Garden & Landscape Design
Before the first stone is laid or the first tree planted, your entire landscape exists on paper — measured, considered, and rendered so vividly you can almost smell it.
Why Design First
Paper is cheaper than regret
Most landscape disappointments are design failures, not installation failures: the patio that's too small the first time you host, the tree that shades the wrong window, the border that peaks for two weeks and sulks for fifty. Our design process catches all of it before it costs you anything.
- Complete site analysis — sun, soil, drainage, views and privacy
- Concept options, refined with you through unhurried revisions
- Photorealistic 3D renderings and seasonal planting previews
- Build-ready drawings your town's permit office will love

A scaled plan of the whole property — even if you build in phases over several years.
3D Visualization
Walk through your future garden in photorealistic renders, by day and under evening lighting.

Every plant specified by species, size and quantity — composed for four-season interest.
Materials Palette
Stone, wood and metal selections with physical samples you can hold in your hand.
Fixed-Price Proposal

Most designs take 4–8 weeks from site survey to final drawings, depending on property size and how many revision rounds you'd like. We never rush the thinking.
Yes. You own your drawings outright. Most clients build with us — but the design is yours either way, fully dimensioned and build-ready.
Absolutely — it's what master plans are for. Many clients build over two to four seasons. The plan ensures phase one never has to be torn up to make way for phase three.
