Our journey starts with a visit to your garden, where we take time to understand its character—how the light moves, how materials have settled, and the overall feel. We also draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape to ensure the design feels grounded. As we discuss your vision, lifestyle, and needs, we begin to shape a thoughtful approach. After the visit, we’ll provide a detailed brief and a tailored fee proposal to guide the next steps.

With a clear sense of your vision, we begin shaping the garden. We start by obtaining a topographical survey to understand the site's exact contours and levels, ensuring our design works in harmony with the land. From there, sketches, mood boards, and layout plans help explore space, materials, and planting, ensuring the design feels both intuitive and grounded in its setting.

As the ideas take shape, we refine every detail—crafting technical drawings, planting plans, and construction details. We also obtain material samples to ensure their suitability and appropriateness for the project, checking their texture, color, and durability. From pathways to water, structure to softness, each element is considered to ensure a seamless transition from design to reality.

To achieve the highest standards, we invite trusted landscape contractors to price the project. This ensures the right team is in place—one that understands the materials, craftsmanship, and care needed to bring the design to life.

Sourcing is as much about instinct as it is about quality. We hand-select materials, trees, and plants, ensuring everything feels right for the garden’s setting and spirit. These elements set the tone, creating a landscape with depth and character from day one.

With a skilled team in place, the transformation begins. We oversee the process closely, ensuring each step is carried out with precision and care. As the structure takes shape, we arrange all the plants on-site by eye, ensuring the balance feels just right. The garden begins to settle into its new life.

A garden is never static—it shifts and matures, responding to time and the elements. We offer guidance to help it grow into itself, ensuring it feels effortless and in tune with the landscape for years to come.
