Design Process
From site understanding to buildable plans.
1) Consultation + Site Visit
We meet on site to understand how you live, what the space needs to do, and how existing conditions shape what’s possible. We review light, soil, drainage, circulation, maintenance expectations, and priorities.
What to expect -
2) Concept Design
Concept plans explore layout, planting character, and spatial organization. This stage sets the overall direction before we develop details.
3) Detailed Planting Plan
The approved concept becomes a buildable plan contractors can price and install. Plant communities are designed for long-term performance, not just first-year appearance.
4) Installation Support (Optional)
Support can range from contractor coordination to on-site guidance during installation. The goal is to carry the design through the installation and get the details right.
