our design philosophy

At the heart of our work is a simple belief: we want to work with nature as much as possible, and not against her! The land has its own story to tell, and our role is to help it flourish alongside your vision. 
We start by imagining what the space wants to be, carefully weaving in your dreams and your family or business’ needs. Our goal is to create a beautiful, thriving ecosystem that feels right all year long.  We love adding kitchen gardens, even in small spaces – with fresh herbs, and vegetables growing wherever you would like them.  There’s just something special about stepping outside to pick fresh ingredients for dinner!
We believe that the design process should be enjoyable and collaborative. We’re here to listen, understand, and then bring our creative touch to life in a way that feels uniquely yours. We work best with clients who trust our artistic process, treating it like a partnership rather than just another project.  Wherever possible, especially with big projects, we enjoy being brought in at the front end before construction begins. This enables us to understand and speak into the overall big picture vision for the project and to add any thoughts and outside the box ideas that would add to the outdoor experience.
For maintenance, we tailor our designs to what you can manage or we connect you with skilled garden teams who can help it thrive. 
We love adding special touches, like spots for cut flowers so you can gather fresh bouquets throughout the year. We also love finding creative solutions to long-standing landscape challenges.  Turning frustrating eye-sores into creative and beautiful function is our specialty!
Ultimately, we want your outdoor space to feel like a joyful extension of your unique identity both for you and your family, as well as your business and brand.
