LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Gardens + Planting

Ecology with structure and intention.

Gardens + Planting — landscape context

Native and habitat-supporting plants can sit comfortably within formal geometry, defined edges, repetition, mass planting, specimen planting, and existing ornamental landscapes.

01

Native + formal gardens

Bring seasonal structure, native vegetation, and habitat value into a garden that feels deliberate and refined.

Kitchen gardens

Potagers, raised beds, herbs, vegetables, fruit, and perennial food plants are integrated with stonework, paths, and garden structures.

Plant material sourcing

Source trees, shrubs, perennials, plugs, and seed from nurseries and growers. Coordinate species, sizes, quality, availability, and substitutions with the planting design and installation schedule.

Planting as a connected system.

From rain gardens and productive beds to native planting around a pocket neighborhood, these studies connect the garden to its wider ecology.
