detailed site measurements and analysis form the foundation of our design. We document existing conditions, including topography, drainage patterns, existing vegetation, and microclimates. This information ensures our design responds accurately to your site's unique characteristics.
We also research local planning requirements, building codes, and any restrictions that might affect the design. This thorough analysis prevents issues during implementation and ensures compliance with regulations.
Based on our understanding of your needs and site conditions, we develop initial design concepts. These concepts explore different approaches to organizing your outdoor space, establishing circulation patterns, and defining functional areas.
We present these concepts with sketches, mood boards, and preliminary plant selections. Your feedback guides us toward the direction that best captures your vision while working with your site's natural features.
Once we've selected a concept direction, we develop detailed design drawings. These include scaled plans showing layout, hardscape elements, planting areas, and key features. We refine material selections, plant choices, and construction details.
This phase includes multiple rounds of review and revision to ensure every detail aligns with your expectations. We provide detailed specifications for all materials and plants, making it easy for contractors to implement the design accurately.
While you work with contractors to bring the design to life, we're available to answer questions and provide guidance. We can review contractor proposals, clarify design details, and ensure the implementation stays true to the design intent.
For clients who want additional support, we offer site visits during construction to monitor progress and address any issues that arise. This ensures quality execution and helps resolve challenges before they become problems.
After installation, we provide guidance on establishing and maintaining your new landscape. This includes watering schedules, initial care instructions, and long-term maintenance recommendations tailored to your specific plant selections.
We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients. Many clients return for seasonal updates, additional phases, or adjustments as their needs evolve. Your landscape should grow and change with you.
Understanding how long each phase typically takes.
For gardens under 200 square meters, the design process typically takes 4-6 weeks from initial consultation to final design delivery. This includes time for revisions and refinement.
Properties between 200-500 square meters generally require 6-10 weeks for complete design development. The additional time allows for more complex site analysis and detailed planning.
Extensive landscapes over 500 square meters may take 10-16 weeks to fully develop. These projects often involve multiple phases, detailed engineering considerations, and comprehensive documentation.
Construction timelines vary significantly based on scope, weather, and contractor availability. We work with you to establish realistic expectations and can help coordinate with contractors to minimize delays.
The principles that guide our approach to landscape design.
We view design as a partnership. Your input and feedback are essential throughout the process. We're not imposing our vision—we're helping you realize yours while bringing our expertise to solve challenges and enhance possibilities.
Every property has unique characteristics. We don't apply template solutions. Instead, we analyze your specific site conditions, climate, and context to create designs that feel natural and appropriate to their setting.
Beautiful landscapes must also function well. We balance aesthetic goals with practical considerations like maintenance, durability, and usability. Our designs look good and work well for daily life.
We design with the future in mind. How will plants mature? How will spaces feel in different seasons? How can the design adapt as your needs change? This forward-thinking approach ensures your landscape continues to serve you well for years.
