Design

Nature's Wild Urges

A garden is a very active place — one that is constantly changing. Through responsible design, careful placement and careful pruning, we blend the elements to create a balance between nature's wild urges and the human desire to design and control.

Interdependence and Balance

Everything has a relationship to everything else.

In landscaping, the plants we add have a relationship to the space, to the plants that already live there, and to each other — as well as to the house, the driveway, the swingset, the hot tub, the nearby lake. In other words, to everything. So when planting, we go beyond individual plants to create the ideal balance with all the other objects in that unique space.

Client Involvement

People often think landscape design is simply a matter of sketching out a design and replicating it. If that is your preference, we can provide a design and complete it. But usually, our environments evolve through observation, placement, and your involvement. We place plants and other elements organically, and your opinions — what you love and what you want — are a crucial part of the process. Nothing is set in stone (except the stones, of course -- but even 300-pound rocks can be moved, if need be).
