Designed around
the way you live.

A complete plan for how the garden looks, feels and works around the home.

• Conceptual layouts

  Tailored zones for everyday living, recreation and a natural connection to the architecture.

• Site and microclimate analysis

  Consideration of sun, wind, drainage, views and circulation to help each area work well.

• Xeriscape and sustainable design

  Drought-tolerant, climate-resilient layouts shaped around the site and the way you want to use it.

• Formal French gardens

  Structured garden rooms, clipped forms, balanced axes, and composed planting borders.

• English cottage gardens

  Layered perennial borders, softer paths, and seasonal color shaped around the home.

• Botanical curation

  Thoughtful selection of trees, shrubs, and layered planting suited to the site and microclimate.

• Classical Mediterranean gardens

  Olive trees, fragrant herbs, drought-conscious planting, and stone details with a timeless character.

Permanent features that give the outdoor setting structure, character and a sense of arrival.

• Shade and privacy structures

  Conceptual layouts for pergolas, pavilions, gazebos, cantilevers, privacy panels, entry pillars and courtyard enclosures.

• Handrails and architectural metalwork

  Safety-minded details such as timber frames with powder-coated steel, cable systems, glass panels and minimal metal tubing.

• Landscape lighting

  Low-voltage lighting concepts for pathways and steps, retaining-wall ledges, specimen trees and architectural features, with smart-home zoning and timers.

• Conceptual water features

  Visual integration, placement, scale and material direction for water walls, fountains, rills and reflecting pools. Mechanical engineering, hydraulic calculations and plumbing are completed by the specialty contractor.

Outdoor stairs and level changes that make a sloped site easier to move through and more memorable.

• Grade transitions

  Outdoor staircases, structural risers, entrance steps and terraced slopes are planned for safe movement and visual impact.

• Coordinated details

  Steps can be considered alongside paving, planting, retaining walls, handrails and low-voltage tread lighting.

A considered layout for gathering, dining, cooking and relaxing outdoors.

• Outdoor rooms

  Layouts can include alfresco dining, outdoor kitchens, barbecue islands and fire features such as fire pits or linear fire tables.

• Comfort and flow

  Dining, cooking, shade and lounge areas are placed to support how people move through and use the garden.

Deck planning that connects the house, garden and outdoor rooms with clear structure and flow.

• Layout and framing

  Low-profile deck concepts focus on joist layout and framing for decks under four feet.

• Elevated decks

  Decks that need deeper structural footings require full engineering callouts as part of the project scope.

Architectural concrete and masonry planned as a refined finish as well as a lasting structure.

• Surface treatments

  Board-formed wood-grain texture, acid-stained or etched finishes, broom finishes and exposed aggregate.

• Built forms and paving

  Floating entrance steps, concrete pillars, masonry planters, geometric retaining structures, and layout patterns for driveways, entries, paths and courtyards.

Turf layouts that balance appearance, activity and the needs of the people and pets using the garden.

• Activity areas

  Planning for putting greens, pet areas and high-use play zones, including modern heat-reducing infill options.

• Turf inlays

  Geometric pavers, turf ribbons between pavers or flagstones, and structured grid-lawn designs.

• Living turf

  The overall landscape plan can balance synthetic turf zones with planting and other living surfaces.

Retaining walls and terraces that shape grade changes and create more usable outdoor space.

• Low-profile walls

  Layouts are designed with walls under four feet in mind.

• Taller walls

  Walls over four feet require integrated structural engineering specifications and city-permitting coordination. These requirements are defined with the project team.

Paving plans that make the route through the garden feel connected to the home and planting.

• Surface and pattern

  High-end layout patterns for pedestrian paths, patios, entries and courtyards.

• Integrated planting

  Paths can be coordinated with planting, boulders, gravel and turf ribbons between flagstones.

Planting that softens boundaries, establishes scale and adds living texture through the seasons.

• Botanical curation

  Strategic selection of specimen trees, structural shrubs and perennial layers.

• Privacy screening

  Dense evergreen hedge configurations for visual privacy and clear property edges.

• Layered planting

  Multi-tiered combinations of native species, groundcovers and accent plants.
