Design-led landscape services
from concept through long-term care
We are a boutique landscape design studio. Everything we do begins with design.
We don't just install plants
we create places that work
We are a boutique landscape design studio. Everything we do begins with design — a rigorous, site-responsive process that produces landscapes built to thrive in the mountain climate, not fight it.
Our installation and ongoing care services are extensions of that design intelligence, not separate offerings. When you work with us across all three phases, the result is a landscape that establishes quickly, matures well, and continues to reward attention for years.
Each service is an extension of the one before it.
Design
Your site, read carefully. A landscape that could only belong to your land.
Landscape concepts, planting design, material direction, and site planning developed in response to architecture, landform, and mountain conditions. We work with your site, not against it.
Our specialisations include rainwater harvesting design, pollinator habitat, and ecologically grounded planting for high-altitude and semi-arid mountain landscapes.
- Site analysis and measurement
- Full-colour CAD planting plans
- Material direction and hardscape integration
- Rainwater harvesting and rainscape design
- Virtual design for Mountain West clients
Project Management
& Installation
Your design, built with the same care that conceived it.
The gap between a design and a finished landscape is where most things go wrong. We close that gap by managing the installation ourselves — with our own experienced team who know the design from the inside.
When a decision needs to be made on-site, they know what the design is trying to achieve. Fewer compromises. Fewer surprises. A result that matches the vision.
- Site preparation, grading, and drainage
- Hardscape: paths, patios, walls, water features
- Irrigation co-ordinated with rainscape logic
- Planting sourced to specification
- Phased installation planning
Ongoing Care
& Stewardship
A landscape is not finished on installation day.
A well-designed landscape matures. Plants find their form, canopy closes in, the soil ecology develops, and the planting — if it was conceived well — begins to look like it belongs. That process takes time, attentive observation, and skilled hands.
This is not general maintenance. It is the continuation of the design process.
- Monthly visits through the growing season
- Spring and autumn transition sessions
- Establishment monitoring for new plantings
- Selective pruning, division, and soil work
- Year-round stewardship plans available
Every project begins with
listening to the land.
Before we propose anything, we spend time understanding your site — the lay of the ground, how water moves, what the architecture calls for, and what you want to feel when you walk out your door.
Read about our design process →Initial Conversation
We begin by understanding your goals, your aesthetic instincts, and the practical constraints of your project — before any site visit.
Site Visit & Analysis
We read the land: sun and shade, drainage, soil, microclimates, existing vegetation, views, and how your home sits within the broader landform.
Design Development
Plant selection guided by altitude, aspect, and soil. Hardscape integrated from the start. Rainwater harvesting woven into the site logic, not bolted on.
Design Presentation
Full-colour CAD drawings, plant schedules, and material direction — presented on-site or by video for remote clients. A conversation, not a delivery.
Installation & Ongoing Care
From site preparation through planting and long-term stewardship — managed by the same team that conceived the design.
Inspiration
Years of writing on design, water, plants, and land stewardship in the Mountain West — for clients and curious readers alike.
Every garden begins a conversation.
We would be glad to walk you through what a design approach might look like for your property. Every site is different — the topography, the soil, the existing plantings, the microclimate — and we work site-specifically from the very first conversation.
