With a keen eye on design, an expertise in drought-resistant plant selection and hydrozoning, I will help you transform your outdoor living space into an exquisite continuum of your beautiful home. Your dreamiest landscape will be your personal outdoor oasis.
Multiple packages are available and tailorable to your needs and budget. Listed below.
Dream It: The Idea
It all begins with an idea. Garden Design begins with a concept that a client wants for their space. What is the purpose of your garden? What is the vision for the space? Is there’s a craving for a gathering space outdoors? Maybe it’s a complete conversion to a water-wise yard and restructuring plant selection so it’s more pollinator friendly. Or is it simply be that the outdoor living space needs a bit of a freshening-up? The first step is narrowing down the idea. Dream it.
Build It: The Concept Plan
After the purpose is set, the concept plan is built. This incorporates client interviews, site visits, photographs, measurements, a custom visual reference guide, and even soil testing if desired. Using this information, the idea is transformed into a plan on paper. Build it.
Grow It.
With a concrete plan, it’s time for installation. The final piece of a full design is collaboration with landscapers or DIY homeowners during installation.
The dream becomes a reality. The garden comes to life, expressing its’ purpose. Grow it.
