What to expect when working with us.
Soil health comes first. We will work to build your soil which will give you a more resilient garden that is less water intensive. Be prepared, this can look messy at times. We are doing our best to mimic nature. That means leaves left, stems to stay over winter and grasses to be left with their tops on. This is valuable food for your soil and beneficial insects you want in your garden.
Incredible plant selection. We have been working with the same growers for over 30 years. This relationship gives us access to plants that you wont find anywhere else. We love plants!
We live and breathe design. We look at every aspect of your home and property including scale, location, lifestyle needs, and how people move through the spaces.
A happy garden means plants touching, ground cover where necessary, scent, a mix of shrubs, trees, grasses and perennials. We don't leave room for bark mulch!
We work with the seasons. With our warming summers this means planting is typically finished mid june and starts back up mid september. Pots can be done at anytime.
